They shot.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
That's great. Yeah, I love to hear from y'all. Speaking
of deer season. It's over well actually today right now,
the last hours of it going on right now, stays
(20:06):
on the stove. Yeah, man, it was a good one.
Little recap was a little recap. Started off in Kansas.
Dan killed a giant.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It was a remarkable season.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Came home, did some hunting, went back. I killed a giant?
Is that that? My dog was just scratching the door.
And then you killed a good deer five days later
in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And then surprise, I killed a good deer two days ago.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And then two days ago he caught up with a
a big old deer.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Here's here's the thing I'd like to talk about.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Dad killed a good dear with dad killed a good
deer in between that?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Is that that deer we scored him the other day? Yeah? Great,
seven point seven. You don't get the four mass measurements,
you know, you don't get three of them ones I forgot.
I didn't even think about that. We were taking something
gonna be a few benches. But shoot, man, I mean,
but you do that and and no time and you're
(21:04):
talking ten to twelve anyway, Nobody cares about this to
listen to this pretty.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Much, dude, one time that and that's the thing that
kills you, right, is like no six points gonna score
or seven points. I mean if you kill a any
seven point one hundred and thirty inches or more, that's
a giant.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I mean, if you added a time and a mass
measurement to this book, he's pushing one third straight up. Yeah.
And you know, we went back and looked at that
deer and we had we had pictures of him from
the year before where he was easy four and a
half five and a half years old last year.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So I mean he's an old deer. Yeah, that's why
we shot it. That's why we hunted him. I think
it's I actually passed him earlier, but I shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I think it's fun too to recognize, like a deer
that's older and say I'm hunting that deer period.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
To me, that's that's the that's the pinnacle of hunting
like that.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
That gets me fired up. The most gives me most
excited about going into.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The woods is when you have deer on a list
and you call it a hit list or whatever you
want to you want to call it. Shooters, but you're
going in there after a deer. And that's and that's
another reason I think I passed that deer and me
and Dad were talking about this. I passed the deer
that Dan killed one of my first sits in Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
And it's because.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I'm not good. I mean, I saw that deer right
and I videoed him, and I was like, man, he's
probably he might be four and a half, he might
be five and a half. I'm not sure, but it
was hard to tell for me, and I didn't have
a relationship with him. So like, it's gonna be real
tough for me that a deer has to be an
absolute monster for me to shoot it the first time
I ever see it, because I I want to know
(22:42):
a deer like I want to And not that I
didn't shoot that deer because I didn't know him, just
I wasn't sure how old he was. And then we
kept on getting pictures of him, and we kind of
we kind of created.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
This relationship with this seven point.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
We figured out that he we had pictures of him,
y yeah, and you go back and you find older
pictures where he's three four five, and so you know
that this deer is in the prime, you know, growth
and and kind of maturity of his life, and and
then you're like, Okay, yeah, let's shoot that deer. And
that's I mean, that's the reason I didn't pull the
trigger on that deer that first time.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I should have.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He's a great deer. Yeah, I mean looking at pictures
and seeing the video of him and really getting to
analyze how big he was prior to hunting him. He
was pretty No, I wouldn't say he was let's just
talk about how that hunt went down. So we were
getting random pictures of this deer at the end of
(23:32):
one of our food plots, and he just well you
would get we get, but he wasn't regular.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
He would consistently be regular for about three days, coming
from the same area, coming from where he was bed
and going to whatever food he was eating, and this
is his travel, this is his pattern, and he'd be
he'd do it for two or three days. You'd get
a picture of him in the morning coming back, and
get a picture of him in the afternoon leaving.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And but I feel like there was a period there
where we got him real regular during when it was
rud Then there was like that weird post rut thing
when he's probably liked up with a dose. We didn't
see him very much, and then what we consider second route,
which is usually Christmas, is he turned back on. He
turned back on. We didn't have any time to go
hunt him, and uh, really though it's it's last ditch
(24:14):
effort on our part that we hunted him. After New
Year's we had two days to go with dad. Yeah,
and uh, the kids were healthy enough to give us
forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well not really, but our wives were grateful enough, gracious enough, grateful,
grateful for us going.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
On, gracious enough. I'm grateful enough.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, so they turned this loose for forty eight really
thirty six, I guess we hunted one afternoon We went
and had a terrible salad.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
For God, that sound don't see the place.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
No, it was bad.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Do you all feel like when you get a bad
meal at hunting camp it kind of like the trip.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, but I think part of hunting campus is eating
and cooking and going and having good meals.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And it was freezing at night, and we've been in
the woods late. We were just let's just go get
something in salads and small towns always taste the same.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Two things go together like a salad, a bad salad
and a small No, you should put out.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The country song sat in a small town. So anyway,
I want to make you.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Smile a little, make Friel.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Put too many cute come resented, the maters are wilted,
and the grass just I mean, and let us let
us just don't look?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
What's that sound bad?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
What's that taste? And sad.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Love? A bad salad and a small town man. That's
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Come on, dude, somebody cut that.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Uh. And so we started getting them like once every
four days. He would roll through this into this food plot.
We just like, dang, there he is big seven, he's
a stud. What are we doing? That's the dear we
need to be hunting. That's obviously a five six seven
year old buck man. And and he's there occasionally, right, well,
what do we do? We started looking. I'm like, I'm going.
(26:09):
I remember I was like, I'm going today. It was
the day of New Year's I was like, I'm going.
Reads like I can't go, Dad's like I can't go,
and reads like dude, col Frint comes on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I was like, yeah, you're right, Onday or Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But it didn't it didn't get it anything.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Thay, Yeah, so we rolled in So I talked to
you out of it, so I.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Didn't I didn't spend my credit. I actually texted Shine
and I said, hey, cold front doesn't hit until a
couple of days. Would it be cool if I went later.
She was like, actually, I would prefer you to go
tomorrow instead of today. I was like sick, which, in
hindsight bought me that afternoon. Sure, because if I had
gone the day of I would to spend the night.
I would have come back Thursday and not even hundred
(26:52):
Friday instead of Thursday afternoon, slept on into the Friday morning.
It saw almost a deer pilot deer I saw holiday.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I missed the same I took my boat.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I took my boat.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I took Maybell, trying to trying to put her on
the track, and uh, I missed. I missed the same
dough a lot of times. Yea with my bow and arrow,
I think my side was off. And and once I
missed her twice, I just kind of put it up,
think I don't want to I don't want to shoot
one in the leg or something.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
So we hunted Thursday, spent the night. I had a
bad sealing Friday morning. Nothing, No dear moved late. They
moved to late. Dad stayed later, and I saw some
dear those and then we and then we were really
contemplating going home and just being like, man, good season.
And I texted Shy and she was like, no, get
(27:41):
it out of your system, just do it. This is it.
You're done after this afternoon, come back that dark, you know.
So went sat in there. Dad was an hour and
a half late. At I got in the standard like
talk had three fifteen here it's four where there coming
(28:02):
down the draw. When I left the camp, Reed and
Dad were both sitting there basically contemplating whether or not
they were going to hunt. And so I was like, well,
I don't care if they're coming or not. I'm still going.
So I went got in the stand three point thirty eight.
Here Dad coming down the haller just one hundred and
fifty yards from my blind through the timber, and he
(28:25):
goes sits in his thing. We start texting, I got doze,
I got doz, I got bucks, I got whatever and all.
And I didn't have anything going on. I didn't see
any deer. I did see this, which was really interesting.
And I'm not lying. I had a bunch of turkeys
in the field and a spike came out and was
literally he came running out of the woods and kicked
(28:47):
the turkeys like they were beach balls. I promise, I promise,
mad at them. I'm like he was just like playing
with them, picking a fight with him or something. It
was crazy. That's the only day I saw until about
four point thirty, and then deer came out from everywhere,
and that's when that col front was really starting to
set in. Was that that night, yea, or right on
the front of it. Deer pile out into the wood,
(29:08):
out of the woods, into the food plot. I'm watching those.
I'm seeing probably a couple two and three year old
eight points bump. There was eighteen deer in the field
at one time. A spike comes out. Spichael Jackson comes out,
he's chasing all over, he runs them all out of
the field. Everything's gone because he's just so annoying. Everything's gone.
Then he runs off. Spice can do that. I'm right
(29:29):
last evening, I'm gonna break the blind down, get these chairs,
and I start literally pulling up the stakes.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
In the blind.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
There's like ten minutes left to shooting later five o'clock. Yeah,
and so I sit back down. And when I sit down,
one hundred and twenty yards in front of me is
the seventh He just steps Actually I didn't even see
him step out. I just see him standing in the
food plight one undred twenty yards looking at me. And
I said, oh snap, I could see the big split
on the left side. I get down on the gun.
(29:56):
When I say, a good book.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Last last afternoon, here's the final chapter.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And I my scope was so'sy and I have a
high powered scope. It was zoomed in, excuse me, to
the end of the field, and dude, I could not
find the deer in my scope, and it was getting
it was getting dark. I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking.
I look back over the scope. By this point he
is more than halfway across the food plot and not stopping.
So the deer's moving. Deer's moving, deer's moving. I'm trying
(30:21):
to get on him. I die my scope back, I
get back down on the sticks. I look down and
I find the deer just as he is about to
enter the timber like where I cannot shoot. It's like
a wall. He's just going to step into and so
I get my scope on the deer and in my head,
(30:42):
I'm like, that looks a little low. But in my finger,
I'm like, kakaya, pull trigger. And I think that comes.
I think that comes from years of being terrified that
I'm never going to see that deer again and just
kind of freaking myself out. And I immediately it was like,
you idiot, you messed that up. I pull the trigger.
(31:06):
The deer mule kicks and disappears into the timber. Right,
So I'm like, okay, what do I do? I walked
to where the shot was. I don't see blood. Immediately,
I come back down the road a little bit and
I hear a deer crashing. Right. So this is after
about fifteen minutes, so I've given the deer enough time
(31:28):
to where if it's vital, I feel like he's dead.
And so when I hear the deer crash, I immediately leave.
We leave, We wait an hour. We come back, and
we spread out and we walked through that timber and
we walked what forty yards and he's laying their stunk
on dead.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, which is the right thing to do. We were
pretty confident that you heard the deer fall. But good
on you to back out.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I think that it's important to talk about, like giving
how we decided to do what we did. Number One,
I went to find where the deer shot. I mean
where I shot the deer quickly, super quickly, but probably
between eight and ten minutes, in order to try to
find below before it got dark.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I don't regret doing that. I backed out because I
heard something kind of suspicions. Yeah, I mean that's pretty quick.
It's pretty quick to go look at that. But the
reason is because we were losing light, you know. But
I mean there's also it's kind of like give him,
give him half an hour, right.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You got forty yards from where I shot that deer
starts the thickest brier patch for what, dude, eight hundred
acres of just total.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, but it don't matter.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I know.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I'm just saying you can't track a deer. You can
barely track a deer through that that stuff. Yeah, I mean, yeah, right,
but it doesn't matter. If the deer gets there, he's
you know, he's there. What I'm saying like the way
you track it, like the way you respond to shooting
a deer. That doesn't affect it is that there's the
thickest stuff in the world.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I'm not sure what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Okay, just go keep it.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
So anyway, we back out, we go to the I
tell them everything that happened. And one of the key
things I think to think about is a deer is
not going to mule kick at the sound of a shot.
He's gonna mule kick at the at the act of
being hit. And if you see that you've hit that deer.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And I was a thousand for sure sense sure that
that happened. Because when that when it's all going down
and you're flustered, you're kind of nervous. What just happened?
Where did I see? Blah blah blah. A lot of
those details get mixed up and missed and kind of misconstrued. Honestly. Yeah,
but if you can latch onto the things you know happened.
I know I shot this deer within this vicinity, I
know he mule kicked. I know I heard something that
was not a deer getting up running off. Let's we
(33:40):
give him an hour and a half. We go back
and he's stone called dead land there.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, I think in those in those scenarios where because
it listened. Most of the times, it doesn't happen like
you see it on TV or on YouTube. It's not
gonna the deer's not you're not going to see the
deer from two hundred yards away. You're not gonna have
time to prepare, put yourself in the perfect situation, especially
in the South, to shoot the deer. A lot of
times even even I mean in the Midwest, it happens fast.
(34:04):
You know, just those scenarios, those scenarios that you're watching
on TV are the perfect case scenarios, a lot of them,
and it doesn't work out like that. So instead of
just like reacting to the situation, which would have been
you shot the deer, you're like, oh man, I got
to get to him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You just go in.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
You don't find blood, you kind of freak out, You
kind of go in there a little bit, don't let him,
don't give him time to to I did, and jump
him into that stuff where you can't get to him.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I walked to wear shot, there was no blood and
I got out.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, And I think that's the right thing to do,
is to because it doesn't matter right, The worst thing,
the worst possible thing you can do as a deer
hunter after shooting a deer is push a deer. And
especially if you if you've got hard tracking with if
it's a cutover or a thicket or water or whatever like,
you don't want to push that deer across property line
(35:00):
anything any of that and it hurt. Deer is gonna
lay down and try to try to heal and and
most of the time that's where you'll find them. But
the best thing to do is back out and let
happen what's gonna happen, and reassess what happened. And like
we were talking about, we met up at the trucks
and you told we sat there and you were telling
us and you're like, I saw a mulk kick and
(35:20):
and yeah, miss deer, don't milk kick. So assess the
situation than than than going there and find the deer.
But yeah, he's a great deer. And I thought kind
of I found it. I think you shot that deer
because we hadn't had a deer. I picture that deer
in about a week, right two days. I think you shot.
(35:41):
I think you were sitting there on his trail the
first time he was coming back into his pattern.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I think that deer. And it's interesting because because.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Every deer like watching them on trail cameras and hunting
this year that the deer I hunted was either hunting
them on on the return of that like.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
And here's what I mean by return. When it's when.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
It's rut, when it's post rut, what they're gonna do
is they're gonna breed that first dough they come into
that's that's hot. They're gonna stick with it. They're gonna
bed down with it, and they're gonna be locked down
with it, and then they're gonna breed it, and then
they're gonna gon gonna go try to find another one.
When they leave that dough off lockdown, that puts them
in this pattern of they're gonna they're gonna stay in
there their core area and run that pattern a few days,
(36:28):
and then they're going to take a little trip if
there if there's no hot doughs in their core area,
they're gonna take a little journey, an excursion is what
they call it. And they're gonna they're gonna make a
loop and it's not gonna be a random loop. It's
going to be a consistent loop of maybe off your property.
Maybe you've got big enough property that they're gonna stay
on it, but they're not gonna be back in their
core area for a few days because they're gonna go
(36:49):
try to find a hot dough. And every big deer
I hunted this year that the two that I killed,
one of Kansas won in Tennessee. I killed one of
the Kansas when he was making his journey back. Uh
when he was actually when he was I think he
had just left his core area and he was coming.
He was making his two or three day little little
stamp and U uh got him. And then the one
(37:10):
in Tennessee, I think I caught him coming back into
his his core area. I think he'd been gone for
a few days and then he found a hot dough
in the core area and was was was following her
and making scrapes and and shot him on that. But
that's a late season, man, That's a great tactic because
because here's here's the deal, Like even in Tennessee, you're
gonna see deer. We had a buddy tell Us of
the day that on February second, he saw a deer
(37:31):
breeding another deer, and as long as there's doughs that
haven't come into heat and a lot of those young
ones having and yearlingks having and the ones that hadn't
got bred haven't, they're not They're going to continue to
come into heat for for a while until those bucks
are gonna be Those bucks are gonna be on them.
And so it could be February and they could they
could be a fourth or fifth rut. It just if
there's a hot dough in the area that the bucks
(37:53):
are gonna be rutting. And so late season, man, it's
it's a it's a great and we kind of never
feel we didn't figure that out really till you know,
we've we've finded really hard late season for the past
five ten years. But like early on, I don't feel
like we hunted very hard late season just because you
think I want to hunt post rut or pre rut
rut post rut.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Late seasons a great time to I mean, they're all
run down, they're hungry when they're in their quarreya and
they're eating, they're gonna be eating heavy.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
If you have food, which is what we had staying
with in that food plight, I mean, yeah, you got
to have everything. It helps. That helps. I mean, we
don't even start planting our foodlines most time till September
because we know there will be effective in uh December
and January. I mean we don't. We don't start them
in the spring like most people do.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
But yeah, that was that was awesome. That gives you
a little update on our the latest stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, I'll post a picture. I adn't posted yet, but
I will.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
But man, getting it off of that now. Deer season's over. Depression,
it's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Speaking of dear pression, I haven't I have a a.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Uh call, call our DM hotline if you have depression,
if you need some help. Yeah, we could get some ways.
We got some ways to do crop a fishing, yeah, absolutely,
or start scouting again, get in the woods, move stands.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Saw a buddy of mine. This is you don't know
about this, but a buddy of mine. Keep it quick.
You've told me a giant deer jihnt deer.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Actually, I mean I'm talking about like for years, like
the past two or three years.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
He texted me just a picture and it was a
guy with a flatbar behind the deer had been living
on his property. That's tough, and he had videos of
it and like had actually missed the deer in the
year prior, but I felt sorry for him.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I'll put you in pressure in the middle of the sea.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Well, they're at the count of the Italian too. I
don't know. I don't have an idea on that yet.
But here's the thing. Here's the thing he asked me.
He said, Hey, man, I gotta know what to do.
He said, I feel like somebody just shot my dogs
going through it. He said, I just want to sell
the place. Be done. He's like, I don't have an
another deer to hunt. How do you get back on
the horse when the deer that you've been hunting for
(40:05):
years ends up in a picture behind a dude with
a flat bill. That's a good question, I thought so too.
It's a good question. Was a podcast worthy honestly, because
it's like he even said, I had had visions of
me shooting this deer and it being so big that
y'all called and interviewed me on y'all's podcast. Who's the
(40:27):
guy that killed it? We can call him and oh,
I'm sorry, would that be? But wait, he's gonna listen
to that I know. I know.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
First off, sorry that happened to you, buddy. Yeah, that
is part of it. Yeah, that is part of it.
That's part of it. It's it's never happened to us.
But I guarantee you there's plenty of people.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Trying to think, has it ever happened to us?
Speaker 1 (40:50):
I've had three year olds that I was passing get shot,
sure that, but not like but not like the six.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Point had gotten shot by somebody flat.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Beilt drove to your house and he's in the What
if he's in the back of somebody else's truck in
your driveway and they're like, yeah, I got this.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
I would say, Okay, you can. There's there's a few
options to get over that.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Right, you say, I'll say how I answered it. After
you say you would answer, I would.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Say the only way to get back on the horse
is to get back on the horse and and make
it a dose season, make it like fill in the freezer, dude.
And and I'm just saying, like I'm just saying, I'm
just saying no, I mean, bucks gets you up, but
I'm saying, pull the trigger on something.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
He said the deer on one seventy one and.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
You're gonna shoot dose that's in an area that ain't No, Yeah,
I'm gonna go shoot dose. I mean, what are you
gonna're gonna stop hunting? Yes, okay, well then that's gonna
put you even farther into the depression that you're I.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Said, honestly, bro to'd be straight up honestly, and I
tried to, like really process. I think I would just go,
I'm kind of done with you, and I would go,
I would.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
You'll be miserable to be around.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Keep running cameras. You're gonna keep running cameras.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Yeah, but you want to go hunt? Man, go hunt?
What go shoot dose? Go just go get back in
the in the mindset of hunting.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
If you've got a week and a half left and
your giant deer just got killed, you're telling them I
gonna go shoot does a week and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,
I told him what I would do. What I would do,
which is the truth. I'm telling the truth. If I
knew my dear was gone, that I have been hunting,
is there a chance of something else walking through? There's
always a course, But dude, let's be for real. I say, No,
(42:36):
one seem to want to run around other where he's
out outside of that.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Also, I was going to say, just go, you know,
go try to find some more land of hunt and
get it off your mind completely, try to try to
see something new.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
He did see me a picture from the back. He
was back in the tree.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Good for him, Good for him.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Sorry, but that happened to you anyway, curious about curious
about how y'all feel about that?
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, uh yeah, how about you all? Y'all dms what
you would do in that situation. You're right right, that's
what you were doing.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I'm sure happened to other people.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Oh dude, there ain't no doubt it just hadn't. Plenty
of stories.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Specifically happened to me. I said that to him, to us,
I had this is this situation is not exactly happened
to me.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Yeah, uh, let's get us some fan questions. What did
y'all do?
Speaker 1 (43:17):
And we're gonna do these types of podcasts throughout the
season two, like just kind of hop on here. There's
no video, it's not like a legit official no guest
I think y'all are kind of responding to these the
same way as you are. Guest ones that we were
interviewing somebody. I think you, I think you enjoy these.
We enjoy doing them.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
So we're gonna do this throughout the year periodically and
just kind of answer some some submitted stuff that that
y'all have have sent us.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
So keep on sence sentences sending us those ciz Centacen
and Centacen and.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Rhythm Cinnamon buons Cinnamon.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
First fan question, what did y'all do to train? Maybe
I'll a trail deer that's you. I did it. I
looked up a bunch of YouTube that's gonna be real loud. Dude,
you are the worst and your combat boots. Man, I
just I watched a bunch of YouTube Oh my goodness,
I watched a bunch of YouTube videos.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
I listened to a bunch of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
We found Maybell and I'd always wanted a hunting dog
and she's turned you know, she still is a hunt dog.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
She trailed Dan's buck the other night.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Oh yeah, it's fun. We do you even talk about it?
Speaker 3 (44:22):
No, because you were so selfish about your deer, But.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
You know, I always wanted to experience that and kind
of kind of see hunting through through a dog perspective,
and and man, it's been it's been awesome. She's, you know,
six years old now, and she's trailed up a bunch
of deer. She didn't do it a whole lot anymore.
You think she's six years old, she's six or seven.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
She's older than that. But go ahead, No, she's not.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
She was born twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Okay, she's seven years old.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Yeah, twenty eighteen, twenty twenty, No, so twenty twenty five,
she'll be.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Seven, sure, buddy, whatever you think.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
Okay, May of twenty eighteen, Bro, what is that?
Speaker 2 (44:57):
We go go?
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Are you how old does that make her? Nobody wants
to hear this, dude, because you're wrong, and she's I
know this is a sort of subject. I don't want
my dog to be old either, But she's already she.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Was born than twenty eighteen. Y're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
But anyway, I actually Dan hit a deer before season,
uh in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, and uh she
was she was like it was twenty eighteen because she
was ten months old when I started or ten weeks
old when I started training her, and and Dan.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Hit a deer. I went and found it. I cut
the hoods off of it.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Deer when they get injured or hit or you know,
have a shock to them, they put out a they've
got what's it called, they've got something what is it
called something on the bottom of their feet that extracts
a like a scent track, that like a gland on
the bottom of their foot that puts out emits that
(45:51):
emits a.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Scent. And so you.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
Actually try to stress right something like that.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Yeah, probably, but when when when when when dogs are
trailing these deer, some of them trailing blood on blood,
but some of them are trailing the scent. Most of
them are trailing the scent. And so I cut the
foot off of a of a deer down hit with
this car and and I would just you know, I
trail I trained her for on that I got a
think of blood and would would drag that deer leg
(46:20):
and drop some blood and and trained her in my
backyard for for I don't know a few months, and
and that's kind of and then until deer season. Then
I started shooting doze and you know, nothing teaches them
like that and then put them in the field. But
that's a that's that was her training. And it was
no professional training at all or legit. It's just kind
of kind of what I felt she needed, and that's
(46:41):
what we did.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Any good deer recipes? Do you have a brief high
lot of what Reed's been doing. We've been doing. Read.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Oh, I'm making some mean jerky right now?
Speaker 2 (46:50):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (46:53):
I'm smoking it? Uh?
Speaker 1 (46:54):
We have a dehydrator and and usually the jerky I
made was dehydrated. But I love I've been looking on
my trigger like crazy lately, and I've I've just wondered
the other day, I was like, Man, I wonder and
I cleaned out a freezer and found a ton of
just jerky slices.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
We got the process or to cut a few years
back and wanted to do some jerky.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
I love good dear jerky, and so I looked up
a smoked recipe and I found a recipe online and
then it kind of added my.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
Little flare to it.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
And so it's well, instead of explaining it, we'll put
it in them in our social media or something.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
But I've been making some mean dear jerky.
Speaker 2 (47:28):

guitar and actually a deep cut, do some sort of music.
So talk about yours and I'll figure find.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
A deep cut that wasn't a single. I mean, I hope,
I mean, I hope stick to My Guns as a single.
You know, we'll see. But I love that song and
it hasn't been it hadn't been released yet, but but
it's probably it's probably Mine's probably uh beer band barstool man.
It's cool if you go into Luke's uh Bard and

the bottom floor, if you look to the right over

I wish you goad. I still had that paper play.
Speaker 2 (11:42):

If I'm gonna climb up there and get it out
and drive it offering this place.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
Now, Yeah, that made me. I can still see that
guy's face in my brain right now when he said that,
because it made me it. Because here's what I okay,
and I'm just gonna say this. I'm a big guy.
I'm a big thick guy. But dude, you take some
no doubt, that's what. I've got a sampound gal in
there that's got an hour and that is gullible that
(13:24):
believes that that. I mean, that is like a big
dude could like kind of vocal leap, manipulate, slash, push
you around.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
A little bit there, absolutely trying to manipulate you.
Speaker 2 (13:36):
And I was just like, bro, what did what dude?
Somebody needs to I'm checking you. And he was like, okay,
we'll get up and I was like yeah, immediately, bro,

the gether there, Oh somewhere it goes be a little.
Speaker 3 (14:01):
Little jet's fire me up right now.
Speaker 2 (14:12):
Oh dude, that's probably enough of it. We're good to

Speaker 2 (14:19):
I wish we could find a band play. I met
somebody's covered that for that. Look that up too.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
The first one is from Kevin ritter. He says, breaking
my rifle, breaking my rifle, holding arm, ending dear season
before I get my freezer field I've been.
Speaker 2 (15:44):
I'll be mad at that.
Speaker 3 (15:45):

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Listen for a girl man to break an arm.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
That's that's some heavy you got something.
Speaker 2 (15:52):
Something happened there, bro because there's force on that. I mean, honestly, nowadays,
I don't participate in things that I can break my
arm out or anything. Honestly.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
Well, I mean, I'm sure this guy wouldn't. I mean,
I mean he could have been. But like you can
break your arm by tripping outside. It's true there's something
falling off of But.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
What's the most what's direct? Okay, let me ask you this.
What's the last thing or what's the thing that comes
to mind that you didn't participate in because of the
possibility of a risk of you getting hurt? Uh?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
I'd have to think about it.
Speaker 2 (16:26):
I mean, like immediately, for me, somebody asked me to
play softball this past.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
Year and I was like, nope, oh no, not do
no way, dude, do it.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Last off of the game we played in we all
pulled our groin and snowboarding.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
I don't ask me to go skin or snowboard.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Not I'm gonna I'm gonna get back in the snowboarding.
I'm gonna say, our kids, but what it's fun?
Speaker 2 (16:46):
We're don't even we're close to a place that they
could snowboard regularly.
Speaker 3 (16:49):
No, I know, I'm saying one day.
Speaker 2 (16:51):
You already broke your arm doing it. Last time you
did it, you broke your elbow.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
I know I'm not gonna do it again.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Uh way can up at two am with no covers
like my wife wraps up in a cocoon and takes them.

What just sad?
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Okay, I'm sad at that.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
I'm sad that, dude. I'm sorry. Moved to Nashville a
week ago, and the weather and yuppie attire is more
like Seattle must be an East.
Speaker 1 (17:32):
National is getting getting tough. People asking for your fishing
spots people do people ask you for your Yeah, don't
give it on you know, I get or give it
to it. I mean there's another unless it's.
Speaker 2 (17:47):
Like it depends on who people are.
Speaker 1 (17:49):
I mean, yeah, there's Listen, if you give somebody a
fishing spot, I mean, they're not gonna catch every fish
in that spot. They're probably not even gonna go and
catch fish.
Speaker 2 (18:00):
We get hit up in our instagram about like public
landsc spot's a different thing. We get hit up in
our instagram about public lands spots a pretty good bit.
And and I always rode back. I think like one
guy was asking about uh, northwest Nashville, and I was like, dude,
I mean, cheat him right there. I got Steve Swat
all right, is right there be in the front.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
You're only down here.
Speaker 2 (18:21):
If you get far enough back in the back, you
can find some deer, you know. I mean like I
didn't say waypoint here, but I don't know any way points.
I just know that that place is deer, just like
you know it does if you can get it there.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
And get them.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
This is the best one. This one takes the cake.
This is from Dave Bratcher. This is great man the
gas and I would be mad I am mad at
this dude. The gas pump that has the part broken
off where you have to hold it the whole time
when it's cold.
Speaker 2 (18:48):
Dude, I like this guy. Man, that's annoying. I get that.
I feel that.
Speaker 1 (18:53):
I feel that anytime I roll up to a gas
station and you got to sit there and hold it.
It could be warm, it could be the best feeling
day in the world, but you got to sit there
and hold it instead of just.
Speaker 2 (19:04):
Up in second place? Was Andre shoot shoe man? My
truck alarm going off at my hunting spot again, I
could see that. Man. Yeah, pretty annoying.
Speaker 3 (19:16):
That's tough. Well, yeah, I keep sitting those in.
Speaker 2 (19:19):
We love it. I love Aaron for y'all. Man, it's
fun for me. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
And hey, if we if you write us and we
don't reply, it's because we don't. We don't live on
social media. I probably will never reply. But uh but Dan,
he gets on there sometimes and then you know.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
I did the thing the other day. I was in
the deer stand. I didn't have nothing going on. I
was like, man, deer season going to do people.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I saw some of those pictures were sitting like deer.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
They shot.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
That's great. Yeah, I love to hear from y'all. Speaking
of deer season. It's over well actually today right now,
the last hours of it going on right now, stays
(20:06):
on the stove. Yeah, man, it was a good one.
Little recap was a little recap. Started off in Kansas.
Dan killed a giant.
Speaker 2 (20:17):
It was a remarkable season.
Speaker 1 (20:19):
Came home, did some hunting, went back. I killed a giant?
Is that that? My dog was just scratching the door.
And then you killed a good deer five days later
in Tennessee.
Speaker 2 (20:31):
And then surprise, I killed a good deer two days ago.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
And then two days ago he caught up with a
a big old deer.
Speaker 2 (20:37):
Here's here's the thing I'd like to talk about.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Dad killed a good dear with dad killed a good
deer in between that?
Speaker 2 (20:44):
Is that that deer we scored him the other day? Yeah? Great,
seven point seven. You don't get the four mass measurements,
you know, you don't get three of them ones I forgot.
I didn't even think about that. We were taking something
gonna be a few benches. But shoot, man, I mean,
but you do that and and no time and you're
(21:04):
talking ten to twelve anyway, Nobody cares about this to
listen to this pretty.
Speaker 1 (21:08):
Much, dude, one time that and that's the thing that
kills you, right, is like no six points gonna score
or seven points. I mean if you kill a any
seven point one hundred and thirty inches or more, that's
a giant.
Speaker 2 (21:19):
I mean, if you added a time and a mass
measurement to this book, he's pushing one third straight up. Yeah.
And you know, we went back and looked at that
deer and we had we had pictures of him from
the year before where he was easy four and a
half five and a half years old last year.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
So I mean he's an old deer. Yeah, that's why
we shot it. That's why we hunted him. I think
it's I actually passed him earlier, but I shouldn't have.
Speaker 2 (21:41):
I think it's fun too to recognize, like a deer
that's older and say I'm hunting that deer period.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
To me, that's that's the that's the pinnacle of hunting
like that.
Speaker 3 (21:57):
That gets me fired up. The most gives me most
excited about going into.
Speaker 1 (22:00):
The woods is when you have deer on a list
and you call it a hit list or whatever you
want to you want to call it. Shooters, but you're
going in there after a deer. And that's and that's
another reason I think I passed that deer and me
and Dad were talking about this. I passed the deer
that Dan killed one of my first sits in Tennessee.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
And it's because.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I'm not good. I mean, I saw that deer right
and I videoed him, and I was like, man, he's
probably he might be four and a half, he might
be five and a half. I'm not sure, but it
was hard to tell for me, and I didn't have
a relationship with him. So like, it's gonna be real
tough for me that a deer has to be an
absolute monster for me to shoot it the first time
I ever see it, because I I want to know
(22:42):
a deer like I want to And not that I
didn't shoot that deer because I didn't know him, just
I wasn't sure how old he was. And then we
kept on getting pictures of him, and we kind of
we kind of created.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
This relationship with this seven point.
Speaker 1 (22:53):
We figured out that he we had pictures of him,
y yeah, and you go back and you find older
pictures where he's three four five, and so you know
that this deer is in the prime, you know, growth
and and kind of maturity of his life, and and
then you're like, Okay, yeah, let's shoot that deer. And
that's I mean, that's the reason I didn't pull the
trigger on that deer that first time.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
I should have.
Speaker 2 (23:11):
He's a great deer. Yeah, I mean looking at pictures
and seeing the video of him and really getting to
analyze how big he was prior to hunting him. He
was pretty No, I wouldn't say he was let's just
talk about how that hunt went down. So we were
getting random pictures of this deer at the end of
(23:32):
one of our food plots, and he just well you
would get we get, but he wasn't regular.
Speaker 1 (23:36):
He would consistently be regular for about three days, coming
from the same area, coming from where he was bed
and going to whatever food he was eating, and this
is his travel, this is his pattern, and he'd be
he'd do it for two or three days. You'd get
a picture of him in the morning coming back, and
get a picture of him in the afternoon leaving.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
And but I feel like there was a period there
where we got him real regular during when it was
rud Then there was like that weird post rut thing
when he's probably liked up with a dose. We didn't
see him very much, and then what we consider second route,
which is usually Christmas, is he turned back on. He
turned back on. We didn't have any time to go
hunt him, and uh, really though it's it's last ditch
(24:14):
effort on our part that we hunted him. After New
Year's we had two days to go with dad. Yeah,
and uh, the kids were healthy enough to give us
forty eight hours.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Well not really, but our wives were grateful enough, gracious enough, grateful,
grateful for us going.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
On, gracious enough. I'm grateful enough.
Speaker 2 (24:32):
Yeah, so they turned this loose for forty eight really
thirty six, I guess we hunted one afternoon We went
and had a terrible salad.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
For God, that sound don't see the place.
Speaker 2 (24:43):
No, it was bad.
Speaker 4 (24:45):
Man.
Speaker 2 (24:46):
Do you all feel like when you get a bad
meal at hunting camp it kind of like the trip.
Speaker 1 (24:51):
Yeah, but I think part of hunting campus is eating
and cooking and going and having good meals.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And it was freezing at night, and we've been in
the woods late. We were just let's just go get
something in salads and small towns always taste the same.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Two things go together like a salad, a bad salad
and a small No, you should put out.
Speaker 2 (25:10):
The country song sat in a small town. So anyway,
I want to make you.
Speaker 3 (25:18):
Smile a little, make Friel.
Speaker 4 (25:21):
Put too many cute come resented, the maters are wilted,
and the grass just I mean, and let us let
us just don't look?
Speaker 2 (25:33):
What's that sound bad?
Speaker 3 (25:36):
What's that taste? And sad.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Love? A bad salad and a small town man. That's
pretty good.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Come on, dude, somebody cut that.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Uh. And so we started getting them like once every
four days. He would roll through this into this food plot.
We just like, dang, there he is big seven, he's
a stud. What are we doing? That's the dear we
need to be hunting. That's obviously a five six seven
year old buck man. And and he's there occasionally, right, well,
what do we do? We started looking. I'm like, I'm going.
(26:09):
I remember I was like, I'm going today. It was
the day of New Year's I was like, I'm going.
Reads like I can't go, Dad's like I can't go,
and reads like dude, col Frint comes on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (26:20):
I was like, yeah, you're right, Onday or Wednesday.
Speaker 2 (26:23):
But it didn't it didn't get it anything.
Speaker 1 (26:25):
Thay, Yeah, so we rolled in So I talked to
you out of it, so I.
Speaker 2 (26:30):
Didn't I didn't spend my credit. I actually texted Shine
and I said, hey, cold front doesn't hit until a
couple of days. Would it be cool if I went later.
She was like, actually, I would prefer you to go
tomorrow instead of today. I was like sick, which, in
hindsight bought me that afternoon. Sure, because if I had
gone the day of I would to spend the night.
I would have come back Thursday and not even hundred
(26:52):
Friday instead of Thursday afternoon, slept on into the Friday morning.
It saw almost a deer pilot deer I saw holiday.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
I missed the same I took my boat.
Speaker 2 (27:04):
I took my boat.
Speaker 1 (27:05):
I took Maybell, trying to trying to put her on
the track, and uh, I missed. I missed the same
dough a lot of times. Yea with my bow and arrow,
I think my side was off. And and once I
missed her twice, I just kind of put it up,
think I don't want to I don't want to shoot
one in the leg or something.
Speaker 2 (27:21):
So we hunted Thursday, spent the night. I had a
bad sealing Friday morning. Nothing, No dear moved late. They
moved to late. Dad stayed later, and I saw some
dear those and then we and then we were really
contemplating going home and just being like, man, good season.
And I texted Shy and she was like, no, get
(27:41):
it out of your system, just do it. This is it.
You're done after this afternoon, come back that dark, you know.
So went sat in there. Dad was an hour and
a half late. At I got in the standard like
talk had three fifteen here it's four where there coming
(28:02):
down the draw. When I left the camp, Reed and
Dad were both sitting there basically contemplating whether or not
they were going to hunt. And so I was like, well,
I don't care if they're coming or not. I'm still going.
So I went got in the stand three point thirty eight.
Here Dad coming down the haller just one hundred and
fifty yards from my blind through the timber, and he
(28:25):
goes sits in his thing. We start texting, I got doze,
I got doz, I got bucks, I got whatever and all.
And I didn't have anything going on. I didn't see
any deer. I did see this, which was really interesting.
And I'm not lying. I had a bunch of turkeys
in the field and a spike came out and was
literally he came running out of the woods and kicked
(28:47):
the turkeys like they were beach balls. I promise, I promise,
mad at them. I'm like he was just like playing
with them, picking a fight with him or something. It
was crazy. That's the only day I saw until about
four point thirty, and then deer came out from everywhere,
and that's when that col front was really starting to
set in. Was that that night, yea, or right on
the front of it. Deer pile out into the wood,
(29:08):
out of the woods, into the food plot. I'm watching those.
I'm seeing probably a couple two and three year old
eight points bump. There was eighteen deer in the field
at one time. A spike comes out. Spichael Jackson comes out,
he's chasing all over, he runs them all out of
the field. Everything's gone because he's just so annoying. Everything's gone.
Then he runs off. Spice can do that. I'm right
(29:29):
last evening, I'm gonna break the blind down, get these chairs,
and I start literally pulling up the stakes.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
In the blind.
Speaker 2 (29:34):
There's like ten minutes left to shooting later five o'clock. Yeah,
and so I sit back down. And when I sit down,
one hundred and twenty yards in front of me is
the seventh He just steps Actually I didn't even see
him step out. I just see him standing in the
food plight one undred twenty yards looking at me. And
I said, oh snap, I could see the big split
on the left side. I get down on the gun.
(29:56):
When I say, a good book.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
Last last afternoon, here's the final chapter.
Speaker 2 (30:00):
And I my scope was so'sy and I have a
high powered scope. It was zoomed in, excuse me, to
the end of the field, and dude, I could not
find the deer in my scope, and it was getting
it was getting dark. I'm looking, I'm looking, I'm looking.
I look back over the scope. By this point he
is more than halfway across the food plot and not stopping.
So the deer's moving. Deer's moving, deer's moving. I'm trying
(30:21):
to get on him. I die my scope back, I
get back down on the sticks. I look down and
I find the deer just as he is about to
enter the timber like where I cannot shoot. It's like
a wall. He's just going to step into and so
I get my scope on the deer and in my head,
(30:42):
I'm like, that looks a little low. But in my finger,
I'm like, kakaya, pull trigger. And I think that comes.
I think that comes from years of being terrified that
I'm never going to see that deer again and just
kind of freaking myself out. And I immediately it was like,
you idiot, you messed that up. I pull the trigger.
(31:06):
The deer mule kicks and disappears into the timber. Right,
So I'm like, okay, what do I do? I walked
to where the shot was. I don't see blood. Immediately,
I come back down the road a little bit and
I hear a deer crashing. Right. So this is after
about fifteen minutes, so I've given the deer enough time
(31:28):
to where if it's vital, I feel like he's dead.
And so when I hear the deer crash, I immediately leave.
We leave, We wait an hour. We come back, and
we spread out and we walked through that timber and
we walked what forty yards and he's laying their stunk
on dead.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
Yeah, which is the right thing to do. We were
pretty confident that you heard the deer fall. But good
on you to back out.
Speaker 2 (31:47):
I think that it's important to talk about, like giving
how we decided to do what we did. Number One,
I went to find where the deer shot. I mean
where I shot the deer quickly, super quickly, but probably
between eight and ten minutes, in order to try to
find below before it got dark.
Speaker 1 (32:06):
I don't regret doing that. I backed out because I
heard something kind of suspicions. Yeah, I mean that's pretty quick.
It's pretty quick to go look at that. But the
reason is because we were losing light, you know. But
I mean there's also it's kind of like give him,
give him half an hour, right.
Speaker 2 (32:21):
You got forty yards from where I shot that deer
starts the thickest brier patch for what, dude, eight hundred
acres of just total.
Speaker 3 (32:30):
Yeah, but it don't matter.
Speaker 2 (32:31):
I know.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
I'm just saying you can't track a deer. You can
barely track a deer through that that stuff. Yeah, I mean, yeah, right,
but it doesn't matter. If the deer gets there, he's
you know, he's there. What I'm saying like the way
you track it, like the way you respond to shooting
a deer. That doesn't affect it is that there's the
thickest stuff in the world.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Is that what you're saying.
Speaker 2 (32:52):
I'm not sure what you're saying.
Speaker 3 (32:54):
Okay, just go keep it.
Speaker 2 (32:55):
So anyway, we back out, we go to the I
tell them everything that happened. And one of the key
things I think to think about is a deer is
not going to mule kick at the sound of a shot.
He's gonna mule kick at the at the act of
being hit. And if you see that you've hit that deer.
Speaker 3 (33:16):
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
Speaker 2 (33:17):
And I was a thousand for sure sense sure that
that happened. Because when that when it's all going down
and you're flustered, you're kind of nervous. What just happened?
Where did I see? Blah blah blah. A lot of
those details get mixed up and missed and kind of misconstrued. Honestly. Yeah,
but if you can latch onto the things you know happened.
I know I shot this deer within this vicinity, I
know he mule kicked. I know I heard something that
was not a deer getting up running off. Let's we
(33:40):
give him an hour and a half. We go back
and he's stone called dead land there.
Speaker 1 (33:43):
Yeah, I think in those in those scenarios where because
it listened. Most of the times, it doesn't happen like
you see it on TV or on YouTube. It's not
gonna the deer's not you're not going to see the
deer from two hundred yards away. You're not gonna have
time to prepare, put yourself in the perfect situation, especially
in the South, to shoot the deer. A lot of
times even even I mean in the Midwest, it happens fast.
(34:04):
You know, just those scenarios, those scenarios that you're watching
on TV are the perfect case scenarios, a lot of them,
and it doesn't work out like that. So instead of
just like reacting to the situation, which would have been
you shot the deer, you're like, oh man, I got
to get to him.
Speaker 2 (34:22):
You just go in.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
You don't find blood, you kind of freak out, You
kind of go in there a little bit, don't let him,
don't give him time to to I did, and jump
him into that stuff where you can't get to him.
Speaker 2 (34:35):
I walked to wear shot, there was no blood and
I got out.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, And I think that's the right thing to do,
is to because it doesn't matter right, The worst thing,
the worst possible thing you can do as a deer
hunter after shooting a deer is push a deer. And
especially if you if you've got hard tracking with if
it's a cutover or a thicket or water or whatever like,
you don't want to push that deer across property line
(35:00):
anything any of that and it hurt. Deer is gonna
lay down and try to try to heal and and
most of the time that's where you'll find them. But
the best thing to do is back out and let
happen what's gonna happen, and reassess what happened. And like
we were talking about, we met up at the trucks
and you told we sat there and you were telling
us and you're like, I saw a mulk kick and
(35:20):
and yeah, miss deer, don't milk kick. So assess the
situation than than than going there and find the deer.
But yeah, he's a great deer. And I thought kind
of I found it. I think you shot that deer
because we hadn't had a deer. I picture that deer
in about a week, right two days. I think you shot.
(35:41):
I think you were sitting there on his trail the
first time he was coming back into his pattern.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
I think that deer. And it's interesting because because.
Speaker 1 (35:52):
Every deer like watching them on trail cameras and hunting
this year that the deer I hunted was either hunting
them on on the return of that like.
Speaker 3 (36:02):
And here's what I mean by return. When it's when.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
It's rut, when it's post rut, what they're gonna do
is they're gonna breed that first dough they come into
that's that's hot. They're gonna stick with it. They're gonna
bed down with it, and they're gonna be locked down
with it, and then they're gonna breed it, and then
they're gonna gon gonna go try to find another one.
When they leave that dough off lockdown, that puts them
in this pattern of they're gonna they're gonna stay in
there their core area and run that pattern a few days,
(36:28):
and then they're going to take a little trip if
there if there's no hot doughs in their core area,
they're gonna take a little journey, an excursion is what
they call it. And they're gonna they're gonna make a
loop and it's not gonna be a random loop. It's
going to be a consistent loop of maybe off your property.
Maybe you've got big enough property that they're gonna stay
on it, but they're not gonna be back in their
core area for a few days because they're gonna go
(36:49):
try to find a hot dough. And every big deer
I hunted this year that the two that I killed,
one of Kansas won in Tennessee. I killed one of
the Kansas when he was making his journey back. Uh
when he was actually when he was I think he
had just left his core area and he was coming.
He was making his two or three day little little
stamp and U uh got him. And then the one
(37:10):
in Tennessee, I think I caught him coming back into
his his core area. I think he'd been gone for
a few days and then he found a hot dough
in the core area and was was was following her
and making scrapes and and shot him on that. But
that's a late season, man, That's a great tactic because
because here's here's the deal, Like even in Tennessee, you're
gonna see deer. We had a buddy tell Us of
the day that on February second, he saw a deer
(37:31):
breeding another deer, and as long as there's doughs that
haven't come into heat and a lot of those young
ones having and yearlingks having and the ones that hadn't
got bred haven't, they're not They're going to continue to
come into heat for for a while until those bucks
are gonna be Those bucks are gonna be on them.
And so it could be February and they could they
could be a fourth or fifth rut. It just if
there's a hot dough in the area that the bucks
(37:53):
are gonna be rutting. And so late season, man, it's
it's a it's a great and we kind of never
feel we didn't figure that out really till you know,
we've we've finded really hard late season for the past
five ten years. But like early on, I don't feel
like we hunted very hard late season just because you
think I want to hunt post rut or pre rut
rut post rut.
Speaker 3 (38:11):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (38:13):
Late seasons a great time to I mean, they're all
run down, they're hungry when they're in their quarreya and
they're eating, they're gonna be eating heavy.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
If you have food, which is what we had staying
with in that food plight, I mean, yeah, you got
to have everything. It helps. That helps. I mean, we
don't even start planting our foodlines most time till September
because we know there will be effective in uh December
and January. I mean we don't. We don't start them
in the spring like most people do.
Speaker 3 (38:37):
But yeah, that was that was awesome. That gives you
a little update on our the latest stuff.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Yeah, I'll post a picture. I adn't posted yet, but
I will.
Speaker 1 (38:43):
But man, getting it off of that now. Deer season's over. Depression,
it's a real thing.
Speaker 2 (38:49):
Speaking of dear pression, I haven't I have a a.
Speaker 1 (38:52):
Uh call, call our DM hotline if you have depression,
if you need some help. Yeah, we could get some ways.
We got some ways to do crop a fishing, yeah, absolutely,
or start scouting again, get in the woods, move stands.
Speaker 2 (39:05):
Saw a buddy of mine. This is you don't know
about this, but a buddy of mine. Keep it quick.
You've told me a giant deer jihnt deer.
Speaker 1 (39:15):
Actually, I mean I'm talking about like for years, like
the past two or three years.
Speaker 2 (39:20):
He texted me just a picture and it was a
guy with a flatbar behind the deer had been living
on his property. That's tough, and he had videos of
it and like had actually missed the deer in the
year prior, but I felt sorry for him.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
I'll put you in pressure in the middle of the sea.
Speaker 2 (39:43):
Well, they're at the count of the Italian too. I
don't know. I don't have an idea on that yet.
But here's the thing. Here's the thing he asked me.
He said, Hey, man, I gotta know what to do.
He said, I feel like somebody just shot my dogs
going through it. He said, I just want to sell
the place. Be done. He's like, I don't have an
another deer to hunt. How do you get back on
the horse when the deer that you've been hunting for
(40:05):
years ends up in a picture behind a dude with
a flat bill. That's a good question, I thought so too.
It's a good question. Was a podcast worthy honestly, because
it's like he even said, I had had visions of
me shooting this deer and it being so big that
y'all called and interviewed me on y'all's podcast. Who's the
(40:27):
guy that killed it? We can call him and oh,
I'm sorry, would that be? But wait, he's gonna listen
to that I know. I know.
Speaker 5 (40:36):
First off, sorry that happened to you, buddy. Yeah, that
is part of it. Yeah, that is part of it.
That's part of it. It's it's never happened to us.
But I guarantee you there's plenty of people.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
Trying to think, has it ever happened to us?
Speaker 1 (40:50):
I've had three year olds that I was passing get shot,
sure that, but not like but not like the six.
Speaker 2 (40:57):
Point had gotten shot by somebody flat.
Speaker 1 (40:59):
Beilt drove to your house and he's in the What
if he's in the back of somebody else's truck in
your driveway and they're like, yeah, I got this.
Speaker 3 (41:13):
I would say, Okay, you can. There's there's a few
options to get over that.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Right, you say, I'll say how I answered it. After
you say you would answer, I would.
Speaker 1 (41:21):
Say the only way to get back on the horse
is to get back on the horse and and make
it a dose season, make it like fill in the freezer, dude.
And and I'm just saying, like I'm just saying, I'm
just saying no, I mean, bucks gets you up, but
I'm saying, pull the trigger on something.
Speaker 2 (41:34):
He said the deer on one seventy one and.
Speaker 1 (41:37):
You're gonna shoot dose that's in an area that ain't No, Yeah,
I'm gonna go shoot dose. I mean, what are you
gonna're gonna stop hunting? Yes, okay, well then that's gonna
put you even farther into the depression that you're I.
Speaker 2 (41:49):
Said, honestly, bro to'd be straight up honestly, and I
tried to, like really process. I think I would just go,
I'm kind of done with you, and I would go,
I would.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
You'll be miserable to be around.
Speaker 2 (42:03):
Keep running cameras. You're gonna keep running cameras.
Speaker 3 (42:05):
Yeah, but you want to go hunt? Man, go hunt?
What go shoot dose? Go just go get back in
the in the mindset of hunting.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
If you've got a week and a half left and
your giant deer just got killed, you're telling them I
gonna go shoot does a week and a half. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway,
I told him what I would do. What I would do,
which is the truth. I'm telling the truth. If I
knew my dear was gone, that I have been hunting,
is there a chance of something else walking through? There's
always a course, But dude, let's be for real. I say, No,
(42:36):
one seem to want to run around other where he's
out outside of that.
Speaker 1 (42:38):
Also, I was going to say, just go, you know,
go try to find some more land of hunt and
get it off your mind completely, try to try to
see something new.
Speaker 2 (42:46):
He did see me a picture from the back. He
was back in the tree.
Speaker 3 (42:50):
Good for him, Good for him.
Speaker 2 (42:51):
Sorry, but that happened to you anyway, curious about curious
about how y'all feel about that?
Speaker 1 (42:55):
Yeah, uh yeah, how about you all? Y'all dms what
you would do in that situation. You're right right, that's
what you were doing.
Speaker 2 (43:01):
I'm sure happened to other people.
Speaker 3 (43:03):
Oh dude, there ain't no doubt it just hadn't. Plenty
of stories.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
Specifically happened to me. I said that to him, to us,
I had this is this situation is not exactly happened
to me.
Speaker 3 (43:11):
Yeah, uh, let's get us some fan questions. What did
y'all do?
Speaker 1 (43:17):
And we're gonna do these types of podcasts throughout the
season two, like just kind of hop on here. There's
no video, it's not like a legit official no guest
I think y'all are kind of responding to these the
same way as you are. Guest ones that we were
interviewing somebody. I think you, I think you enjoy these.
We enjoy doing them.
Speaker 3 (43:33):
So we're gonna do this throughout the year periodically and
just kind of answer some some submitted stuff that that
y'all have have sent us.
Speaker 1 (43:41):
So keep on sence sentences sending us those ciz Centacen
and Centacen and.
Speaker 2 (43:45):
Rhythm Cinnamon buons Cinnamon.
Speaker 1 (43:51):
First fan question, what did y'all do to train? Maybe
I'll a trail deer that's you. I did it. I
looked up a bunch of YouTube that's gonna be real loud. Dude,
you are the worst and your combat boots. Man, I
just I watched a bunch of YouTube Oh my goodness,
I watched a bunch of YouTube videos.
Speaker 3 (44:10):
I listened to a bunch of podcasts.
Speaker 1 (44:13):
We found Maybell and I'd always wanted a hunting dog
and she's turned you know, she still is a hunt dog.
Speaker 3 (44:18):
She trailed Dan's buck the other night.
Speaker 2 (44:20):
Oh yeah, it's fun. We do you even talk about it?
Speaker 3 (44:22):
No, because you were so selfish about your deer, But.
Speaker 1 (44:26):
You know, I always wanted to experience that and kind
of kind of see hunting through through a dog perspective,
and and man, it's been it's been awesome. She's, you know,
six years old now, and she's trailed up a bunch
of deer. She didn't do it a whole lot anymore.
You think she's six years old, she's six or seven.
Speaker 2 (44:40):
She's older than that. But go ahead, No, she's not.
Speaker 3 (44:42):
She was born twenty eighteen.
Speaker 2 (44:44):
Okay, she's seven years old.
Speaker 1 (44:48):
Yeah, twenty eighteen, twenty twenty, No, so twenty twenty five,
she'll be.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Seven, sure, buddy, whatever you think.
Speaker 3 (44:54):
Okay, May of twenty eighteen, Bro, what is that?
Speaker 2 (44:57):
We go go?
Speaker 1 (44:58):
Are you how old does that make her? Nobody wants
to hear this, dude, because you're wrong, and she's I
know this is a sort of subject. I don't want
my dog to be old either, But she's already she.
Speaker 3 (45:06):
Was born than twenty eighteen. Y're an idiot.
Speaker 1 (45:08):
But anyway, I actually Dan hit a deer before season,
uh in twenty eighteen or twenty nineteen, and uh she
was she was like it was twenty eighteen because she
was ten months old when I started or ten weeks
old when I started training her, and and Dan.
Speaker 3 (45:25):
Hit a deer. I went and found it. I cut
the hoods off of it.
Speaker 1 (45:29):
Deer when they get injured or hit or you know,
have a shock to them, they put out a they've
got what's it called, they've got something what is it
called something on the bottom of their feet that extracts
a like a scent track, that like a gland on
the bottom of their foot that puts out emits that
(45:51):
emits a.
Speaker 3 (45:54):
Scent. And so you.
Speaker 2 (45:56):
Actually try to stress right something like that.
Speaker 1 (45:58):
Yeah, probably, but when when when when when dogs are
trailing these deer, some of them trailing blood on blood,
but some of them are trailing the scent. Most of
them are trailing the scent. And so I cut the
foot off of a of a deer down hit with
this car and and I would just you know, I
trail I trained her for on that I got a
think of blood and would would drag that deer leg
(46:20):
and drop some blood and and trained her in my
backyard for for I don't know a few months, and
and that's kind of and then until deer season. Then
I started shooting doze and you know, nothing teaches them
like that and then put them in the field. But
that's a that's that was her training. And it was
no professional training at all or legit. It's just kind
of kind of what I felt she needed, and that's
(46:41):
what we did.
Speaker 2 (46:42):
Any good deer recipes? Do you have a brief high
lot of what Reed's been doing. We've been doing. Read.
Speaker 3 (46:48):
Oh, I'm making some mean jerky right now?
Speaker 2 (46:50):
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (46:53):
I'm smoking it? Uh?
Speaker 1 (46:54):
We have a dehydrator and and usually the jerky I
made was dehydrated. But I love I've been looking on
my trigger like crazy lately, and I've I've just wondered
the other day, I was like, Man, I wonder and
I cleaned out a freezer and found a ton of
just jerky slices.
Speaker 3 (47:07):
We got the process or to cut a few years
back and wanted to do some jerky.
Speaker 1 (47:11):
I love good dear jerky, and so I looked up
a smoked recipe and I found a recipe online and
then it kind of added my.
Speaker 3 (47:18):
Little flare to it.
Speaker 1 (47:20):
And so it's well, instead of explaining it, we'll put
it in them in our social media or something.
Speaker 3 (47:26):
But I've been making some mean dear jerky.
Speaker 2 (47:28):
What states are you all turkey hunting this year? Mm hmm, Kansas, Tennessee, Mississippi,
probably Kentucky, probably Kentucky. As many as our wives will allow.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
Yeah, so probably tennessee. Uh, what is your favorite song
that's been cut that wasn't a single on the radio.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
This is probably a time for us to get a
guitar and actually a deep cut, do some sort of music.
So talk about yours and I'll figure find.
Speaker 1 (47:57):
A deep cut that wasn't a single. I mean, I hope,
I mean, I hope stick to My Guns as a single.
You know, we'll see. But I love that song and
it hasn't been it hadn't been released yet, but but
it's probably it's probably Mine's probably uh beer band barstool man.
It's cool if you go into Luke's uh Bard and
