Speaker 1 (00:04):
Smell us Now, lady, Welcome to Meet Eater Trivia mea podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Welcome to Meet Eater Radio Live. We're coming to you
from med Eater hqan Bozeman, Montana. We're not live today.
What yeah, No, this is for June eighteenth, nineteenth nineteenth.
This is June nineteenth. If you're listening to me now,
it's federal holiday Juneteenth, and we are recognizing that here
(00:50):
by not being here. So this is a pre recorded
episode and on today's episode, we've got a great one
for you. We're here to answer your questions from how
to handle conversations with poachers? Are we two unique ways
to prepare bear meat? This entire show is Q and
A and it is June nineteenth today, So we are
(01:14):
in the thick of things. Summer speaking, boys, have any
fun summer plans?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh man, I.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Stumbled through that intro. I don't think this is off
to a good start.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think you did great.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Oh yeah, I wrote this script. But you crushed that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Pound some more of that beer. Lub it up, Randall,
mubercate the wheels. Uh, what are you doing, Corey Man? Camping?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Been doing some camping. It's been a hot summer already.
I feel like winter kind of really. Yeah, it feels
like all of a sudden, it's just been.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Hot, like it feels like it's July out.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
And it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's June nineteenth, yes, but it's actually is June ninth, June.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Ninth that we're recording this, and it's just it's just
hotter than it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Already was out taken.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
It was up near our state capital over the weekend
and it was really smoky. I think it's fires coming
down to Canada, but it's like it's just coming on
a little too early. I feel like spring held on
pretty well, but then it's like we need some snow still.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The smoke rolled in and dramatically.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Waters in western Montana are drying up, the rivers are
drying up.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Reservoirs are not going to fill up this year.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's not looking good.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So you're telling me you're not going to fish much
this summer.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I'm going to fish now, and comes summer, I'm going
to be shooting rocks from a slingshot at carp or
something else, not catching trout, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh yeah, maybe going to the reservoirs and practicing your
spear fishing on some carp in the water bow fishing.
Maybe that'd be cool.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, I get your Montana trout fishing now, because it
feels like it's going to be a hoot owl later.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
What does hoodowl mean, Corey.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Well, that's just the term that they've coined when rivers
a little too warm, if it's above seventy two degrees
for a few days in a row, they'll shut the
fishing down, mostly in the afternoons.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Usually it's around two PM.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Or whenever the water gets hot. But really you just
need to have a thermometer in the water and use
your head. If it gets honestly towards seventy you should
put your fly fishing gear or any of your fishing
gear down and go do something else.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Get up a little earlier and fish early.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
In the mornings.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
But we will see that here sooner than later, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So you shouldn't need a fish on owl hours, right.
I don't understand they're only protecting a bunch of non natives.
I can understand if they're killing a bunch of cutthroats,
but there's, yeah, a bunch of rainbows and browns in there.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, what point in evolution is something native and not
and non native. Still, like if a rainbow is born
in a river, obviously it's not from that area. But
at what point, like does it take thousands of years,
hundreds of thousands of years? At what point is an
animal native to landscape?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You can ask that same Ques question about humans. Yeah,
we were just up in Manitoba, you know, on that
bear hunt and different parts of that country Canada, not
Manitoba the province. But you know, they depending on which
province you're in, they really respect They call them the
first nations, right, which we don't really use that term
down here. I started thinking a lot about that. I'm like, well,
(04:21):
they were first, but who was before them?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And no one?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Maybe no one?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Do we know.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
All the evidence maybe is buried under the sand.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Like does their history go back that far where they're like,
oh no, like my ancestors came across the Lambridge or
my ancestors came down the coast and then migrated.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean I think so there's really no other way
they you could have ended up indigenous without having some
lineage that goes back to that, right.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well, I just don't think we know all the details yet,
do you you do way more reading about this than
I do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean, I we're getting into we're getting in some
pretty heady territory.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Here goes oh we are. This is not where you
want to go with this.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
No, no, I.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We're supposed to just be talking about what we're doing this.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
What's the meaning of life?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You're honest.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I heard you're running a race this summer. Speaking of
being hot this summer. I ran a race a couple
of days ago last week. If you're listening to this,
on June nineteenth in Poketeo, Idaho called the Scout Mountain
Ultra ran the fifty miles distance, which actually in Scout
(05:45):
Mountain is at Scout Mountains fifty five. For the first
time ever, I used a handkerchief that or a bandana
that was sewn shut and it almost it had like
a sleeve on the long edge and the ends were
open like where you would tie it went around your
neck and you stuff ice in there and then you
tie around your neck. Game changer.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And so you did do this this past weekend. It's
not coming up next weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I Already level of detail convinced.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Me, yes, yeah, game changer. And obviously it started with
just a regular bandana. Somebody decided to put some ice
in a bandana, and they've evolved. But I bet I
would have run at least thirty minutes, maybe sixty minutes longer,
and been way more affected by the heat had I
not had this ice bandana.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You were able to find some ice to fill it
up throughout the race.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So yeah, most of these ultras, I would say all
of them honestly have eight stations, and they're The longest
distance that we went between eight stations was just over
ten miles. But most of the time they try to
set them at like five to seven. Five sometimes can
seem short because you're barely getting through what you've replenished
(07:01):
before you need more. Ten felt a little bit long,
especially Saturday, because I was like, I drained all my
liquids and everything. But anyways, they know it's going to
be hot. They had ice at every single aid station,
lots of different like energy and chloric drinks, like the
(07:23):
you know, Gatorade type stuff, tailwind Goo type stuff. But
then also they'll just have little cups of coke gingeril.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, but I don't understand why I'm always I would
rather drink flat coke because then I don't have the
carbonation bouncing in my belly. But nobody at this race
was They were like, oh, we thought you'd like carbonation
because it settles your stomach, you know how like when
you're a kid and you sat your mom gets a
little seven up ginger trail.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, saltine crackers.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, but yeah. So I ran the fifty five in
preparation for the Crazy Mountain one hundred, which is at
the end of July.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That'll be hot.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It could be could be cold too, whether in the
crazies at the end of July, never know, don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
July fourth last year were up there and getting snowed on.
You were up there, see what a little hike.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Odds are it'll be warm on the warmer side of
things than colder, but you never know. I'll be prepared
for that. If it's colder, it'll be much easier running.
What else I want to tell you about my recent race.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I see you here. Two emergency poops, Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yes, But it was a bad way to start the race.
Within the first ten miles, I had two of those.
But between those two emergency poops, I had three falls
and at forty seven years of age, my falls are
not getting any easier. I used to kind of like skid,
(08:56):
roll flip and just like be right back on my
feet and trudge all going like oh what was that,
you know, and kind of take a couple of deep breasts,
make sure the ribs and lungs were okay. Now I
like skid and pretty much come to a slt on
the ground and then lift my face off the dirt
and I'm like, oh, and then I you know, slowly
(09:17):
like a big buck getting up out of his bed,
you know, get up and stretch and you know, then
check and make sure everything's still working, and then proceed
down the trail. I don't know if it was I
was wearing some new shoes. I didn't have too many
miles in yet. The trail was like mountain bike single track,
so it had a little bit of that like v
(09:37):
to it got a belly, yeah, and I had like
like that groove, you know what I'm talking about. And
I don't know if that was getting to me because
I talked to some other folks that actually fell in
that same section too. But yeah, I've made it most
of my life not needing to poop while I'm running,
and those days are behind me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Are all poops while you're running, emergency poops.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I think if I would have been able to, I
knew I had an AID station coming up, and I'm
kind of watching all my watch. I know what mileage
it's at, I know how many miles I have to go,
And if I could just make it to the aid station,
and even if I was, you know, sprinting in there
to go have a bowet movement, I would say, Oh,
it wasn't really an emergency. I had to poop. Yeah,
(10:22):
but these these are like, oh, no, you're getting off
the trail now and you're gonna poop. Talking to more
ultra marathon runners, they're like, oh, if you don't have
some of those along with losing some toenails, fighting some nausea,
you didn't really experience an ultra marathon, Well, I would guess,
(10:43):
like one hundred miles.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
How long is that going to take you?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The goal is to do it under thirty miles thirty sorry,
thirty hours. Yeah, that's a few poops yo for sure. Well,
depending because I think if you're.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Traveling, well, sometimes you can go two days.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I have that curse where when I start a new hunt.
I don't poop for three or four days.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Phil, What about you start a new video game? Are
things moving correctly or Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I mean I keep a bucket behind the couch just.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
There you go. Oh yeah, yeah, boy.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's the hell of a hobby. Yeah real, picked a doozy.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, picked a doozy. But it's you know, we we
went to bed having this conversation, like why are we
doing this? Like in our group, someone said, yeah, my literally,
my my bunghole is like warn raw and fucking on fire.
Sorry for the F bomb, And uh, that's no fun.
(11:43):
Like we're talking about between the three of us, how
many toenails we're gonna lose. Everybody's hobbling around, looks like
you can barely walk. And why why have we chosen this?
Because I used to run just to be in shape
for elk clunting, yeah right, just to be able to
chase the bowl up the mountain. And now it's become
a little bit more of a love for the run itself.
(12:03):
But and so we went to bed with questions and
I woke up and I said, you know, it's because,
uh it makes you feel alive. I think that's a
that's there's no simpler answer than that.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah. Yeah, you guys have any other questions, I can
tell you about my toenails. I can tell you about how.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
To lose some. I almost lost a tonail during hunting season.
I put a toe warmer in my boot and then
it flipped around and got on top of my toe.
But I didn't want to take it out. Time out.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It was under your feet.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, what they go on top of your foot?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
No, they don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Good, Yeah, top of your toes. Try it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You're walking around with it.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I know that what you're saying works, but the directions
I never read.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
The direction was the opposite.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, but you certainly feel the heat touching you.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
This is new.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I got this bad boy wrapped up around my big
toe and uh ouch, that toenail is still filled up
with blood.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Let's ask the let's ask the live chat. Do you
guys go toe warmers on top or underneath your toes?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Let's ask cal.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We'll wait for you guys to get back Phil.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What do we have?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Oh yeah, it's a fifty to fifty split crazy. Let's
settle nothing. I'm sorry on.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
It's eleven fifteen on a Monday.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So it got in there. You still just hiked your
tail off and that little tonail pounded against that toe
warmer and that was the end of it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah. Yeah, by the end of the day, I was
limping pretty good, but I just never wanted to take
my boot off. It was real cold.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Then do you lost it completely?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
No? No, it just sort of died and I've kind
of trimmed it back to the quick never lifted off,
never lifted off, but it was no longer attached. It
was just kind of floating. So yeah, it's been a
weird one. It's still pretty ugly at this point. So
I'm wearing socks with crocs today. Hey, so you can't
get a peak fashion statement.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know what my kids say these days, you're a
dork if you go the opposite, which is what I do.
I don't like wearing socks with my crocs, but the
kids are like, no, that's the only way to wear
crocs at So you're in, You're good.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Do you think by looking at my toes you could
tell me if I'm gonna lose the toenail or not.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh, break them out.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Now, I'd have to get in there and wigle them
like a tooth.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, they're not loose yet by any means. They just
there's just a coloration to them. It's different from my
other toenails, and I think I still might be able
to keep them. But everybody looks at them as like, no,
they're gone, You're done. Is this your big toe? It
was both my big toes, and then two of the
little ones on their right foot. They're both looking at purply.
(14:50):
What I'm hoping is that if I'm gonna lose them,
I'm gonna lose them before I have to run a
hundred miles. Because if I just don't have toenails there,
life will be easy peasy. But if I have like loose,
messed up, partially attached, painful toenails, could.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Suck put a little dental floss on him and tied
it to a door knob.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Oh, let's go.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah? Did I tell you guys about the fellow that
I line hunted with one day. He's a buddy of Pete's.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Actually, you have his tonails removed ed?
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Has it?
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Toails removed for the sole purpose of sheep hunting.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Really?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, had him removed completely?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, he said he thought he was a tough guy,
and the doctors like, uh, yeah, we can like maybe
do like two because he was just gonna go in
and be like take him, take ten please, let's get
this done. And the doc's like, now, we'll do too,
and we'll see how it goes. And afterwards he's like, oh,
thank god, because yeah, I guess when you get your
(15:49):
toenails removed, it's not fun.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But then he went back there five more times. Yeah, huh, yeah,
it's hardcore.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, no, he's into it, love it all right, Well,
let's move on from my running. I'll let you boys
know how it goes when I'm done with one hundred Randa.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What do you got going on this summer?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Are we doing? Yeah? I guess. Well it's now June nineteenth,
coming up shortly here. I'm heading across the pond for
a little tour of beer and brought fursts. Oh lovely Deutschland,
Deutschland ostrak. Ah, that's Austria, and I'm just gonna drink
(16:33):
a lot of beer and eat a lot of pretzels
and do a lot of sampling of local tube meats.
That sounds a little bit of walking Hey, it's a
tenth anniversary trip.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh yeah, good. Call is not far away. You could
take probably get one hundred dollars flight. Then call me
when you're over there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Are you going to be there?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I won't be, but you know, just calling call me
back here and say, hey, I made it. If you
were going to.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Be there, I'd extend my trip and make it up
there so you could look for some dog raccoons or
whatever they are.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh, I can make that happen, buddy. I could make
a little raccoon dog trip happen for you. Well, that's awesome.
That sounds like a grip.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And then we're coming back and sort of immediately recording
the next Media or American History audiobook, which is no
small source of anxiety. It's gonna be great, but there's
a lot of work to do. And then in August,
you know, it just depends on how smoky everything is.
I'm going to an event in Ikalaca, the Dino shin
(17:39):
Dig that looks at the Carter County Museum. We're going
to go out and dig some dinosaur bones, listen to
some dinosaur research. So yeah, pretty big summer ahead of me, guys,
Pretty big summer.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Is Spencer New York going with you to the Dino Shin?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No, he's not. Tickets are limited so and and to
go out on the field expedition is couple hundred bucks.
So I didn't buy Spencer ticket. Long story short, but yeah,
I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
But you think he'd love that?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, I think he wants to go, but you know,
he's more of just a.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Solid rock guy.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I think when is this It's like July.

It's late July.
Speaker 1 (18:18):

Speaker 1 (18:24):
Phil. What about you?
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Oh, thanks for asking, Corey. I don't have a whole
lot going on going to the Black Hills with the family.
It's our our short, little, short, little family vac this year.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
That's pretty much all I've got planned.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You know, go see Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
We are The kids are excited. Yeah, yeah, they're they're
they're stoke. So yeah, it'll be a it'll be a
fun time.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
How did you get them fired up on Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
They just like the idea of Mount Rushmore. I'm sure
they'll be completely deflated once we actually get there and
they see how far away it is and how far
we had to drive to get there, but for the
time being, they're stoked, and that's I'm just gonna hold
on to that as long as I can.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, think about swinging by Devil's Tower, which is kind
of out of the way, but.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
I have them thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's yeah, yeah, cam right underneath it.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And then there's uh Teddy Roosevelt National Park too.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Maybe in north Yeah, there's the bad Lands.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, Badlands National Park is all right, and just the
Black Hills State Park is worth the drive. They have
a wild ass highway that goes round and round and
it kind of frames you go through these tunnels built
into the rock that frames Mount Rushmore quite nicely. Yeah,
it's very thoughtfully done.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, we're actually gonna be staying in the in the
bad Lands, so lovely.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Deadwood is the trip to stop too.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Oh you don't have to tell me. I've already got plants.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's a poker, Phil, what's the chat saying?
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Oh, it's crazy. Even though we're pre recording this episodere
is here. I don't know how we found out. Hell yeah,
shouts greetings. Thanks for the show. You guys are awesome. Mogor,
thanks for be in here. It's always go to.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Hear nineteenth and Hungary. Should we move on to some questions?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, god, let's do it. Well, that are comments. I
don't know which one you want to do first? Or
we can split. We can do a little bit of
one and then bounce back and forth.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
We can bounce back and forth a little bit now here.
Let's begin with this question from Michael m. Michael em writes,
I've recently been gifted two shotguns by my father in law,
who is handicapped and can no longer hunt. Inspired by
this gesture and eager to connect with nature, I am
determined to embark on my hunting journey. However, as a newcomer,
(20:36):
I find the most daunting challenge is locating accessible land
to hunt on. I would greatly appreciate any advice or
resources you could share on how to find hunting land
in general. Additionally, if there are any local programs, public lands,
or community initiatives that facilitate land access for new hunters,
I would be eager to learn more.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Great question, who wants to start here? Be honest, Well,
it's almost as if this question was sent in under
a pseudonym.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
No, this is a genuine email.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I know, but I'm asking if pseudonym is the right term.
I'm using like a fake name.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But that is that is the real name.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I know if my vocabulary is correct.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, pseudonym is.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
A thank you. Yeah, as if someone from on x.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Oh oh, I see I see.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Under a pseudonym of Michael.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
M I thought you're accusing Corey of making up this
question like.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Some of the other ones. No, get out of here,
but Michael, it's very easy. Get yourself a smartphone, download
yourself some ONYX, find yourself on that map, and then
turn on the layer of public lands and it will
(21:56):
literally light up on your map of all the available
public lands. And then usually you can click on said
lands and find out more information about it and maybe
even what you can can't hunt there, and then there's
usually links to hunting regulations and so on and so forth.
That would be my one piece of advice. I don't
(22:20):
know about any initiatives that facilitate land access for new hunters,
but I would say that you could go to Sharing
the Land that our buddy Doug Duran runs and see
if they might have some stuff going on, which is
basically a cooperative where they find willing landowners that want
(22:44):
to give some access. They set them up with people
like you that are looking to hunt and willing to
do a little bit of work to get access to
that land. And it's a great program. So there's stuff
like that out there. If that still doesn't work, send
some letters, go door knocking.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I would add to that, get involved in like your
local BHA chapter. Talk to make some friends who are
in the same boat. And then also reach out to
your local or your state Fish and Game office because
those most of those agencies have access programs, whether it's
(23:25):
like you know, the public lands that they manage directly
or private lands that they help administer public access too,
and oftentimes they have like staffers who are specifically working
on access issues. So it's their job and that's what
they want to do, is connect people with places to hunt.
So don't be afraid to reach out to Fish and
(23:46):
Game and see what they have going on.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth.
I was also thinking, you have a local sporting good store,
go check out the bulletin board down there and see
if there's any group get together is or some sort
of event that you can.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, fundraisers, things like that ye.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Try mingling any local banquets unlimited.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I know, at least in some states there are organizations
where you can go do boots on the ground conservation work,
like outside of BHA. You know, there's like organizations that
are doing local projects. If you have like a you know,
like a local sportsman's group that's helping pull fans or
whatever else, go get involved in that stuff. And people
(24:27):
are more likely to extend an invite to you if
they see that you're invested in it and out there
in the world doing good work.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, and there's a very good chance that the work
you'll be doing will be on land that you can
go hunt. Yeah, all right, if we knew what state
Michael m was in. But oh well, let's go on
to how do you pronounce this next one?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Randall uh jabron t h. I think this is a
pseudonym for Corey Jabron Jabron Jabron writes, I'll be hunting Archie,
Elk and Idaho the first time this fall. What should
I be doing to prepare as an ELK caller in
the off season? And to answer this question, here's mister
(25:08):
Jason Phelps. One of the most.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Asked questions we get this time of the years. What
should I be doing as a caller in the off
season to improve my chances for success come September. My
short answer is always you just need to have the
confidence to be able to call in September. One of
those biggest hurdles is you're out there, you're interacting with elk,
you're on the elk, and you're just afraid to call. Yeah,
(25:32):
there are a lot of situations where maybe calling is
not the best answer, the best solution to to find success.
But there are a lot of situations we're calling will
bring that bowl into the archery range and be the
thing that does matter. So how do you build that confidence?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
It's practicing right now in the off season.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
Now, I'm not going to get into like making perfect
cal cals. How you make those?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
That's difficult.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
We got YouTube videos for that, you know, go search
those up. But I relate this a lot to playing basketball.
The game is where you get to show off how
good you are. Practice is what makes you and builds
how good you are. It's the same thing with archero
cutting and calling. We don't get enough reps out in
the field during September to become good. You need to
(26:12):
do that in the off season, you need to have
enough practice that you're confident when you go to blow
a call, you know exactly how that call is going
to react. You know exactly how to repeat the call
that you want. You know how to make this sound
a calmew and estris, wine, a challenge, bugle, lit ball,
whatever it may be. You've did enough practice that you're
muscle memory you can go out and make that call.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So how do you do that?
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Like ideally we recommend off season everybody goes back to
a diaphragm and too combo. Try to get that diaphragm
to work if possible. It allows you to be hands
free as an archer is a muzzloader hunter, so that
you have control over your weapon.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Why you're making calls.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
If that doesn't work, you know you got gag reflex
or for some reason you just can't get the hang
of it. We have designed some calls like the easy
Estris Easy one, Easy Sucker on the cow call side
to kind of cut that learning curve down. We've also
designed the Easy Bigler on the Bigle tube side, which
attaches to a lot of our new Beegle tube to
just make that process easier and hopefully build your confidence.
(27:09):
But whatever it is offseason, find something that builds confidence
for you so that when it comes time to the
big show in September, you're willing to make a call
when needed to help your chances to bring that ball
into range.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Well said, Oh gets me excited, like that guy thinks
about calling a lot or something.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I was going to say, I don't really have much
to add to that. Yeah, before we move on to
our next question, I'm going to add it.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Can I add something?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah? Yeah? Please? Please?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Why is that funny?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
No, we're just out of sync today. It's you know,
it's being Monday.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Oh you think that's what it is. I think that's
the pressure.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Of being live. You know. It provides a little bit
more energy, you know. We Yeah, and I think the
fact that we'd it's that it's it's three thirty on
a Monday. Yeah, yeah, it could be, but we gotta
we gotta rememberable. We've got an audience. They might be
they might not be watching now, but they're out there.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I know, I know, Please, I might I might be
just a little bit low tee because I'm drained from Saturday.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
So sorry, audience, But do you have stuff to add
to the calling thing.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
The best, the best podcast apologize for themselves halfway through.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah what I what I like to do. Don't look
at me with those deer loss in the headlights.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
No, I just was looking at my face on the screen,
and my face is really red. Looks good red. Look
at my hand. Go ahead, please.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Jason's talking about calling a lot, and I fall in
this trap too. Is like I don't put enough repsent
and I try to get plenty of summertime repsent with
my calls. But I used to. I like to always practice.
It's easy to have that call in your mouth for
ten minutes and have already tried to have blown fifty
calcohols and to then produce a good one. It's a
much harder when your mouth is dry. You just put
(29:06):
one in and you got to make one soft mew.
So I always try to practice that. It's kind of
like doing a cold barrel per shot, right, Like that's
the one you're killing. The animal board challenge, the cold
board challenge, right, same thing here, dry diaphragm challenge. Chuck
it in there, do whatever you gotta do with your
salia to get it ready, moist g in the right
(29:27):
spot and see if you can just make that one
perfect cow mew that'll give you that confidence he was
talking about.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yeah, how about when you're physically prepping for elk hunting,
when you're climbing a mountain with a rock pack on
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You want to get into this next question here?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Oh well no, not necessarily. Here's another way for you though.
Another idea is, while you're shooting your bow, have a
diaphragm in your mouth. Janni, how many times have you
tried stopping an elk at full draw with it some
sort of noise cow cal works really?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Well? I have, but it is one I would probably
just give them the old man look up here.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Yeah, but it's nice to have a diy in your
mouth while you're.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Shooting, so that try it. It's good practice. Try it
all well.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Speaking of preparation, and then after this maybe we could
have hit a comment or two please. Speaking of preparation,
our next question comes to us from Adam B. I
want a doll sheep hunt at a local wild sheep fundraiser. Congrats, congrats,
We're all happy for you. I've been doing a fair
bit of hiking with a weighted pack, but where I
(30:35):
live is flatter than a pancake? Do you have any
pointers for me to help get in sheep shape before
my August hunt?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Sheep shape?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
This guy must live in Manitoba, where I just was.
It's flat there, Buddy.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Kansas to answer this question, here's rich froning.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Question.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Is I want a doll sheep hunt at a local wild
sheep fundraiser. I've been doing a fair bit of hiking
with a weighted pack. But where if it's flatter than
a pancakes for me to help get in sheep shape
before my August hunt?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yes, several things use that ruck.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
You can step up to a cooler, if you have
a box, if you have a stadium nearby where you
can get on some stairs. You can throw in some squats,
you can throw in some lunges. You can do some
type of intervals where maybe you run, run ruck, pop down,
do some burpies with the thing. But the more you
can move that weight in different ranges of motion. We
(31:32):
like the squat, we like a lunge once again, stepping
forward on a cooler, doing lateral stepovers on a cooler.
There's all kinds of different movements. You can do, but
you're gonna need to build up that leg strength and
good luck in August.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Nice wow, anything to add to that go out and
run one hundred miles.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
That don't do it?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, but if it's a flat hunter, you're still going
to be hurting.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, there's really nothing that compares us to just stepping
up on things.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah that's right, man, being that you won this hunt
once in a lifetime type thing, most likely, maybe plan
on making a trip out to Colorado and go for
a hike or two.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Maybe a couple weeks before you're hunt.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, that's right. If he's not paying for anything, he
should fly out to some high country and do some
mega hiking. That's a great.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Definitely try and get up to the elevation and yeah,
put a pack on. I mean, you can work on
a step on a cooler all day long, but nothing
gets you trained in the mountains more than just being
in the mountains.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, make sure you got some sheep feet trained up too.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
And it's nice because he knows when he's going sheep hunting,
so he knows when he can stop working out. See
the rest of us are all sort of like floating
around here waiting for the sheep hunt. But he has
a finish line in sight when he can just go
back to being a total slob.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
After the hunt.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, exactly right, just let it all hang out.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, just suffer, suffer for a couple of Months' good question,
you honest? Do you have any any comments here?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
These?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
This is our stand in for comments from the chat.
It's a new new thing we're doing on not live
media to Radio Live.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
We recently have done a new it's not a new series.
We've we've added some episodes to this series, Mediator Experiences.
We did what it takes to lose zero. We did
one called the brush Gun. Have we released anything else yet?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Two seventy seven Fury?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
All right, the seventy seven Fury. We're random basically told
us about it to seventy seven Fury, and then we
took that cartridge and shot a lot of a bunch
of a bunch of different mediums in super slow motion,
which was fun. But we didn't do it wrong. According
to a lot of these comments here on YouTube, Eric
(34:01):
AA five to one says, you all missed the point
of a brush gun. It's to carry, walk and hunt
in the brush. Not I think he missed the word
shoot through brush, short light, easy to get on target,
no glass thirty thirty forty five, seventy forty four, Mag
three fifty seven. See a theme here, Southeast hunter. Here
(34:23):
would so thick thirty yards is a long shot at
time guns, at bowl range, hunting, clearcut, timber lots.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
So you did get it wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Great point.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, which I think that we spoke to that in
our brushgun video.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
There are multiple definitions.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
And that not only is it meant to be able
to be the gun easily manipulated in brush country, but
that the bullet has to be it has to perform
well in the brush. I'm not going to tell you
the outcome of our brush gun video. Go watch it.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I've got one here that's sort of long, similar lines.
It reads, shut up Randal Randall's getting a little more
annoying every episode. Here's another one. Doctor Randall is insufferable.
I mute it when he opens his mouth. Good thing.
The questions were posted at the bottom of the screen.
It's obviously he's trying to win the who can be
most in love with him self contest that nobody has
(35:21):
for And then one more here, it's find a good
one here.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Get a positive one?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Eh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Or you know, he doesn't have to be positive as
long as it's insaneful.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Randall, What an idiot? Okay, yeah, Randall, classic me generation
not getting what they deserve. There's another what an idiot?
Doctor Randall should go back to questions.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, I don't understand why they why they don't like you.
Is it because you are the smartest guy in the
room and they just gotta they just gotta try to
take down.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
No, it's because I'm conceited. It's because I'm conceited. They
hate you see right through me because they ain't you.
They know what I'm thinking and what I think of myself.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Well, don't read those comments.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
We got another question here. This one comes Phil. I
got you with that transition. Got another question here. This
is from a meat eater Trivia All Star Questions submitter
Leland hart Hey. He says, I lead a local conservation group.
I'm always talking up hunting and angling to people I meet.
For some reason, this appears to make me a magnet
for people telling me about how they've broken game loss.
(36:30):
It's happened at least three times. Poachers apparently see my
BHA and meet eater merchant. Think I'm going to tell
this guy about unlicensed night hunting in a day hunting
only state for game out of season, or let me
tell you how I pulled a fast one by hunting
against regulations and got away with it. How would the
meat Eater team deal with confessions of wrongdoing told to
you in earnest? And to answer this question, here's Chester Floyd.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
Oh yes, buddy, Chester Floyd here coming at you from
Wiscon And I about another chettaquit for you. This week's
chettaquit comes to us from Leland Hart. Leland writes, and
what the hell is from going on with this? I
have a chettiquet question? Can we stroud hunter, angler and
(37:16):
outdoorsmans talk about giants?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
H Yeah?
Speaker 11 (37:22):
And I'm always talking up hunting and angling with the
people I meet. For some reason, this appears to make
me that's a magnet for people to tell me about
how they've and.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Now they're going to know and remember, now they're going
to know that I read an abbreviated version of the question.
Speaker 11 (37:37):
Coachure is apparently.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Everything's going fine.
Speaker 11 (37:43):
About unlicensed night hunting in a day hunting only state
for game that's out of season, and I don't have
a tag for anyways and quotes. Let me tell you
how I pulled a fast one by hunting against regulations
on a military base and got away with a trespassing such.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Any real consequences, and so I get to be the standard.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
I tried to make this every educational moment. When it happens.
At least one of the people was just ignorant of
the law. The others seemed oddly proud of their misbehavior.
I didn't hear anything actionable by law enforcement, just historical.
I did this a while ago.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Stuff.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
Obviously, if I anticipated a crime, I would report it.
But it is a weird spot to be in. How
would the meat Eater team deal with confessions of wrongdoing
told to you in earnest down and you goes redneck
(38:58):
crowd pulo kinds of people good and sound, scept a
couple of boys who were up to no good causing all.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
Kinds of trouble in the hood. Feeling your approachabule guys wild,
the boys spear the poaching cries. Sitting here thinking on
what you must do?
Speaker 12 (39:21):
How bad confessions told to you.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
Like guy pulled the fast one on the neighbor's plays,
and I pulled fast one on the military base and.
Speaker 12 (39:41):
I pulled the fast one. I thought you should know
when I pulled a fast one, call me no good.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Cub excellent camera work.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, you can feel the emotions.
Speaker 13 (40:09):
And it's story flies or he's telling white lies. You
gotta boot him in.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
His please you say all those acts.
Speaker 13 (40:17):
If bone of fire facts, I'm gonna burn you down someday. Yeah,
they're gonna burn you down someday. Oh yeah, they're gonna
burn you down someday.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Is he just memorized?
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I think, so this is insane.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I know it's maybe it's written on the top of
his guitar.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
That's why it's so big.
Speaker 13 (40:49):
You goes red neck crowd watching with all kinds of
people in sound.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Said a question.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Good And.
Speaker 11 (41:12):
I hope you like that little song and hopefully it
gave you a little bit of ideas on what to do.
But I think teaching people and making it an educational moment,
really letting them know, like what the heck, dude, like
you cannot do that stuff and that's going to come
back to burn you in Why are you telling me this?
(41:33):
But if somebody has done something like crazy bad which
these guys have, but like just insane, like you've got
to report it to the d n r Uh. They're
in a bar drinking and stuff in this circumstance. So
I'm not quite sure you know how truthful this is,
but it's really use your best judgment, make it educational.
(41:56):
Let them know that they have done wrong.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Well said, Well done man.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
What do you guys thinking to add? Old Chastaro can't
top that? But he's right, ghanis.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Uh no, yeah, I would not worry about keeping them
as friends and just get right in their face. Let
him know what's up. Wrong is wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Tough love, tough love.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Baby, you had some more funny comments for me, you know.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I've got another one here. Randall looks nothing like he sounds.
I would have guessed an old, gray haired man with
glasses in his late sixties. There's another one. I figured
he based off Randall's voice. I figured he was twenty
five years older than he appears to be. That's whack.
(42:56):
Everyone says, uh, sorry, Randall, you're not a doctor. Just
didn't with a degree.
Speaker 4 (43:01):
Oh that stings a little eh yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I let's still a compliment. Sandwich here Hey, Y're honest.
I thoroughly enjoy when you host radio radio meat Eater
Radio Live.
Speaker 6 (43:16):
The compliments about you.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
It reminds me of old meat Eater. I'm not saying
there's anything wrong with the way meat Eater is now,
but when you host, it has a very like, hey man,
we did this, it was awesome. You should try this
feel to it anyway, keep being awesome? Does that make
you feel any better?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
No, because I think they're comparing it to not that
there's anything wrong with the new meat Eater where they
talk about Bennegan's. But I think that's the new meat Eater.
I don't know. Maybe that's just more conceited talk on
my part.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Don't be so conceited, Corey.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
You want to how many questions we got left on
the list here? Oh gosh, what do we got?
Speaker 10 (44:00):
Two?
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Three?
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Got a few more?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
No, I was wondering how many you wanted me to
read from? Oh?
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Well, I think we got a little bit of time.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah yeah, how about this one? Uh? Should I read
the question or just play the video?
Speaker 6 (44:12):
How about we just played the video? Let's play the
video Phil with our like it's going to be the
one video where they don't the question first, let's find
out here's Tyler Jones.
Speaker 14 (44:20):
The question is how do I scout for bucks nailed
for shooting those bucks in the first three weeks of October.
I have no major ag food sources. Instead, it's oak trees.
There's two ways that I could look at this and
do most of the time. And let's break it down
into the first two weeks, which are going to be
more patterable stages of a deer's life, and then that
(44:41):
last week of the three week span in October. You're
getting towards the middle of October and into the twenties,
and deer get a little more pre run, little more
testosterone increase there. So we'll talk about those in that order.
The first section the patternable deer. These deer are not
going to move super far. They're going to be near bedding,
so thick areas, and then they're going to be feeding
(45:01):
on oaks in close proximity, not moving a ton in
the daylight.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Usually it makes them pretty tough.
Speaker 14 (45:07):
Trail cameras are a big part of finding these deer
before this moment actually happens, right so August September, getting
trail cameras out near thick batting where there's oak trees.
Another thing you can do is when you actually go
in to hunt is listen carefully because we're looking for
the first oak trees to start dropping, which doesn't happen
(45:28):
at the first of October sometimes depending on the year.
So we're looking to hopefully get those deer that are
moving to the same sound that we're hearing in the woods,
which is acorns dropping and getting under those first few trees.
The second part of this is the rut or pre
rut rather but rut like movement where we get into
a pinch point near a scrape, and that's a situation
(45:50):
I like a lot. In fact, in twenty twenty, I
killed a deer on the twenty third of October just
outside that window. But he had showed up on a
scrape for the first time on this trail camera on
the s sixteenth. So as we get cold weather in
that third week, we're looking to shoot deer dear scrapes
in pinch points, banking on the fact that they're moving
just a little bit more before dark.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Hope this helps.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Thanks for that great answer, Thank you, Tom Tyler.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
And I was distracted by all the awesome taxi Durmy
behind him.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
I wonder if he's in.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
His house or if he's at a garage. Maybe he's
got a lot of bucks. And those boys like to
do taxi.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Jeremy, Yes they do. I'm about to go pick up
a little piece of tax We.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Can tell us about it.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
It's a shoulder mount of that bear I killed in
Alaska two years ago.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Oh nice, another shoulder mounted bear.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, well the other shoulder mounted bears in Chilli's office.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Yeah, that's more of a neck mount too.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, yeah, you're just gonna be I actually have come
to like those neck mounts. I saw something in Canada
when I was up there, and I'm coming to like
them because I like them because they're manageable and they're.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Still I already have a big bear rug on the wall,
don't really have room for another one.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Well, should take it down and put it on the floor.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
This is a wall pedestal, so it incorporates more of
the sternum and chest, so it'll be coming out of
the wall, and you know, it's sort of it looks
more like a like amount of deer where you get
some of that because some of the bear neck mounts
they just look like you stuck it on the wall.
Arms included No, no, no, but I'm still excited at
(47:31):
a big nog. And so what I really wanted to
look at and remember was the size of its head.
And I saw a photo of it, and it looks
pretty spot on when I compare it to the photos.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
From would that run you.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Do on Doug numbers?
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Does your wife like twelve hundred dollars?
Speaker 5 (47:48):
Oh that's it's not bad?
Speaker 2 (47:51):
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was reasonable. Yeah, but that's
also why I don't do any other tax dur me.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Mm hmm. It's expensive.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
It is always said, rather go on another hunt, then
get a get a buck mounted. All right, Can we
ask the beer drinking question now?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, sure, Travis t And this actually is a real one.
Why do I feel like everybody off camera is drinking beers?
And why are they hiding it?
Speaker 1 (48:23):
This was a question on a on a meteor Roast
episode that was Phil kracking a beer. He's not hiding it.
We don't hide it. Who do you want to take this?
You want me to take it? Why don't you take it?
I'll start you feel inspired. Nobody off camera is drinking beers.
(48:45):
Anybody off camera is working, so they're they're they're not
drinking beers. In the rare cases that we are drinking
beers and there is some sort of video recording going on,
it's usually towards the end the day. Maybe your roast
episode is a glaring yeah, an anomaly. But for the
(49:09):
most part, the cameras are put away, the days wrapped up.
We're not working anymore, we're relaxing, but something still funny
happens or whatever, and we get a phone out and
it's recorded. Because I've gotten that a lot too, where
they're just like, man, you're so fired up and happy,
you must be drinking beers. I'm not not drinking beers
(49:32):
on camera.
Speaker 6 (49:33):
Also, that can I just cracked was a sparkling juice drink.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
That's because I drink all the beers.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
What do you say to that, Corey, You've been on
some production sets now recently in the last year in
your new role.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Yeah, I can't say I ever saw an open container
while we were working. But afterwards, now, because you gotta
work hard, you gotta play hard. Yeah, like we've cracked
a couple of cold ones afterwards, but yeah, never during.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
Yep, nothing to add. Randall Randall's not hiding it, as
you guys can see.
Speaker 6 (50:11):
And also I'm not being whole holier than thou. At
my previous job, the office was attached to a brewery.
They had a deal with them that I got a
free beer every day, and on Thursdays we got three
free beers what not. Every every Thursday, the first Thursday
of every month, we got three free beers. So but
and I also worked the graveyard shift, so I would
(50:34):
start off my shift by drinking a double I p a,
then go edit audio for eight hours, and then on
Thursday the first Thursdays. I mean, I don't know how
I got worked out, but I did. Yeah, Yeah, I
was good at it.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
I worked. I worked across the tracks from that same brewery, Phil,
I didn't get any free beers.
Speaker 6 (50:53):
I'm sorry I missed that brewery. I was thinking about it,
but I did go there a lot. So shout out
to the Draft Forcks in Missoula.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Oh buddy, I've never been to their brewery, but I
sure do you like their beer?
Speaker 2 (51:04):
Homeboy from Home, Away from Home, love it. We got
another question here that goes to Jordan. But and I
don't know if she's repeated the question, So I'll just
say play the tape.
Speaker 8 (51:19):
Phil got a question from Cameron Bocoff nice and he
just bought his first white tail tag and wants to
know what are some must haves for first white tail hunt.
So what I would suggest, more than anything tangible is
shoot whatever weapon that you're going to use. Become super
(51:40):
super proficient with that. In the end, that's what it's
gonna come down to, and it's going to probably happen
pretty quick. So being proficient and comfortable with whatever you
use and is probably the most important. Beyond that, whitetail
is a pretty stationary sport, so I'll get some good
clothes to be able to sit longer.
Speaker 6 (51:59):
So that's what I got for.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Top notch advice from a white tail outfitter.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Let me add to that, please, safety harness.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
M m. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
If in a tree, yeah, safety first.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Don't go climbing trees without safety harnesses, folks.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
And these days they have the lifelines as well. It's
basically a static rope that's attached above your tree stand
and at the base and so that you where you're
attached the whole time while you're climbing, must have pieces
of gear for his first white tail hunt.
Speaker 6 (52:45):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
If you'd asked nineteen year old Randall, I would have
told you three bottles of scent killer.
Speaker 6 (52:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:54):
I don't really believe in that too much either, must
have pieces of gear for his first white tail man,
it's so very I don't have no idea where his
hunt's going to be, how cold he's going.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
To be, Yeah, I mean how hot he's going to be,
depending on where he's hunting. I'd say a fifty pounds
bag of corn, some old apples.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Maybe maybe it's really vague. Sharp knife. You gotta be
able to gotten gut chop up your deer after he
gets it. But what else to help him be successful? Binoculars?
You don't really have to have buyos in the white
tail woods.
Speaker 4 (53:33):
Something to help keep you a patient, assuming maybe in
a tree.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Maybe a good.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
Book, yeah, a good book and some good snacks.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
We're just one earbud to listen to meat Eat Radio live.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Yeah. I don't support that.
Speaker 6 (53:50):
We get a lot of people in the chat saying
that they're sitting in a tree stand or sitting against
a tree waiting for turkeys listening to radio. That seems
irresponsible if you're trying to be in a fish but hey,
thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
Might get you in the mood though, Right.
Speaker 1 (54:05):
You're already out there. If you're not in the mood,
might not be the right thing for you.
Speaker 6 (54:14):
Point.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Yeah, they listen to you, honest. If you're not happy
to be out there, go home. Yeah, go pick up
golf save it for the rest of us. That's right,
you got more, Randall. I think that's it for questions, Phil,
How are we doing on time here?
Speaker 6 (54:31):
We're doing great on time. We can we can uh
head for the final lap.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
Here, but there's there's no uh, there's no chat room questions.
Speaker 6 (54:39):
Mogor says, we're doing a great job. Keep it up.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
Thanks more.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
We really needed that one.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Yeah, I'm trying to look what an idiot doctor Randall?
Speaker 7 (54:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (54:51):
Hold on, I think we need to look at your
meat eat or roasts episode.
Speaker 2 (54:54):
Ry we all love to hate. I mute it when
he opens his mouth.
Speaker 6 (55:00):
Is that one real?
Speaker 2 (55:01):
What's up with the wig? Yeah? No, someone actually did
say these are all real? All right, Well, before we go,
we have an important call to action starting next week
because today is June nineteenth, I'm talking June twenty sixth here.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
Okay, hold on, hold on. I'm sorry I had to interrupt,
but since we're not doing this live, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (55:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
I am going to compliment sandwich to help with your conceitedness,
to bring you up, because I want you to leave today,
you know, not down loan, So right here, noah ratchaw.
This is from Randall and Spencer's roast episode. You guys
did a great job on you could lost one of
(55:45):
you better than you lost. Yeah, Spencer is a tough,
tough but this fella, says Randall, Slamming a beer to
open a cooking show makes it feel like it's a
deer Camp cookoff and I love it.
Speaker 6 (56:00):
I've got I've got some too. This is from Last
the Rat Radio live from a couple of weeks ago.
Guys with hundreds of beavers, says, came here just to
comment on the movie Club. Outstanding all caps, Doctor Randall,
you have set a new bar and I look forward
to the next one. Wow. Hashtag proud Randamal we have
Randall is a national treasure. Oh that's from Nick, he
(56:21):
works for us.
Speaker 15 (56:23):
Oh oh that's Randall. Probably bought that newt a beer
that's brutal. What about this? I love all the Rose Shows. No, yeah,
I love all the Rose Shows, but I loved this one.
But he's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Anyways. Randall always adds extra to everything he does. Okay,
here's here's another one. In quotes you like, I said,
don't don't eat all of them? Is that a movie quote?
Speaker 2 (56:51):
No, that's from when I told them not to eat
the potatoes. Oh okay, because some of the potatoes were well.
Speaker 1 (56:56):
He says, I want another episode with Randall next one.
Danel cracks me up, like, if you have four potatoes,
pick the one that looks most done. What a good sport?
Speaker 3 (57:05):
Great sport?
Speaker 2 (57:06):
See Doctor Randall's the worst stop it.
Speaker 6 (57:10):
Jamis says I was moving on. Jameson says, I would
like to thank whatever mechanism at Meat Eater, and maybe
even just the universe for giving Randal the rain and
more importantly, the confidence. I'm stressing that part editorially to
follow through with whatever meta concept that just had me
laughing to tears in my truck.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
Randall's previous comments about being depressed after losing Trivia and
coming home to his wife all said is honestly concerning
to hear.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
So for all you, Randal, for all you randall fans
se gave you a good one to end. I do
you think we shoul right?
Speaker 2 (57:44):
I do think we should. We should read some more
comments like that. It's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (57:48):
Oh, I love it. It's hilarious, as I was saying.
Starting next week, June twenty sixth, we will be doing

Speaker 2 (00:26):
Welcome to Meet Eater Radio Live. We're coming to you
from med Eater hqan Bozeman, Montana. We're not live today.
What yeah, No, this is for June eighteenth, nineteenth nineteenth.
This is June nineteenth. If you're listening to me now,
it's federal holiday Juneteenth, and we are recognizing that here
(00:50):
by not being here. So this is a pre recorded
episode and on today's episode, we've got a great one
for you. We're here to answer your questions from how
to handle conversations with poachers? Are we two unique ways
to prepare bear meat? This entire show is Q and
A and it is June nineteenth today, So we are
(01:14):
in the thick of things. Summer speaking, boys, have any
fun summer plans?
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Oh man, I.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Stumbled through that intro. I don't think this is off
to a good start.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
I think you did great.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
Oh yeah, I wrote this script. But you crushed that.
Speaker 2 (01:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
Pound some more of that beer. Lub it up, Randall,
mubercate the wheels. Uh, what are you doing, Corey Man? Camping?
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Been doing some camping. It's been a hot summer already.
I feel like winter kind of really. Yeah, it feels
like all of a sudden, it's just been.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Hot, like it feels like it's July out.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
And it's not.
Speaker 2 (01:50):
It's June nineteenth, yes, but it's actually is June ninth, June.
Speaker 4 (01:54):
Ninth that we're recording this, and it's just it's just
hotter than it needs to be.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Already was out taken.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
It was up near our state capital over the weekend
and it was really smoky. I think it's fires coming
down to Canada, but it's like it's just coming on
a little too early. I feel like spring held on
pretty well, but then it's like we need some snow still.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
The smoke rolled in and dramatically.
Speaker 4 (02:17):
Waters in western Montana are drying up, the rivers are
drying up.
Speaker 3 (02:22):
Reservoirs are not going to fill up this year.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
It's not looking good.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
So you're telling me you're not going to fish much
this summer.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
I'm going to fish now, and comes summer, I'm going
to be shooting rocks from a slingshot at carp or
something else, not catching trout, that's for sure.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
Oh yeah, maybe going to the reservoirs and practicing your
spear fishing on some carp in the water bow fishing.
Maybe that'd be cool.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
Yeah, I get your Montana trout fishing now, because it
feels like it's going to be a hoot owl later.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
What does hoodowl mean, Corey.
Speaker 4 (02:55):
Well, that's just the term that they've coined when rivers
a little too warm, if it's above seventy two degrees
for a few days in a row, they'll shut the
fishing down, mostly in the afternoons.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Usually it's around two PM.
Speaker 4 (03:10):
Or whenever the water gets hot. But really you just
need to have a thermometer in the water and use
your head. If it gets honestly towards seventy you should
put your fly fishing gear or any of your fishing
gear down and go do something else.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Get up a little earlier and fish early.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
In the mornings.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
But we will see that here sooner than later, I'm sure.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
So you shouldn't need a fish on owl hours, right.
I don't understand they're only protecting a bunch of non natives.
I can understand if they're killing a bunch of cutthroats,
but there's, yeah, a bunch of rainbows and browns in there.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, what point in evolution is something native and not
and non native. Still, like if a rainbow is born
in a river, obviously it's not from that area. But
at what point, like does it take thousands of years,
hundreds of thousands of years? At what point is an
animal native to landscape?
Speaker 1 (03:58):
You can ask that same Ques question about humans. Yeah,
we were just up in Manitoba, you know, on that
bear hunt and different parts of that country Canada, not
Manitoba the province. But you know, they depending on which
province you're in, they really respect They call them the
first nations, right, which we don't really use that term
down here. I started thinking a lot about that. I'm like, well,
(04:21):
they were first, but who was before them?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
And no one?
Speaker 5 (04:26):
Maybe no one?
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Do we know.
Speaker 3 (04:29):
All the evidence maybe is buried under the sand.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Like does their history go back that far where they're like,
oh no, like my ancestors came across the Lambridge or
my ancestors came down the coast and then migrated.
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I mean I think so there's really no other way
they you could have ended up indigenous without having some
lineage that goes back to that, right.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Well, I just don't think we know all the details yet,
do you you do way more reading about this than
I do.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
I mean, I we're getting into we're getting in some
pretty heady territory.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
Here goes oh we are. This is not where you
want to go with this.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
No, no, I.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
We're supposed to just be talking about what we're doing this.
Speaker 6 (05:21):
What's the meaning of life?
Speaker 2 (05:22):
You're honest.
Speaker 1 (05:24):
I heard you're running a race this summer. Speaking of
being hot this summer. I ran a race a couple
of days ago last week. If you're listening to this,
on June nineteenth in Poketeo, Idaho called the Scout Mountain
Ultra ran the fifty miles distance, which actually in Scout
(05:45):
Mountain is at Scout Mountains fifty five. For the first
time ever, I used a handkerchief that or a bandana
that was sewn shut and it almost it had like
a sleeve on the long edge and the ends were
open like where you would tie it went around your
neck and you stuff ice in there and then you
tie around your neck. Game changer.
Speaker 2 (06:07):
And so you did do this this past weekend. It's
not coming up next weekend.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
No.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
I Already level of detail convinced.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Me, yes, yeah, game changer. And obviously it started with
just a regular bandana. Somebody decided to put some ice
in a bandana, and they've evolved. But I bet I
would have run at least thirty minutes, maybe sixty minutes longer,
and been way more affected by the heat had I
not had this ice bandana.
Speaker 3 (06:35):
You were able to find some ice to fill it
up throughout the race.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
So yeah, most of these ultras, I would say all
of them honestly have eight stations, and they're The longest
distance that we went between eight stations was just over
ten miles. But most of the time they try to
set them at like five to seven. Five sometimes can
seem short because you're barely getting through what you've replenished
(07:01):
before you need more. Ten felt a little bit long,
especially Saturday, because I was like, I drained all my
liquids and everything. But anyways, they know it's going to
be hot. They had ice at every single aid station,
lots of different like energy and chloric drinks, like the
(07:23):
you know, Gatorade type stuff, tailwind Goo type stuff. But
then also they'll just have little cups of coke gingeril.
Speaker 2 (07:31):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Yeah, but I don't understand why I'm always I would
rather drink flat coke because then I don't have the
carbonation bouncing in my belly. But nobody at this race
was They were like, oh, we thought you'd like carbonation
because it settles your stomach, you know how like when
you're a kid and you sat your mom gets a
little seven up ginger trail.
Speaker 3 (07:50):
Yeah, saltine crackers.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
Yeah, but yeah. So I ran the fifty five in
preparation for the Crazy Mountain one hundred, which is at
the end of July.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That'll be hot.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
It could be could be cold too, whether in the
crazies at the end of July, never know, don't know.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
July fourth last year were up there and getting snowed on.
You were up there, see what a little hike.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
I mean.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Odds are it'll be warm on the warmer side of
things than colder, but you never know. I'll be prepared
for that. If it's colder, it'll be much easier running.
What else I want to tell you about my recent race.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
I see you here. Two emergency poops, Is that correct?
Speaker 1 (08:35):
Yes, But it was a bad way to start the race.
Within the first ten miles, I had two of those.
But between those two emergency poops, I had three falls
and at forty seven years of age, my falls are
not getting any easier. I used to kind of like skid,
(08:56):
roll flip and just like be right back on my
feet and trudge all going like oh what was that,
you know, and kind of take a couple of deep breasts,
make sure the ribs and lungs were okay. Now I
like skid and pretty much come to a slt on
the ground and then lift my face off the dirt
and I'm like, oh, and then I you know, slowly
(09:17):
like a big buck getting up out of his bed,
you know, get up and stretch and you know, then
check and make sure everything's still working, and then proceed
down the trail. I don't know if it was I
was wearing some new shoes. I didn't have too many
miles in yet. The trail was like mountain bike single track,
so it had a little bit of that like v
(09:37):
to it got a belly, yeah, and I had like
like that groove, you know what I'm talking about. And
I don't know if that was getting to me because
I talked to some other folks that actually fell in
that same section too. But yeah, I've made it most
of my life not needing to poop while I'm running,
and those days are behind me.
Speaker 2 (09:55):
Are all poops while you're running, emergency poops.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
I think if I would have been able to, I
knew I had an AID station coming up, and I'm
kind of watching all my watch. I know what mileage
it's at, I know how many miles I have to go,
And if I could just make it to the aid station,
and even if I was, you know, sprinting in there
to go have a bowet movement, I would say, Oh,
it wasn't really an emergency. I had to poop. Yeah,
(10:22):
but these these are like, oh, no, you're getting off
the trail now and you're gonna poop. Talking to more
ultra marathon runners, they're like, oh, if you don't have
some of those along with losing some toenails, fighting some nausea,
you didn't really experience an ultra marathon, Well, I would guess,
(10:43):
like one hundred miles.
Speaker 3 (10:44):
How long is that going to take you?
Speaker 1 (10:46):
The goal is to do it under thirty miles thirty sorry,
thirty hours. Yeah, that's a few poops yo for sure. Well,
depending because I think if you're.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
Traveling, well, sometimes you can go two days.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
I have that curse where when I start a new hunt.
I don't poop for three or four days.
Speaker 1 (11:04):
It's bad.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Phil, What about you start a new video game? Are
things moving correctly or Yeah?
Speaker 6 (11:11):
I mean I keep a bucket behind the couch just.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
There you go. Oh yeah, yeah, boy.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
That's the hell of a hobby. Yeah real, picked a doozy.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
Yeah, picked a doozy. But it's you know, we we
went to bed having this conversation, like why are we
doing this? Like in our group, someone said, yeah, my literally,
my my bunghole is like warn raw and fucking on fire.
Sorry for the F bomb, And uh, that's no fun.
(11:43):
Like we're talking about between the three of us, how
many toenails we're gonna lose. Everybody's hobbling around, looks like
you can barely walk. And why why have we chosen this?
Because I used to run just to be in shape
for elk clunting, yeah right, just to be able to
chase the bowl up the mountain. And now it's become
a little bit more of a love for the run itself.
(12:03):
But and so we went to bed with questions and
I woke up and I said, you know, it's because,
uh it makes you feel alive. I think that's a
that's there's no simpler answer than that.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
Yeah. Yeah, you guys have any other questions, I can
tell you about my toenails. I can tell you about how.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
To lose some. I almost lost a tonail during hunting season.
I put a toe warmer in my boot and then
it flipped around and got on top of my toe.
But I didn't want to take it out. Time out.
Speaker 3 (12:34):
It was under your feet.
Speaker 2 (12:36):
Yeah, what they go on top of your foot?
Speaker 1 (12:38):
No, they don't know.
Speaker 3 (12:39):
Good, Yeah, top of your toes. Try it.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You're walking around with it.
Speaker 5 (12:46):
Listen.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
I know that what you're saying works, but the directions
I never read.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
The direction was the opposite.
Speaker 1 (12:56):
Yeah, but you certainly feel the heat touching you.
Speaker 5 (12:59):
This is new.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
I got this bad boy wrapped up around my big
toe and uh ouch, that toenail is still filled up
with blood.
Speaker 1 (13:09):
Let's ask the let's ask the live chat. Do you
guys go toe warmers on top or underneath your toes?
Speaker 3 (13:15):
Let's ask cal.
Speaker 1 (13:17):
We'll wait for you guys to get back Phil.
Speaker 2 (13:19):
What do we have?
Speaker 6 (13:20):
Oh yeah, it's a fifty to fifty split crazy. Let's
settle nothing. I'm sorry on.
Speaker 3 (13:25):
It's eleven fifteen on a Monday.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
So it got in there. You still just hiked your
tail off and that little tonail pounded against that toe
warmer and that was the end of it.
Speaker 2 (13:35):
Yeah. Yeah, by the end of the day, I was
limping pretty good, but I just never wanted to take
my boot off. It was real cold.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Then do you lost it completely?
Speaker 2 (13:45):
No? No, it just sort of died and I've kind
of trimmed it back to the quick never lifted off,
never lifted off, but it was no longer attached. It
was just kind of floating. So yeah, it's been a
weird one. It's still pretty ugly at this point. So
I'm wearing socks with crocs today. Hey, so you can't
get a peak fashion statement.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
You know what my kids say these days, you're a
dork if you go the opposite, which is what I do.
I don't like wearing socks with my crocs, but the
kids are like, no, that's the only way to wear
crocs at So you're in, You're good.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
I love it.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
Do you think by looking at my toes you could
tell me if I'm gonna lose the toenail or not.
Speaker 3 (14:22):
Oh, break them out.
Speaker 2 (14:23):
Now, I'd have to get in there and wigle them
like a tooth.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Well, they're not loose yet by any means. They just
there's just a coloration to them. It's different from my
other toenails, and I think I still might be able
to keep them. But everybody looks at them as like, no,
they're gone, You're done. Is this your big toe? It
was both my big toes, and then two of the
little ones on their right foot. They're both looking at purply.
(14:50):
What I'm hoping is that if I'm gonna lose them,
I'm gonna lose them before I have to run a
hundred miles. Because if I just don't have toenails there,
life will be easy peasy. But if I have like loose,
messed up, partially attached, painful toenails, could.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Suck put a little dental floss on him and tied
it to a door knob.
Speaker 3 (15:11):
Oh, let's go.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
Yeah? Did I tell you guys about the fellow that
I line hunted with one day. He's a buddy of Pete's.
Speaker 2 (15:17):
Actually, you have his tonails removed ed?
Speaker 6 (15:20):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Has it?
Speaker 7 (15:21):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (15:22):
Toails removed for the sole purpose of sheep hunting.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
Really?
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, had him removed completely?
Speaker 2 (15:28):
Interesting.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, he said he thought he was a tough guy,
and the doctors like, uh, yeah, we can like maybe
do like two because he was just gonna go in
and be like take him, take ten please, let's get
this done. And the doc's like, now, we'll do too,
and we'll see how it goes. And afterwards he's like, oh,
thank god, because yeah, I guess when you get your
(15:49):
toenails removed, it's not fun.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
But then he went back there five more times. Yeah, huh, yeah,
it's hardcore.
Speaker 1 (15:56):
Yeah, no, he's into it, love it all right, Well,
let's move on from my running. I'll let you boys
know how it goes when I'm done with one hundred Randa.
Speaker 3 (16:06):
What do you got going on this summer?
Speaker 8 (16:08):
Boy?
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Are we doing? Yeah? I guess. Well it's now June nineteenth,
coming up shortly here. I'm heading across the pond for
a little tour of beer and brought fursts. Oh lovely Deutschland,
Deutschland ostrak. Ah, that's Austria, and I'm just gonna drink
(16:33):
a lot of beer and eat a lot of pretzels
and do a lot of sampling of local tube meats.
That sounds a little bit of walking Hey, it's a
tenth anniversary trip.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Oh yeah, good. Call is not far away. You could
take probably get one hundred dollars flight. Then call me
when you're over there.
Speaker 2 (16:55):
Are you going to be there?
Speaker 1 (16:56):
I won't be, but you know, just calling call me
back here and say, hey, I made it. If you
were going to.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
Be there, I'd extend my trip and make it up
there so you could look for some dog raccoons or
whatever they are.
Speaker 1 (17:08):
Oh, I can make that happen, buddy. I could make
a little raccoon dog trip happen for you. Well, that's awesome.
That sounds like a grip.
Speaker 2 (17:17):
And then we're coming back and sort of immediately recording
the next Media or American History audiobook, which is no
small source of anxiety. It's gonna be great, but there's
a lot of work to do. And then in August,
you know, it just depends on how smoky everything is.
I'm going to an event in Ikalaca, the Dino shin
(17:39):
Dig that looks at the Carter County Museum. We're going
to go out and dig some dinosaur bones, listen to
some dinosaur research. So yeah, pretty big summer ahead of me, guys,
Pretty big summer.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Is Spencer New York going with you to the Dino Shin?
Speaker 2 (17:53):
No, he's not. Tickets are limited so and and to
go out on the field expedition is couple hundred bucks.
So I didn't buy Spencer ticket. Long story short, but yeah,
I'm excited.
Speaker 1 (18:06):
But you think he'd love that?
Speaker 2 (18:08):
Yeah, I think he wants to go, but you know,
he's more of just a.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
Solid rock guy.
Speaker 3 (18:14):
I think when is this It's like July.
Speaker 2 (18:17):
It's late July.
Speaker 1 (18:18):
I Glaca gets hot.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Yeah, yeah, no, I think it's going to be very hot.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
Phil. What about you?
Speaker 6 (18:25):
Oh, thanks for asking, Corey. I don't have a whole
lot going on going to the Black Hills with the family.
It's our our short, little, short, little family vac this year.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
There you go.
Speaker 6 (18:36):
That's pretty much all I've got planned.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
You know, go see Mount Rushmore.
Speaker 6 (18:39):
We are The kids are excited. Yeah, yeah, they're they're
they're stoke. So yeah, it'll be a it'll be a
fun time.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
How did you get them fired up on Mount Rushmore?
Speaker 6 (18:47):
They just like the idea of Mount Rushmore. I'm sure
they'll be completely deflated once we actually get there and
they see how far away it is and how far
we had to drive to get there, but for the
time being, they're stoked, and that's I'm just gonna hold
on to that as long as I can.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Yeah, think about swinging by Devil's Tower, which is kind
of out of the way, but.
Speaker 6 (19:07):
I have them thinking about it.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It's yeah, yeah, cam right underneath it.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
And then there's uh Teddy Roosevelt National Park too.
Speaker 3 (19:15):
Maybe in north Yeah, there's the bad Lands.
Speaker 2 (19:18):
Yeah, Badlands National Park is all right, and just the
Black Hills State Park is worth the drive. They have
a wild ass highway that goes round and round and
it kind of frames you go through these tunnels built
into the rock that frames Mount Rushmore quite nicely. Yeah,
it's very thoughtfully done.
Speaker 6 (19:36):
Yeah, we're actually gonna be staying in the in the
bad Lands, so lovely.
Speaker 1 (19:41):
Deadwood is the trip to stop too.
Speaker 6 (19:43):
Oh you don't have to tell me. I've already got plants.
Speaker 2 (19:46):
It's a poker, Phil, what's the chat saying?
Speaker 6 (19:48):
Oh, it's crazy. Even though we're pre recording this episodere
is here. I don't know how we found out. Hell yeah,
shouts greetings. Thanks for the show. You guys are awesome. Mogor,
thanks for be in here. It's always go to.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Hear nineteenth and Hungary. Should we move on to some questions?
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Well, god, let's do it. Well, that are comments. I
don't know which one you want to do first? Or
we can split. We can do a little bit of
one and then bounce back and forth.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
We can bounce back and forth a little bit now here.
Let's begin with this question from Michael m. Michael em writes,
I've recently been gifted two shotguns by my father in law,
who is handicapped and can no longer hunt. Inspired by
this gesture and eager to connect with nature, I am
determined to embark on my hunting journey. However, as a newcomer,
(20:36):
I find the most daunting challenge is locating accessible land
to hunt on. I would greatly appreciate any advice or
resources you could share on how to find hunting land
in general. Additionally, if there are any local programs, public lands,
or community initiatives that facilitate land access for new hunters,
I would be eager to learn more.
Speaker 1 (20:55):
Great question, who wants to start here? Be honest, Well,
it's almost as if this question was sent in under
a pseudonym.
Speaker 2 (21:08):
No, this is a genuine email.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
I know, but I'm asking if pseudonym is the right term.
I'm using like a fake name.
Speaker 2 (21:17):
But that is that is the real name.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I know if my vocabulary is correct.
Speaker 2 (21:22):
Yeah, pseudonym is.
Speaker 1 (21:23):
A thank you. Yeah, as if someone from on x.
Speaker 2 (21:27):
Oh oh, I see I see.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
Under a pseudonym of Michael.
Speaker 2 (21:31):
M I thought you're accusing Corey of making up this
question like.
Speaker 1 (21:35):
Some of the other ones. No, get out of here,
but Michael, it's very easy. Get yourself a smartphone, download
yourself some ONYX, find yourself on that map, and then
turn on the layer of public lands and it will
(21:56):
literally light up on your map of all the available
public lands. And then usually you can click on said
lands and find out more information about it and maybe
even what you can can't hunt there, and then there's
usually links to hunting regulations and so on and so forth.
That would be my one piece of advice. I don't
(22:20):
know about any initiatives that facilitate land access for new hunters,
but I would say that you could go to Sharing
the Land that our buddy Doug Duran runs and see
if they might have some stuff going on, which is
basically a cooperative where they find willing landowners that want
(22:44):
to give some access. They set them up with people
like you that are looking to hunt and willing to
do a little bit of work to get access to
that land. And it's a great program. So there's stuff
like that out there. If that still doesn't work, send
some letters, go door knocking.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
I would add to that, get involved in like your
local BHA chapter. Talk to make some friends who are
in the same boat. And then also reach out to
your local or your state Fish and Game office because
those most of those agencies have access programs, whether it's
(23:25):
like you know, the public lands that they manage directly
or private lands that they help administer public access too,
and oftentimes they have like staffers who are specifically working
on access issues. So it's their job and that's what
they want to do, is connect people with places to hunt.
So don't be afraid to reach out to Fish and
(23:46):
Game and see what they have going on.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
Yeah, you took the words right out of my mouth.
I was also thinking, you have a local sporting good store,
go check out the bulletin board down there and see
if there's any group get together is or some sort
of event that you can.
Speaker 2 (24:01):
Yeah, fundraisers, things like that ye.
Speaker 4 (24:03):
Try mingling any local banquets unlimited.
Speaker 2 (24:07):
I know, at least in some states there are organizations
where you can go do boots on the ground conservation work,
like outside of BHA. You know, there's like organizations that
are doing local projects. If you have like a you know,
like a local sportsman's group that's helping pull fans or
whatever else, go get involved in that stuff. And people
(24:27):
are more likely to extend an invite to you if
they see that you're invested in it and out there
in the world doing good work.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
Yeah, and there's a very good chance that the work
you'll be doing will be on land that you can
go hunt. Yeah, all right, if we knew what state
Michael m was in. But oh well, let's go on
to how do you pronounce this next one?
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Randall uh jabron t h. I think this is a
pseudonym for Corey Jabron Jabron Jabron writes, I'll be hunting Archie,
Elk and Idaho the first time this fall. What should
I be doing to prepare as an ELK caller in
the off season? And to answer this question, here's mister
(25:08):
Jason Phelps. One of the most.
Speaker 9 (25:12):
Asked questions we get this time of the years. What
should I be doing as a caller in the off
season to improve my chances for success come September. My
short answer is always you just need to have the
confidence to be able to call in September. One of
those biggest hurdles is you're out there, you're interacting with elk,
you're on the elk, and you're just afraid to call. Yeah,
(25:32):
there are a lot of situations where maybe calling is
not the best answer, the best solution to to find success.
But there are a lot of situations we're calling will
bring that bowl into the archery range and be the
thing that does matter. So how do you build that confidence?
Speaker 2 (25:46):
It's practicing right now in the off season.
Speaker 9 (25:48):
Now, I'm not going to get into like making perfect
cal cals. How you make those?
Speaker 7 (25:51):
That's difficult.
Speaker 9 (25:52):
We got YouTube videos for that, you know, go search
those up. But I relate this a lot to playing basketball.
The game is where you get to show off how
good you are. Practice is what makes you and builds
how good you are. It's the same thing with archero
cutting and calling. We don't get enough reps out in
the field during September to become good. You need to
(26:12):
do that in the off season, you need to have
enough practice that you're confident when you go to blow
a call, you know exactly how that call is going
to react. You know exactly how to repeat the call
that you want. You know how to make this sound
a calmew and estris, wine, a challenge, bugle, lit ball,
whatever it may be. You've did enough practice that you're
muscle memory you can go out and make that call.
Speaker 2 (26:34):
So how do you do that?
Speaker 9 (26:35):
Like ideally we recommend off season everybody goes back to
a diaphragm and too combo. Try to get that diaphragm
to work if possible. It allows you to be hands
free as an archer is a muzzloader hunter, so that
you have control over your weapon.
Speaker 6 (26:46):
Why you're making calls.
Speaker 9 (26:48):
If that doesn't work, you know you got gag reflex
or for some reason you just can't get the hang
of it. We have designed some calls like the easy
Estris Easy one, Easy Sucker on the cow call side
to kind of cut that learning curve down. We've also
designed the Easy Bigler on the Bigle tube side, which
attaches to a lot of our new Beegle tube to
just make that process easier and hopefully build your confidence.
(27:09):
But whatever it is offseason, find something that builds confidence
for you so that when it comes time to the
big show in September, you're willing to make a call
when needed to help your chances to bring that ball
into range.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Well said, Oh gets me excited, like that guy thinks
about calling a lot or something.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
I was going to say, I don't really have much
to add to that. Yeah, before we move on to
our next question, I'm going to add it.
Speaker 1 (27:36):
Can I add something?
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Yeah? Yeah? Please? Please?
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Why is that funny?
Speaker 2 (27:40):
No, we're just out of sync today. It's you know,
it's being Monday.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Oh you think that's what it is. I think that's
the pressure.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Of being live. You know. It provides a little bit
more energy, you know. We Yeah, and I think the
fact that we'd it's that it's it's three thirty on
a Monday. Yeah, yeah, it could be, but we gotta
we gotta rememberable. We've got an audience. They might be
they might not be watching now, but they're out there.
Speaker 1 (28:03):
I know, I know, Please, I might I might be
just a little bit low tee because I'm drained from Saturday.
Speaker 2 (28:11):
So sorry, audience, But do you have stuff to add
to the calling thing.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yes, I do.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
The best, the best podcast apologize for themselves halfway through.
Speaker 1 (28:22):
Yeah what I what I like to do. Don't look
at me with those deer loss in the headlights.
Speaker 2 (28:28):
No, I just was looking at my face on the screen,
and my face is really red. Looks good red. Look
at my hand. Go ahead, please.
Speaker 1 (28:43):
Jason's talking about calling a lot, and I fall in
this trap too. Is like I don't put enough repsent
and I try to get plenty of summertime repsent with
my calls. But I used to. I like to always practice.
It's easy to have that call in your mouth for
ten minutes and have already tried to have blown fifty
calcohols and to then produce a good one. It's a
much harder when your mouth is dry. You just put
(29:06):
one in and you got to make one soft mew.
So I always try to practice that. It's kind of
like doing a cold barrel per shot, right, Like that's
the one you're killing. The animal board challenge, the cold
board challenge, right, same thing here, dry diaphragm challenge. Chuck
it in there, do whatever you gotta do with your
salia to get it ready, moist g in the right
(29:27):
spot and see if you can just make that one
perfect cow mew that'll give you that confidence he was
talking about.
Speaker 4 (29:33):
Yeah, how about when you're physically prepping for elk hunting,
when you're climbing a mountain with a rock pack on
or whatever.
Speaker 2 (29:40):
You want to get into this next question here?
Speaker 4 (29:42):
Oh well no, not necessarily. Here's another way for you though.
Another idea is, while you're shooting your bow, have a
diaphragm in your mouth. Janni, how many times have you
tried stopping an elk at full draw with it some
sort of noise cow cal works really?
Speaker 1 (29:58):
Well? I have, but it is one I would probably
just give them the old man look up here.
Speaker 4 (30:06):
Yeah, but it's nice to have a diy in your
mouth while you're.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
Shooting, so that try it. It's good practice. Try it
all well.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
Speaking of preparation, and then after this maybe we could
have hit a comment or two please. Speaking of preparation,
our next question comes to us from Adam B. I
want a doll sheep hunt at a local wild sheep fundraiser. Congrats, congrats,
We're all happy for you. I've been doing a fair
bit of hiking with a weighted pack, but where I
(30:35):
live is flatter than a pancake? Do you have any
pointers for me to help get in sheep shape before
my August hunt?
Speaker 6 (30:41):
Sheep shape?
Speaker 1 (30:42):
This guy must live in Manitoba, where I just was.
It's flat there, Buddy.
Speaker 2 (30:47):
Kansas to answer this question, here's rich froning.
Speaker 5 (30:52):
Question.
Speaker 10 (30:53):
Is I want a doll sheep hunt at a local wild
sheep fundraiser. I've been doing a fair bit of hiking
with a weighted pack. But where if it's flatter than
a pancakes for me to help get in sheep shape
before my August hunt?
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yes, several things use that ruck.
Speaker 10 (31:10):
You can step up to a cooler, if you have
a box, if you have a stadium nearby where you
can get on some stairs. You can throw in some squats,
you can throw in some lunges. You can do some
type of intervals where maybe you run, run ruck, pop down,
do some burpies with the thing. But the more you
can move that weight in different ranges of motion. We
(31:32):
like the squat, we like a lunge once again, stepping
forward on a cooler, doing lateral stepovers on a cooler.
There's all kinds of different movements. You can do, but
you're gonna need to build up that leg strength and
good luck in August.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
Nice wow, anything to add to that go out and
run one hundred miles.
Speaker 5 (31:59):
That don't do it?
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Yeah, but if it's a flat hunter, you're still going
to be hurting.
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Yeah, there's really nothing that compares us to just stepping
up on things.
Speaker 4 (32:10):
Yeah that's right, man, being that you won this hunt
once in a lifetime type thing, most likely, maybe plan
on making a trip out to Colorado and go for
a hike or two.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
Maybe a couple weeks before you're hunt.
Speaker 1 (32:22):
Yeah, that's right. If he's not paying for anything, he
should fly out to some high country and do some
mega hiking. That's a great.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
Definitely try and get up to the elevation and yeah,
put a pack on. I mean, you can work on
a step on a cooler all day long, but nothing
gets you trained in the mountains more than just being
in the mountains.
Speaker 1 (32:41):
Yeah, make sure you got some sheep feet trained up too.
Speaker 2 (32:44):
And it's nice because he knows when he's going sheep hunting,
so he knows when he can stop working out. See
the rest of us are all sort of like floating
around here waiting for the sheep hunt. But he has
a finish line in sight when he can just go
back to being a total slob.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
After the hunt.
Speaker 1 (33:03):
Yeah, exactly right, just let it all hang out.
Speaker 2 (33:05):
Yeah, just suffer, suffer for a couple of Months' good question,
you honest? Do you have any any comments here?
Speaker 7 (33:12):
These?
Speaker 2 (33:13):
This is our stand in for comments from the chat.
It's a new new thing we're doing on not live
media to Radio Live.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
We recently have done a new it's not a new series.
We've we've added some episodes to this series, Mediator Experiences.
We did what it takes to lose zero. We did
one called the brush Gun. Have we released anything else yet?
Speaker 3 (33:40):
Two seventy seven Fury?
Speaker 1 (33:41):
All right, the seventy seven Fury. We're random basically told
us about it to seventy seven Fury, and then we
took that cartridge and shot a lot of a bunch
of a bunch of different mediums in super slow motion,
which was fun. But we didn't do it wrong. According
to a lot of these comments here on YouTube, Eric
(34:01):
AA five to one says, you all missed the point
of a brush gun. It's to carry, walk and hunt
in the brush. Not I think he missed the word
shoot through brush, short light, easy to get on target,
no glass thirty thirty forty five, seventy forty four, Mag
three fifty seven. See a theme here, Southeast hunter. Here
(34:23):
would so thick thirty yards is a long shot at
time guns, at bowl range, hunting, clearcut, timber lots.
Speaker 2 (34:32):
So you did get it wrong.
Speaker 3 (34:33):
Great point.
Speaker 1 (34:34):
Yeah, which I think that we spoke to that in
our brushgun video.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
There are multiple definitions.
Speaker 1 (34:41):
And that not only is it meant to be able
to be the gun easily manipulated in brush country, but
that the bullet has to be it has to perform
well in the brush. I'm not going to tell you
the outcome of our brush gun video. Go watch it.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
I've got one here that's sort of long, similar lines.
It reads, shut up Randal Randall's getting a little more
annoying every episode. Here's another one. Doctor Randall is insufferable.
I mute it when he opens his mouth. Good thing.
The questions were posted at the bottom of the screen.
It's obviously he's trying to win the who can be
most in love with him self contest that nobody has
(35:21):
for And then one more here, it's find a good
one here.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Get a positive one?
Speaker 2 (35:27):
Eh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 6 (35:32):
Or you know, he doesn't have to be positive as
long as it's insaneful.
Speaker 2 (35:35):
Randall, What an idiot? Okay, yeah, Randall, classic me generation
not getting what they deserve. There's another what an idiot?
Doctor Randall should go back to questions.
Speaker 1 (35:45):
Yeah, I don't understand why they why they don't like you.
Is it because you are the smartest guy in the
room and they just gotta they just gotta try to
take down.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
No, it's because I'm conceited. It's because I'm conceited. They
hate you see right through me because they ain't you.
They know what I'm thinking and what I think of myself.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Well, don't read those comments.
Speaker 2 (36:07):
We got another question here. This one comes Phil. I
got you with that transition. Got another question here. This
is from a meat eater Trivia All Star Questions submitter
Leland hart Hey. He says, I lead a local conservation group.
I'm always talking up hunting and angling to people I meet.
For some reason, this appears to make me a magnet
for people telling me about how they've broken game loss.
(36:30):
It's happened at least three times. Poachers apparently see my
BHA and meet eater merchant. Think I'm going to tell
this guy about unlicensed night hunting in a day hunting
only state for game out of season, or let me
tell you how I pulled a fast one by hunting
against regulations and got away with it. How would the
meat Eater team deal with confessions of wrongdoing told to
you in earnest? And to answer this question, here's Chester Floyd.
Speaker 11 (36:55):
Oh yes, buddy, Chester Floyd here coming at you from
Wiscon And I about another chettaquit for you. This week's
chettaquit comes to us from Leland Hart. Leland writes, and
what the hell is from going on with this? I
have a chettiquet question? Can we stroud hunter, angler and
(37:16):
outdoorsmans talk about giants?
Speaker 2 (37:20):
H Yeah?
Speaker 11 (37:22):
And I'm always talking up hunting and angling with the
people I meet. For some reason, this appears to make
me that's a magnet for people to tell me about
how they've and.
Speaker 2 (37:33):
Now they're going to know and remember, now they're going
to know that I read an abbreviated version of the question.
Speaker 11 (37:37):
Coachure is apparently.
Speaker 6 (37:40):
Everything's going fine.
Speaker 11 (37:43):
About unlicensed night hunting in a day hunting only state
for game that's out of season, and I don't have
a tag for anyways and quotes. Let me tell you
how I pulled a fast one by hunting against regulations
on a military base and got away with a trespassing such.
Speaker 6 (38:05):
Any real consequences, and so I get to be the standard.
Speaker 11 (38:10):
I tried to make this every educational moment. When it happens.
At least one of the people was just ignorant of
the law. The others seemed oddly proud of their misbehavior.
I didn't hear anything actionable by law enforcement, just historical.
I did this a while ago.
Speaker 1 (38:29):
Stuff.
Speaker 11 (38:30):
Obviously, if I anticipated a crime, I would report it.
But it is a weird spot to be in. How
would the meat Eater team deal with confessions of wrongdoing
told to you in earnest down and you goes redneck
(38:58):
crowd pulo kinds of people good and sound, scept a
couple of boys who were up to no good causing all.
Speaker 7 (39:07):
Kinds of trouble in the hood. Feeling your approachabule guys wild,
the boys spear the poaching cries. Sitting here thinking on
what you must do?
Speaker 12 (39:21):
How bad confessions told to you.
Speaker 7 (39:26):
Like guy pulled the fast one on the neighbor's plays,
and I pulled fast one on the military base and.
Speaker 12 (39:41):
I pulled the fast one. I thought you should know
when I pulled a fast one, call me no good.
Speaker 5 (39:53):
Cub excellent camera work.
Speaker 2 (40:06):
Yeah, you can feel the emotions.
Speaker 13 (40:09):
And it's story flies or he's telling white lies. You
gotta boot him in.
Speaker 7 (40:14):
His please you say all those acts.
Speaker 13 (40:17):
If bone of fire facts, I'm gonna burn you down someday. Yeah,
they're gonna burn you down someday. Oh yeah, they're gonna
burn you down someday.
Speaker 5 (40:38):
Is he just memorized?
Speaker 6 (40:39):
I think, so this is insane.
Speaker 2 (40:41):
I know it's maybe it's written on the top of
his guitar.
Speaker 1 (40:45):
That's why it's so big.
Speaker 13 (40:49):
You goes red neck crowd watching with all kinds of
people in sound.
Speaker 5 (40:57):
Said a question.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Good And.
Speaker 11 (41:12):
I hope you like that little song and hopefully it
gave you a little bit of ideas on what to do.
But I think teaching people and making it an educational moment,
really letting them know, like what the heck, dude, like
you cannot do that stuff and that's going to come
back to burn you in Why are you telling me this?
(41:33):
But if somebody has done something like crazy bad which
these guys have, but like just insane, like you've got
to report it to the d n r Uh. They're
in a bar drinking and stuff in this circumstance. So
I'm not quite sure you know how truthful this is,
but it's really use your best judgment, make it educational.
(41:56):
Let them know that they have done wrong.
Speaker 3 (42:01):
Well said, Well done man.
Speaker 2 (42:06):
What do you guys thinking to add? Old Chastaro can't
top that? But he's right, ghanis.
Speaker 1 (42:17):
Uh no, yeah, I would not worry about keeping them
as friends and just get right in their face. Let
him know what's up. Wrong is wrong.
Speaker 2 (42:27):
Tough love, tough love.
Speaker 1 (42:28):
Baby, you had some more funny comments for me, you know.
Speaker 2 (42:35):
I've got another one here. Randall looks nothing like he sounds.
I would have guessed an old, gray haired man with
glasses in his late sixties. There's another one. I figured
he based off Randall's voice. I figured he was twenty
five years older than he appears to be. That's whack.
(42:56):
Everyone says, uh, sorry, Randall, you're not a doctor. Just
didn't with a degree.
Speaker 4 (43:01):
Oh that stings a little eh yeah, yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (43:06):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I let's still a compliment. Sandwich here Hey, Y're honest.
I thoroughly enjoy when you host radio radio meat Eater
Radio Live.
Speaker 6 (43:16):
The compliments about you.
Speaker 1 (43:18):
It reminds me of old meat Eater. I'm not saying
there's anything wrong with the way meat Eater is now,
but when you host, it has a very like, hey man,
we did this, it was awesome. You should try this
feel to it anyway, keep being awesome? Does that make
you feel any better?
Speaker 2 (43:34):
No, because I think they're comparing it to not that
there's anything wrong with the new meat Eater where they
talk about Bennegan's. But I think that's the new meat Eater.
I don't know. Maybe that's just more conceited talk on
my part.
Speaker 1 (43:52):
Don't be so conceited, Corey.
Speaker 2 (43:55):
You want to how many questions we got left on
the list here? Oh gosh, what do we got?
Speaker 10 (44:00):
Two?
Speaker 2 (44:00):
Three?
Speaker 3 (44:01):
Got a few more?
Speaker 2 (44:02):
No, I was wondering how many you wanted me to
read from? Oh?
Speaker 1 (44:05):
Well, I think we got a little bit of time.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
Yeah yeah, how about this one? Uh? Should I read
the question or just play the video?
Speaker 6 (44:12):
How about we just played the video? Let's play the
video Phil with our like it's going to be the
one video where they don't the question first, let's find
out here's Tyler Jones.
Speaker 14 (44:20):
The question is how do I scout for bucks nailed
for shooting those bucks in the first three weeks of October.
I have no major ag food sources. Instead, it's oak trees.
There's two ways that I could look at this and
do most of the time. And let's break it down
into the first two weeks, which are going to be
more patterable stages of a deer's life, and then that
(44:41):
last week of the three week span in October. You're
getting towards the middle of October and into the twenties,
and deer get a little more pre run, little more
testosterone increase there. So we'll talk about those in that order.
The first section the patternable deer. These deer are not
going to move super far. They're going to be near bedding,
so thick areas, and then they're going to be feeding
(45:01):
on oaks in close proximity, not moving a ton in
the daylight.
Speaker 5 (45:05):
Usually it makes them pretty tough.
Speaker 14 (45:07):
Trail cameras are a big part of finding these deer
before this moment actually happens, right so August September, getting
trail cameras out near thick batting where there's oak trees.
Another thing you can do is when you actually go
in to hunt is listen carefully because we're looking for
the first oak trees to start dropping, which doesn't happen
(45:28):
at the first of October sometimes depending on the year.
So we're looking to hopefully get those deer that are
moving to the same sound that we're hearing in the woods,
which is acorns dropping and getting under those first few trees.
The second part of this is the rut or pre
rut rather but rut like movement where we get into
a pinch point near a scrape, and that's a situation
(45:50):
I like a lot. In fact, in twenty twenty, I
killed a deer on the twenty third of October just
outside that window. But he had showed up on a
scrape for the first time on this trail camera on
the s sixteenth. So as we get cold weather in
that third week, we're looking to shoot deer dear scrapes
in pinch points, banking on the fact that they're moving
just a little bit more before dark.
Speaker 3 (46:10):
Hope this helps.
Speaker 1 (46:12):
Thanks for that great answer, Thank you, Tom Tyler.
Speaker 4 (46:17):
And I was distracted by all the awesome taxi Durmy
behind him.
Speaker 3 (46:20):
I wonder if he's in.
Speaker 1 (46:21):
His house or if he's at a garage. Maybe he's
got a lot of bucks. And those boys like to
do taxi.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Jeremy, Yes they do. I'm about to go pick up
a little piece of tax We.
Speaker 1 (46:35):
Can tell us about it.
Speaker 2 (46:36):
It's a shoulder mount of that bear I killed in
Alaska two years ago.
Speaker 3 (46:41):
Oh nice, another shoulder mounted bear.
Speaker 1 (46:43):
Cool.
Speaker 2 (46:43):
Yeah, well the other shoulder mounted bears in Chilli's office.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Yeah, that's more of a neck mount too.
Speaker 1 (46:49):
Yeah, yeah, you're just gonna be I actually have come
to like those neck mounts. I saw something in Canada
when I was up there, and I'm coming to like
them because I like them because they're manageable and they're.
Speaker 2 (46:59):
Still I already have a big bear rug on the wall,
don't really have room for another one.
Speaker 1 (47:04):
Well, should take it down and put it on the floor.
Speaker 2 (47:06):
This is a wall pedestal, so it incorporates more of
the sternum and chest, so it'll be coming out of
the wall, and you know, it's sort of it looks
more like a like amount of deer where you get
some of that because some of the bear neck mounts
they just look like you stuck it on the wall.
Arms included No, no, no, but I'm still excited at
(47:31):
a big nog. And so what I really wanted to
look at and remember was the size of its head.
And I saw a photo of it, and it looks
pretty spot on when I compare it to the photos.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
From would that run you.
Speaker 2 (47:44):
Do on Doug numbers?
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Does your wife like twelve hundred dollars?
Speaker 5 (47:48):
Oh that's it's not bad?
Speaker 2 (47:51):
Yeah, yeah, I thought it was reasonable. Yeah, but that's
also why I don't do any other tax dur me.
Speaker 1 (48:00):
Mm hmm. It's expensive.
Speaker 2 (48:02):
Man.
Speaker 1 (48:03):
It is always said, rather go on another hunt, then
get a get a buck mounted. All right, Can we
ask the beer drinking question now?
Speaker 2 (48:13):
Yeah, sure, Travis t And this actually is a real one.
Why do I feel like everybody off camera is drinking beers?
And why are they hiding it?
Speaker 1 (48:23):
This was a question on a on a meteor Roast
episode that was Phil kracking a beer. He's not hiding it.
We don't hide it. Who do you want to take this?
You want me to take it? Why don't you take it?
I'll start you feel inspired. Nobody off camera is drinking beers.
(48:45):
Anybody off camera is working, so they're they're they're not
drinking beers. In the rare cases that we are drinking
beers and there is some sort of video recording going on,
it's usually towards the end the day. Maybe your roast
episode is a glaring yeah, an anomaly. But for the
(49:09):
most part, the cameras are put away, the days wrapped up.
We're not working anymore, we're relaxing, but something still funny
happens or whatever, and we get a phone out and
it's recorded. Because I've gotten that a lot too, where
they're just like, man, you're so fired up and happy,
you must be drinking beers. I'm not not drinking beers
(49:32):
on camera.
Speaker 6 (49:33):
Also, that can I just cracked was a sparkling juice drink.
Speaker 2 (49:37):
That's because I drink all the beers.
Speaker 1 (49:42):
What do you say to that, Corey, You've been on
some production sets now recently in the last year in
your new role.
Speaker 4 (49:49):
Yeah, I can't say I ever saw an open container
while we were working. But afterwards, now, because you gotta
work hard, you gotta play hard. Yeah, like we've cracked
a couple of cold ones afterwards, but yeah, never during.
Speaker 1 (50:05):
Yep, nothing to add. Randall Randall's not hiding it, as
you guys can see.
Speaker 6 (50:11):
And also I'm not being whole holier than thou. At
my previous job, the office was attached to a brewery.
They had a deal with them that I got a
free beer every day, and on Thursdays we got three
free beers what not. Every every Thursday, the first Thursday
of every month, we got three free beers. So but
and I also worked the graveyard shift, so I would
(50:34):
start off my shift by drinking a double I p a,
then go edit audio for eight hours, and then on
Thursday the first Thursdays. I mean, I don't know how
I got worked out, but I did. Yeah, Yeah, I
was good at it.
Speaker 2 (50:47):
I worked. I worked across the tracks from that same brewery, Phil,
I didn't get any free beers.
Speaker 6 (50:53):
I'm sorry I missed that brewery. I was thinking about it,
but I did go there a lot. So shout out
to the Draft Forcks in Missoula.
Speaker 1 (51:00):
Oh buddy, I've never been to their brewery, but I
sure do you like their beer?
Speaker 2 (51:04):
Homeboy from Home, Away from Home, love it. We got
another question here that goes to Jordan. But and I
don't know if she's repeated the question, So I'll just
say play the tape.
Speaker 8 (51:19):
Phil got a question from Cameron Bocoff nice and he
just bought his first white tail tag and wants to
know what are some must haves for first white tail hunt.
So what I would suggest, more than anything tangible is
shoot whatever weapon that you're going to use. Become super
(51:40):
super proficient with that. In the end, that's what it's
gonna come down to, and it's going to probably happen
pretty quick. So being proficient and comfortable with whatever you
use and is probably the most important. Beyond that, whitetail
is a pretty stationary sport, so I'll get some good
clothes to be able to sit longer.
Speaker 6 (51:59):
So that's what I got for.
Speaker 1 (52:05):
Top notch advice from a white tail outfitter.
Speaker 2 (52:08):
Let me add to that, please, safety harness.
Speaker 1 (52:12):
M m. That's a good one.
Speaker 3 (52:15):
If in a tree, yeah, safety first.
Speaker 2 (52:18):
Don't go climbing trees without safety harnesses, folks.
Speaker 1 (52:22):
And these days they have the lifelines as well. It's
basically a static rope that's attached above your tree stand
and at the base and so that you where you're
attached the whole time while you're climbing, must have pieces
of gear for his first white tail hunt.
Speaker 6 (52:45):
Hm.
Speaker 2 (52:46):
If you'd asked nineteen year old Randall, I would have
told you three bottles of scent killer.
Speaker 6 (52:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (52:54):
I don't really believe in that too much either, must
have pieces of gear for his first white tail man,
it's so very I don't have no idea where his
hunt's going to be, how cold he's going.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
To be, Yeah, I mean how hot he's going to be,
depending on where he's hunting. I'd say a fifty pounds
bag of corn, some old apples.
Speaker 1 (53:15):
Maybe maybe it's really vague. Sharp knife. You gotta be
able to gotten gut chop up your deer after he
gets it. But what else to help him be successful? Binoculars?
You don't really have to have buyos in the white
tail woods.
Speaker 4 (53:33):
Something to help keep you a patient, assuming maybe in
a tree.
Speaker 3 (53:38):
Maybe a good.
Speaker 1 (53:38):
Book, yeah, a good book and some good snacks.
Speaker 2 (53:42):
We're just one earbud to listen to meat Eat Radio live.
Speaker 1 (53:47):
Yeah. I don't support that.
Speaker 6 (53:50):
We get a lot of people in the chat saying
that they're sitting in a tree stand or sitting against
a tree waiting for turkeys listening to radio. That seems
irresponsible if you're trying to be in a fish but hey,
thanks for listening.
Speaker 2 (54:02):
Might get you in the mood though, Right.
Speaker 1 (54:05):
You're already out there. If you're not in the mood,
might not be the right thing for you.
Speaker 6 (54:14):
Point.
Speaker 2 (54:14):
Yeah, they listen to you, honest. If you're not happy
to be out there, go home. Yeah, go pick up
golf save it for the rest of us. That's right,
you got more, Randall. I think that's it for questions, Phil,
How are we doing on time here?
Speaker 6 (54:31):
We're doing great on time. We can we can uh
head for the final lap.
Speaker 1 (54:34):
Here, but there's there's no uh, there's no chat room questions.
Speaker 6 (54:39):
Mogor says, we're doing a great job. Keep it up.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
Thanks more.
Speaker 3 (54:43):
We really needed that one.
Speaker 2 (54:45):
Yeah, I'm trying to look what an idiot doctor Randall?
Speaker 7 (54:49):
Uh?
Speaker 1 (54:51):
Hold on, I think we need to look at your
meat eat or roasts episode.
Speaker 2 (54:54):
Ry we all love to hate. I mute it when
he opens his mouth.
Speaker 6 (55:00):
Is that one real?
Speaker 2 (55:01):
What's up with the wig? Yeah? No, someone actually did
say these are all real? All right, Well, before we go,
we have an important call to action starting next week
because today is June nineteenth, I'm talking June twenty sixth here.
Speaker 1 (55:18):
Okay, hold on, hold on. I'm sorry I had to interrupt,
but since we're not doing this live, it's fine.
Speaker 2 (55:23):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (55:24):
I am going to compliment sandwich to help with your conceitedness,
to bring you up, because I want you to leave today,
you know, not down loan, So right here, noah ratchaw.
This is from Randall and Spencer's roast episode. You guys
did a great job on you could lost one of
(55:45):
you better than you lost. Yeah, Spencer is a tough,
tough but this fella, says Randall, Slamming a beer to
open a cooking show makes it feel like it's a
deer Camp cookoff and I love it.
Speaker 6 (56:00):
I've got I've got some too. This is from Last
the Rat Radio live from a couple of weeks ago.
Guys with hundreds of beavers, says, came here just to
comment on the movie Club. Outstanding all caps, Doctor Randall,
you have set a new bar and I look forward
to the next one. Wow. Hashtag proud Randamal we have
Randall is a national treasure. Oh that's from Nick, he
(56:21):
works for us.
Speaker 15 (56:23):
Oh oh that's Randall. Probably bought that newt a beer
that's brutal. What about this? I love all the Rose Shows. No, yeah,
I love all the Rose Shows, but I loved this one.
But he's kind of the same thing.
Speaker 1 (56:37):
Anyways. Randall always adds extra to everything he does. Okay,
here's here's another one. In quotes you like, I said,
don't don't eat all of them? Is that a movie quote?
Speaker 2 (56:51):
No, that's from when I told them not to eat
the potatoes. Oh okay, because some of the potatoes were well.
Speaker 1 (56:56):
He says, I want another episode with Randall next one.
Danel cracks me up, like, if you have four potatoes,
pick the one that looks most done. What a good sport?
Speaker 3 (57:05):
Great sport?
Speaker 2 (57:06):
See Doctor Randall's the worst stop it.
Speaker 6 (57:10):
Jamis says I was moving on. Jameson says, I would
like to thank whatever mechanism at Meat Eater, and maybe
even just the universe for giving Randal the rain and
more importantly, the confidence. I'm stressing that part editorially to
follow through with whatever meta concept that just had me
laughing to tears in my truck.
Speaker 2 (57:27):
Randall's previous comments about being depressed after losing Trivia and
coming home to his wife all said is honestly concerning
to hear.
Speaker 1 (57:38):
So for all you, Randal, for all you randall fans
se gave you a good one to end. I do
you think we shoul right?
Speaker 2 (57:44):
I do think we should. We should read some more
comments like that. It's kind of fun.
Speaker 1 (57:48):
Oh, I love it. It's hilarious, as I was saying.
Starting next week, June twenty sixth, we will be doing
a monthly trailcam photo contest presented by our friends at Moultrie.
We are asking you, our viewers, to send us your
unique trailcamphotos.
Speaker 2 (58:05):
This go around. We're looking for your funniest trailcamphotos. Send

our June twenty sixth show. That's between today, June nineteenth
and next Thursday, June twenty sixth, and we'll select two
