Huntin' Easterns
AB3 covers a variety of topics in today’s episode, from turkey hunting to grilling to baseball.
Episode Highlights
- AB3 remembers his father, Adam Bryant Jr.
- Similarities between hunters and baseball players
- Hunting deer and grilling on the Traeger
- Why AB3 hates hunting Easterns
3 Key Points
- There are many traits that hunters, especially bowhunters, and baseball players have in common. Obviously, both require a lot of the same skills and disciplines. In fact, a lot of baseball players are bowhunters themselves and love outdoor adventures in general.
- There are tons of ways to enjoy deer; but, AB3 prefers the classics: backstrap and stew. He doesn’t do anything special with the backstrap. For him, experimenting with different seasonings and rubs and grilling the meat until it’s done always makes for tasty wild game.
- Of the big four—Merriam, Rio Grande, Eastern, and Osceola; it has been said that the Easterns and Osceolas are the two toughest to hunt. AB3 has never hunted Osceolas, but says that Easterns are a pain to track because, unlike Merriams and Rios, they “shut the hell up” as soon as you call them.
Three Powerful Quotes
- The big picture, at the end of the day, is folks getting back out in the world and enjoying events. ~AB3
- I hate hunting Easterns because I’ve hunted Merriams and I’ve hunted Rios and, as an average to below-average caller, it’s fun to call Merriams and Rios, but Easterns fly off the roost, hit the ground, and shut the hell up. ~AB3
- Not everything in life has to be hard to be enjoyed. I’m a firm believer that there’s too many people walking around saying if it’s not hard and it’s not a challenge, it’s not rewarding. Bullshit. It can be just as rewarding and just as fun if it was easy and you had a good time doing it. ~AB3
