Yep.
So, I'm Quentin Tresilius.
I run the Full Drop Pursuitspage on Instagram, on TikTok, as

(02:11):
well as full drop pursuits 2.0.
I was born and raised here inWisconsin, and I.
This is primarily where I doall of my hunting is here in Wisconsin.
And then I have startedtraveling outside of the state for
hunting as well.
Right on.
But I noticed you left out onelittle detail, man.
You're also the T.

(02:33):
One of the T dies from Warhead Arrows.
Yes, I am.
I am recently have beenpromoted from a field staff member
of Warhead Arrow, and I am nowthe field staff director for Warhead
Arrows.
Yeah, man.
Which is awesome, becausethat's all we shoot on who's on screen
right now?
I know Brett doesn't, but Ithink just because he's a turd, yeah,

(02:57):
we'll.
Get him off board.
Sooner or later.
He's.
He's got to learn.
He's gotta.
He's gotta get on board.
But, you know, speaking of thewarhead arrows, Geez, I just happen
to have one sitting right here.
Look at time.
Never too far from one either.
Yeah, and of course, we gotthe old Rex on there, too.
Which is another team that youshoot for, Quentin.

(03:18):
Yes.
Which three or four of usshoot wreck?
Pretty sure three out of thefour of us got more than one deer
last year.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Just saying.
Just saying.
I got a deer, so don't eventry and play that.
I did more than one.
I got more than one.

(03:39):
I mean, even a blind squirrelfinds a nut every once in a while,
so.
Oh, look at that.
He left.
No.
Oh, he got hurt.
His feelings got hurt.
He must have left.
Right.
Well, anyways, Quentin,welcome to the whitetail advantage.
Gonna be a fun night.
Yeah.
Let me exit out of this.
Sprock.

(03:59):
We have any comments oranything yet?
Yeah, we got some.
We got Connor on there.
Let's say hello to Connor.
Nice.
What's going on?
Arrows and inches addiction.
He just picked up some Squatch merch.
Good dude, man.
I'm gonna repay the favor.
Get a nice hat from him.
Yeah.
What's going on?
Got the boondocks guy on there.
That guy Mike Nitray.
I think.
I think I know him.

(04:20):
He's.
He's a good story.
He's got another podcastonline there.
Yeah, he sounds familiar.
Yeah, he's one of the OGs fromwhen we all started out with pursuit.
Geez.
That's how we.
That's how I met Quentin, actually.
Yep.
Yep.
So.
So how did you.
Because you two have been herefor a while.

(04:40):
I'm new to the game.
How did you guys start.
But how did you start, Quentin?
How did you get your startinto all of this?
So I.
I was doing social mediabefore Full drop pursuits was even
a thing, before it was even a thought.
It was always kind of a dreamof mine to kind of do the whole social

(05:01):
media thing, show people, youknow, my take on the outdoors and
what I do.
And then in 2018, I took astep away from social media because
I lost one of my good friends.
And I eventually got back intothe social media side, and still,
Full drop pursuits wasn't areal big thing yet.
I didn't even.

(05:22):
It wasn't even a thought in my Mind.
And then probably two yearsago is when I got serious about doing
the whole social media thingand really starting to promote myself
and teaming up with companiesand stuff like that, being on field
staff and whatever else.
And so for I think two yearsnow, Full Drop Pursuits has been

(05:43):
in full swing and I'm happywith how it's been turning out.
It's.
It's been a fun, fun ride.
Oh, man, it.
It seems like it.
It looks like it.
I'm relatively new to thewhole social media thing.
I think April was my two.
No, April was my one year mark.
Okay.
And it was.
You and Squat were like one ofthe first ones that I started following.

(06:05):
I'm like, oh, this is cool.
Because I knew I had zero clueon any of this stuff.
And then I started noticingthat, oh man, there's a whole outdoor
network group.
Like, it's awesome.
And then I just startedreaching out and dude, it just snowball
effect.
And so I've been following youand Sprock since my day one, which
is like not very far or notvery long ago.

(06:28):
But, man, you guys are puttingout awesome stuff and you guys have
been kind of like aninspiration to me.
Be.
Be like, man, I want to go outthere and be like those guys.
Guy in the middle there,Brett, I stumbled upon him.
He's kind of like a.
That redheaded stepchild whereI'm like, yeah, that's cool, maybe
one day, but.

(06:50):
Thank you, thank you.
You know, I think we trippedover Brett and that's how we landed
on him and figured out weshould be on the show, you know,
but yeah, you know, adding.
Adding to that.
Not to cut you off, Johnny,but we were all in a group called
Pursuit Energy and, you know,started talking to Quentin and, and
Quentin's a great guy.
A lot of collaborations overthe years together and got to know

(07:12):
each other and then we finallymet up out in Ohio last year out
of Jason's place, and we, wehunted together and he was fortunate
enough to take a nice buck.
And, you know, it's cool whenyou finally sit down, meet people
face to face that you've beenchatting with online and, you know,
like I said, you know, just.
Just good people all around, man.
And now that he's heading upWarhead, you know, with Jason, that's

(07:32):
a cool deal and, you know, it's.
It's the right choice.
I think Jason made a gooddecision and, you know, you guys
are going to do well foryourselves and helping everybody
out and, you know, I, I thinkit's a great Product.
We stand behind what we shoothere and couldn't be happier, man.
I sent a, I sent a rainthrough a buck last year myself.
So.
Bruce in the pudding, man,that's a good product.

(07:53):
Jason's a down to earth guyjust like you.
And it's good to see after allthe years, you know, we're still
talking, we're still friends,we're still on the same team and
hey, man, you know, so that'sgreat, man.
But tell us, tell us a littlebit more about yourself.
I know you're a big bearhunter and.
Yep.
You know, along with thewhitetails, maybe, maybe you got
something about the bear huntyou want to share.

(08:14):
Yeah.
So bear hunting was alwayskind of a.
A must want to do for me whenI was a kid because I always thought
it was really cool.
And the unfortunate thing withthe great state of Wisconsin is,
is bear hunting is a lottery system.
So you have to apply for acertain amount of years for each
zone that you want to hunt.

(08:34):
So like, the zone that I washunting in originally was, is a 12
to a 14 year poll.
So I had to wait 12 years tobe even considered for drawing a
tag.
So I started applying when Iwas 12 and I drew my first bear tag
when I was 22.

(08:56):
I want to say, if not a little22 or 23, I can't remember, it's
been a few years since I hadthat tag.
But like, I just like theaspect of how much work goes into
it and how rewarding it isbecause, you know, it starts.
I start scouting for bear theminute the snow starts to melt.

(09:17):
When that's kind of when theystart to come out of their density,
find them fresh tracks in thesnow, kind of figure out, okay, they're
probably denning up in here,so they feel comfortable in here
kind of thing.
And, you know, I just reallydive into it and I spend hours and
I walk miles just trying tofind a spot.

(09:38):
And then I got my first bearwith my dad.
It was opening weekend ofarchery season that year, the first
year I had my tag.
And my dad told me, get to theblind because I only had an hour
to hunt that night.
And he's like, I'm gonna goget my deer hunting stuff ready.
And then I was hunting with my rifle.

(09:58):
And he's like, well, if I.
He's like, I'll know if you get.
If a bear comes in becauseI'll hear the gunshot.
And I'm like, yeah, yeah, you will.
And it wasn't 15 minutes ofbeing in the Blind, by myself.
I had my first black bear comein, and I let her have it.
And yes, it.
That was what really hookedme, honestly, was that first hunt,

(10:19):
DIY on public land here.
And since then, I.
I've just gotten really biginto it, and I harvested my second
bear here in Wisconsin.
I'll see if I can do thiswithout screwing up my camera, but
that is my second bear here in Wisconsin.
Oh, man, that's cool.
Look at that white patch inhis chest.

(10:40):
That was cool.
Yeah, I had no idea that thatbear even had it.
You know, he.
I.
I don't think I had him oncamera until the opening day of bear
season.
And then he just was a regularon the bait.
I ended up figuring out wherehe was betting.

(11:01):
He was betting on the islandin the lake I was hunting.
And the night I harvested him,he actually swam across the lake
into my bait.
And then I harvested them afew minutes after he got out of the
water.
Wow.
Now, what did he dress out at, Gwen?
Roughly 275 was dressed.
Weight.
Nice.

(11:21):
That's a nice bear.
That's cool.
That.
Do you eat the meat or do youjust give it away?
You eat the milk, I eat the meat.
Yep.
Cool, man.
Yeah, for me, I like the meat.
It tastes exactly like beef.
Yeah.
Yeah, it definitely does.
I know when you.
When I shot my bear, a lot ofthe old timers told me, hey, when
you get it, get it hung up,make sure you get the fat off of

(11:43):
it right away.
Don't let the fat sit on itgets greasy.
They kind of got, like, a porkfat to them, but, yep, they're unique.
It's good.
I've heard bear meat can kindof taste.
What was the word?
Salty.
Like.
Like, it was very chewy andsalty, and it was just like, ugh.
But obviously, you can saythat with a.

(12:04):
That was like, the main themeI was hearing when people were describing
eating bear.
But people always saysomething weird when you try someone
else's venison or gay meat.
So, yeah, I think, honestly,it's all in how you prepare it.
Because I've never had any issues.
Like, I know with bear meat,you're not.
Like, if you're eating, like,the steaks and stuff, you're not

(12:26):
supposed to have it.
I know a lot of people liketheir steaks rare, medium, rare,
medium.
You know, all that you have totake bear meat to.
Well done.
Like, it has to be fullycooked all the way through because
they carry trichinosis.
And if a human gets it, you'revery sick.
And it's got to be cooked.
So if it's chewy, it wasn't cooked.

(12:48):
Right.
Is that a question or a statement?
Urban Pursuit says, what's up, boys?
He also stated, will bear fatrender down, like, a beef or it's
like deer tallow?
It's like beef tallow.
You can render it down.
You can make lard with it.
I personally don't.
Yeah, I've never tried bear yet.

(13:10):
My dad has, but I haven't yet.
I want to.
I tried venison, obviously.
I tried some elk and a bunchof fish.
I don't think I've ever triedanything outside the.
For game meat besides steak.
I think that was it.
Yeah.

(13:31):
We'll make meatloaf with bear.
That's really good.
Oh, that sounds like a nice.
Nice dish to make with that.
Yeah.
Oh, sorry, Brett.
Go ahead.
No, go.
Go ahead.
No, I was just gonna ask.
I was gonna ask you what,like, what's your favorite cutter
to be the bear?
Is it a roast?
You like a bear roast?

(13:52):
Maybe something with potatoesand carrots?
Crock pot.
Kind of let it go all day kindof thing, or do you do something
different?
I mainly just do, like,steaks, and then I just get the bear
ground up.
That primarily what.
I.
I even do that with my venison.
I don't do nothing reallyhonestly special.
I'm just kind of a ground meatsteak kind of guy.

(14:14):
I'd rather have ground meatand then steaks just because it fills
the freezer faster and it's cheaper.
Yeah, that's cool, man.
Brett's having technicaldifficulty, so we'll carry on, Quentin.
That's all right.
So also, we know you're a heckof a deer hunter.

(14:34):
You're out there slaying thewoods like the rest of us and putting
the time in boots to the ground.
Yep.
Maybe.
Maybe you'd like to discusssome of maybe what you do, Maybe
a little preseason stuff kind of.
What's going on now?
What are you doing to gear upand get ready, bud?
So what I do is, like, I'm.
I currently live in adifferent location than I did last

(14:56):
year, or I still live where Iwas last year, but I have a lot more
time to scout this year than Idid last year because I wasn't currently
living down here duringscouting time, so I kind of lost
a lot of that.
But, like, now that this year,I started scouting in February, we
didn't have a lot of snowhere, so I started scouting scouting

(15:16):
in February.
I think my first cameras wereout middle of February.
So I've been.
I've been on it this year.
I spend a lot of time e.
Scouting, like on Onyx.
And then if I find somethingon Onyx, I will write down the coordinates
and then I will put them intoGoogle Maps.
And then it gives me a littlebit of a different look at the lay

(15:38):
of the land as well off ofGoogle Maps.
And then I just start puttingboots on the ground.
Like, I have well over ahundred hours of scouting in this
year.
I've probably walked 50, 60miles already just, just in scouting
here alone, kind of where I live.
So I'm very thorough when itcomes to my scouting.

(16:01):
And I'm.
My Onyx is just loaded withpins of possible new setups and stuff
like that.
Yeah, I like Onyx myself,especially like when we got out to
Ohio, picking a couple of keypoints, looking up scrapes and stuff
like that.
You know, when we powerscouted, got in there quick.
Just nice, nice feature to have.
I mean, years ago we didn'thave that technology, so makes it

(16:22):
a little bit easier on all of us.
Especially in a new place whenyou can sit there and, you know,
put some pins, waypoints,measure how far you got to walk in,
you know, it'll give you adistance and stuff like that.
So we all, we all benefit from that.
We.
I like it too.
I really do.
That's cool.
Now, do you do anything as faras, like, mineral or stuff?

(16:43):
You can't use minerals whereyou are.
Not, not currently here inWisconsin, I can't.
The part of the state I'm inis a zero bait tolerance, so I cannot
use any minerals.
Okay, I know, I know.
Johnny, he's.
He's put in about 50 or 60miles of scouting for Dick.

(17:05):
You said.
And I just thought of it.
Is that why you were chucklingwhile we were talking?
Oh, you freaking pain in theass, you.
I thought I screwed up or didsomething wrong.
I'm like, what the hell is helaughing about?
Like, did I say something wrong?
I thought, I thought.
That's what I thought of him.
Well, when he finds Dick, Imean, the guy's been missing a long
time.
I hope, I hope he does findhim finally.

(17:27):
I mean, I know he knows thatguy MacGyver out there where he hunts.
But I know he's not on theshow very often and he's putting
a lot of miles for some dick, so.
Oh, boy.
I'll tell you what, I don'tknow if Onyx covers that, though.
Hey, they did just createthat, that fish x so.

(17:47):
Anything'S possible, right?
So, guys, this is the part ofthe show where we start to go downhill
drastically.
Ratings fall, and peoplewonder how the hell two of us got
on a show like this to host.
The live people that tune in.
It looks like there's about a couple.
We're in the double digitsright now, and eventually they'll
just die off because.

(18:08):
It'Ll drift actually down tonegative one, like, in jeopardy.
And, yeah, you know, we'rejust defending all the.
The Pride month people and the demon.
Next thing you know, we'redoing a DIY on how to string your
bow and hope somebody watchesthat or something.
You know, we also lose all ourfactory sponsorship that, you know,
know, we.
Kind of have, and they're kind of.

(18:29):
All right, Brett, why don't you.
Why don't you bring it back anotch, and I'll do my best.
Interesting.
Try to answer.
Give him a nice question toanswer, Mr.
Brett.
Well, we'll do this.
Urban pursuit suits gotquestion they ask new places.
You're scouting or reallydiving into known areas and trying
to dissect details.
That's a really good question.
I like that one.

(18:50):
So last year, I found an areamid season, and I didn't really dive
into that that much justbecause I wasn't quite sure where
the deer were bedding.
I kind of figured it out.
But then in February, afterthe season closed and everything,
I decided to go out one dayand just do a deep dive and get in

(19:14):
there and figure out, okay,where are these deer?
How are they moving it?
Where, you know, where they'rebedding, where they're feeding, what
are they doing?
And I put myself 60 yards outof the game.
The entire season.
I was 60 yards outside ofeverything that I needed to be in.
So I ended up finding a bignatural scrape, and it was located

(19:37):
on a freaking deer highway, basically.
And it.
I.
I ranged it.
The one day my tree was 60yards, and I'm like, well, how can
I not see.
See this?
So I started walking backtowards my tree, and it was just
super, super thick.
And I'm like, okay, now I knowwhat I need to do differently for

(19:59):
this year.
And the number of picturesthat I'm getting have gone up.
The deer sign is far betterthan what I was finding last year.
So, you know, I really dovedeep into where I was hunting last
year and really figured it out.
And I.
I realized that the one treethat I picked out, I pushed in too

(20:22):
close to the bedding.
I was within 30 yards.
30 yards of where Deer werebedding, so I really kind of screwed
the pooch on that one.
And now I know I can't go pastthe circle.
Yeah, I, I, I noticed there'sa tree, so I marked it on onyx.
So I decided I can't go pastthat tree if I want to see see deer.

(20:47):
And when I'm out there hunting.
Yep.
I know for myself.
I try to dissect the areasthat I know more.
Sorry, water down the wrong pipe.
Or maybe it was white water.
We don't know.
Oh, boy.

(21:08):
No, I really try to dissectareas that I know and really, like,
try to know that little corearea as much as possible.
And then by doing so, Ieventually branch out from there
and branch out from there andmove on.
Move on.
Urban pursuit comment.
I'm humble enough to stay justfar enough away from bedding.

(21:28):
Very difficult to hunt closeto beds.
So many variables.
Yeah, it's hard to tell.
It's like, to flirt that finelines, like where it's too close
or when is it too far away?
Kind of like, unless you,like, know for exact fact.
Like, I know for a fact.
I've seen them bedding in there.
How, how far is too far or howclose is too close?
Like, I hunt right next to abedding area.

(21:50):
Like, my core rut area that I hunt.
I am surrounded by beddingarea, like, all around me for buck
areas, for a bed, a doughbedding area.
The dough bedding area isprobably 75, 80 yards away from me.
So it's like I can see it,like, right there.
Is that too close?
Am I just enough away?
It's like, kind of flirtingthat fine line, in my opinion.

(22:12):
Yeah.
Like, I have a spot on thewestern side of the state.
I, I literally, if I can getthe right wind, I can walk directly
past the bedding area, and Iwalk in the beginning part of the
bedding area.
I can sneak in and sneak allthe way around and get up my tree,
and I can actually see deer intheir beds from my tree almost every

(22:37):
time I hunt that spot.
So I'm getting in there quiet.
I'm getting in there the right way.
The wind is right, and I canget in, get set up, and have deer
come.
I can watch deer stand up outof their beds and come in.
So I get lucky in that spot.
Like, this year, I've doveinto new pieces of public.

(22:59):
I've got a spot that's a mileand a half back.
I've got spots that are 200yards from the road.
It just really depended on thehunting pressure sign that I saw
and deer sign.
Deer sign in activity.
I have a question, since we'rekind of talking about rutting the
rut.
Favorite time to hunt duringthe hunting season?

(23:22):
Rut, pre rut, post rut.
Beginning of the archeryseason or beginning of the hunting
season?
I'll say this.
My.
My favorite time to hunt.
You left out nighttime drivingaround with the window down in the
truck with a spotlight.
You didn't.
I was just getting ready tosay that.
Don't ruin.
I know.
I know.
You know, discriminate.
You cannot discriminateagainst Jackie.

(23:45):
I love that first week.
Like, that first week to two weeks.
I like that time.
Don't get me wrong, My bloodgets pumping when it's getting closer
to Halloween and close to theright time, just like everyone naturally
does.
Your mom gets you a costume,and you're all excited about going
out.
Trick or treat.
I get to dress up as, like, acop or a spider man or the Hulk.
It's an awesome time, man.

(24:06):
I get to go ask for trick or treat.
Last year, you were a sheetwith eye holes in it, and you were
Casper.
I mean, I'm just a friendly,so I'm trying to be.
How many snickers did youscore last year?
You got, like, 300.
You told me, like, a lot.
Like a lot.
Let's just say this.
I didn't go hungry.

(24:28):
No, but really did.
Yeah.
You know, your.
Your my favorite time, youknow, is.
Is definitely the rut.
When the rut starts firing upthat pre rut, I think, you know,
we got.
I think it was, like, backafter I got home from Ohio, it really
started firing off here.
It got cold.
We had a full moon rising inthe morning, and, man, it bucks just
came out of the woodwork.

(24:48):
I.
I don't know about you guys,but, man, where I can get into the
bedding areas, by me, there'sno leaves on the ground because it's
all bush hog mode, Old orchard.
So I can slip in real quiet,get up high in those bedding grounds
if the wind's right, and justlet it fly, man.
That's what I look forward to.
I love to rut.
They get stupid during the rut.
You know, I would like to sayif I mispronounce it, I'm sorry,

(25:12):
but it's Kanye 77.
I know it's not Kanye, but Konya.
So you're new to the show, sothanks for tuning in for tonight.
He states, my best success bowhunting in Wisconsin has always been
October 26th through the 30th.
My weird.
I have this weird thing.
If I don't get a deer beforeOctober 18th or like on October 18th,

(25:37):
that's like my lucky deer dates.
I don't know what it is.
I've always, like I said, Ilove the beginning of the part of
hunting season, but likeOctober 18th, 19th, those two days
are like, I feel like it's mylucky day.
Like, if I don't have anythingleading up to that, I'm like, all
right, 18th, 19th, 20 states.
I'm gonna be getting somethingor at least, or at least see something

(25:57):
great.
Don't get me wrong.
But yeah.
Brett, that's Connor.
That's Connor from Arrows andInches Addiction.
He's.
He's pretty popular onInstagram with us.
He, he hits us up a lot.
Oh, nice stuff.
And he, he just, he got somenew Squatch merch from me.
I appreciate it.
And just giving him a shout out.
If you guys don't know him,man, check his stuff out.

(26:18):
He makes some great contentout there.
He's a, he's another, he'sanother fighter for the, the deer
getting popularity.
You know, get his butt out inthe woods and boots to the ground,
guys.
He's making it work.
So just like, welcome to theshow, Connor.
Yeah.
So I have a couple.
So mine would be, I guess,depending on the.

(26:41):
The property that I'm huntingfor opening weekend, it would depend
on if that's my favorite time.
Because, like, if I'm huntinga property and I know I have egg
like that butts right up tothe piece of public I'm hunting,
that's my favorite time to hunt.
Because the bucks are.
The bucks and does are stillon that summer feeding pattern.

(27:02):
So they're pretty easy tofigure out.
And then if I don't, if I'mnot successful that first two week
week or two weeks of archeryseason, I kind of save those spots
then for later and then I kindof just start bouncing around.
Honestly, my favorite time forrut would be the week before our

(27:23):
gun season, which would belike that November 15th time frame.
That's usually when I see mostof my deer movement.
That's actually when I shot myeight pointer two years ago was on
November 15, two day or threedays before our gun season.
That's when I typically see alot of my good rut activity.

(27:46):
Like now or I like thatDecember timeframe.
All everybody's done huntingfor the year.
Public land is just quiet.
Nobody's walking around.
These deer are starting torelax after being Shot at for however
long our gun season is, plus muzzleloader.
And then they got that doehunt that we have.

(28:07):
So they have like three weeks,two and a half weeks of just straight
being shot at with rifles and stuff.
So I like that end of Decembertime frame.
Like Christmas is when I startto see a lot of good deer movement.
Yeah, I.
I hear a lot of that, too.
I.
I don't mean to.
To draw off this topic, but Iremember reading this article.

(28:31):
It's completely off topic,don't get me wrong, but apparently
I was reading this articlefrom Outdoor Life, and they threw
three sheds through, like, the.
The wet the.
Across the west.
And if you find one, it's $10,000.
And there's.
I can't remember.

(28:51):
Let me see here.
So there's a hunter that foundone of them or a shed hunter that
found one of them today.
He.
He was in Utah, recently founda mule deer Shed worth $10,000.
The Cricket Mountain is near Delta.
Wow.
Let me see here.
And who put this on?
Brent?
I'm sorry.
I was reading something.

(29:12):
I don't know.
It says the treasure huntinvolves five.
The treasure hunt involvesfive individual shed antlers that
the company has hidden onpublic land in Arizona, Idaho, Nevada,
New Mexico and Utah.
Onyx did something like that.
Not too long.
Like it was back.

(29:32):
Yeah, I think this is through.
I'll get.
I was trying to see who didit, but.
Okay.
But it says this includes onemoose shed, two elk sheds, and one
and two mule deer sheds, eachspecifically marked.
She had antlers worth $10,000,which can be located by solving riddles

(29:53):
and redeemed in cash or bitcoin.
Oh, I didn't catch that.
I thought you just were outlooking around and you found it.
I didn't see that.
You had to solve riddles andstuff to help find it.
Well, see, that explains whereJohnny and Dave are.
They got mistaken about sheds.
They're at Home Depot andLowe's right now.
And they think they won.

(30:14):
We'll never get them back.
Participants who purchase anannual dedicated subscription at
a cost of $30 also get accessto a series of five riddles, which
offer hints as to where theindividual sheds are hidden in each
state.
I'm curious to see who.
What company, like, did this.
It'd be kind of cool.

(30:36):
It does.
What the heck?
Why can't you do somethinglike that out here in east.
That's kind of.
You're right.
Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana.
We could do the whitetailadvantage treasure hunt, and we could
throw, like, a couple, likeNah, it would never work because
the dnr.

(30:57):
The dn.
Our state dnr would.
Yeah, they put a kibosh to you.
Well, I'm sorry.
No, no, you need a special permit.
And probably you couldcontribute to CWD by dropping a deer's
antler next to a real deer.
Yeah.
You know, you need all thesepermits probably to do that, kind

(31:18):
of.
I think these are all fake, though.
I don't think they're real sheds.
I think they just kind of,like, handcrafted some sheds.
Okay, so you can do like aMackenzie deer target rack and throw
it out.
At least that's what itappears to be able to.
Our DNR would tell us.
We're littering, so theydirect you.
I took it.
Here's your fine, Quenton.

(31:42):
Here's a thousand dollar fineand a loss of hunting license for
one year.
I did think of a really goodidea, though.
We could tie Johnny to a treeand just give five bucks to somebody
who found them.
Be kind of neat.
Give them $5 if they found them.
Yeah, I mean, you know, he'snot worth more than $5.
Really?
I was gonna say, like, let'sjust put them out there and just

(32:03):
say it.
And then they'd be like, allright, we give up.
Where did you guys put them?
We're like, oh, we forgot.
We don't even know we put them.
Out in the woods.
Just put.
Put them in, you know, putthem out to tie them to a tree somewhere.
And then, like, we forgetwhere to where to or like, we lose
the coordinates to where he is.
We're like, all right, youknow, we haven't found him.

(32:23):
We're like, well, we don'tknow where we put him, you know,
and then he shows up, like 20years later with a beard like me.
And.
You remember on that episodefrom Family Guy where Peter Griffin
and his.
And he's.
Him and his buddies were goingup to Canada and he gets lost out
in the woods, and then theyeventually find him and he turns
out to be.

(32:43):
Oh, yeah, remember that?
That's.
That's Johnny whenever he gets found.
No, Johnny's.
Quagmire, man.
Johnny.
Johnny is out of the house.
He explored porn.
And his right arm's massively huge.
He's got, like, one bigmonster arm.
And he's like, wow, you'vebeen in your house quite a while

(33:05):
there, Quagmire Johnny.
What are you up to?
Nothing.
Just looking at the Internet.
Wow, you working out your armsreally big.
I gotta find this video now,because that was hilarious.
That's freaking Johnny.
Johnny.

(33:25):
That's Johnny.
Play it.
Okay, here we go.
Let me see if I can get this.
Come on.
I'm trying, I'm trying.
Hurry up, hurry up.
Share screen.
There we go, here we go.
There we go.
Hey, Quagmire, what do you got there?
It's the new SportsIllustrated swimsuit issue.

(33:46):
Check it out.
Those swimsuit issues don'texcite me like they used to.
I've been spoiled by Internet porn.
It's true.
Totally.
What do you mean, Internet porn?
You don't know about Internet porn?
Don't know what?
I'm not really a computer guy.
Quagmire, I would think you ofall people would know about Internet
porn.
They've got like thousands,literally millions of.
Naked pictures on the Internet.

(34:07):
What?
And videos.
Thousands of them.
You guys are messing with me.
Quagmire, you don't use the Internet.
You mean that crappy dial upthing that's a pain in the ass?
No, I don't use the damn Internet.
I thought that was for nerds.
Why didn't you guys tell me?
Oh, yeah, you can even seeTanya Harding's honeymoon video on
there.
I mean, it's gross, but it'slike famous gross, Quagmire.

(34:27):
Hey, nobody's seen you in days.
Hey, Peter, I've just beenchecking out some of that Internet
porn.
I'm good, I'm good.
I'm just gonna go, go and check.
My mail over there.
No, no, I don't think.
Oh, yeah, I'm sorry, Peter, I gotta.

(34:48):
I gotta get back.
Definitely.
Johnny, Johnny, this is ahunting show.
Our off show.
Do we ever freaking reallystay on topic?
Never.
That's a good point.
Is with Edd, we can'tconcentrate on what we're doing.
I.
I know.
We do actually have a showdedicated to where we're not going
to talk about anything hunting related.

(35:09):
We're just going to talk aboutthe most random off topic in like,
a couple weeks.
Like that episode.
It's nothing hunting related.
We're just going to talkabout, like, why is the grass green?
And like, do you believe inwater being wet and all this stupid.
I don't know, dude, this is,this is the campfire.
We're like, you know, exactly.
It's nothing scripted.

(35:29):
We're just like off thefreaking charts.
We do what we want to do andsomewhere we come back to hunting
and strategies and talkingabout what people have done, but
we get off on a tangent sometime.
Good point, good point.
Like me and my squirrel eventof shed hunting.
I don't know.
Yeah, you.
You went on that freakingrabbit hole.

(35:51):
Yeah, I started the rabbit hole.
I apologize for that, Quentin.
I'm just a dick.
All right, let's shift gears.
Quentin.
What kind of, what kind ofstuff do you use?
What's your, what's your, yourgo to bow?
Like, you know, I know youlove flinging them moreheads.
So what do you shoot?
So I'm currently running ahoyt carbon spider zt and that's
the 30 inch axle to axle.

(36:13):
I just recently put a Trophyridge Digital React Pro 1 sight on
there.
That thing is that it's lights out.
I love that site.
Super easy to sight in.
Took me five minutes to do it,no sight tapes required.
And then just running a normalQAD HDX drop away rest on there.

(36:33):
And then I shoot, obviouslyWarhead arrow.
I'm running the rain 250s andthen I'm running the exothermic 3
hundreds.
And then for broadheads, Ishoot rec broadheads, all three broadheads
that they have to offer.
I shoot the HXP XP and the FX4.
Yeah, a little spoiler I hearis something in the prototype works

(36:56):
coming out maybe for fall.
He's got something in the works.
So can't wait to see what,what Alex is going to drum up for
us to maybe look forward to inthe fall.
If not, man, I'm throwing theold reliable FX fours.
I'm a fixed blade kind of guy.
Nothing against the otherones, but just love the way they
fly.

(37:16):
They're like a big muzzy onsteroids, man, but just a hell of
a lot better.
They fly better, cut better.
Right, right down, man.
You know you shoot them?
Yeah, yeah.
You know, we, we like them, man.
We definitely like our stuffand so that's cool.
And then when you go to coming.

(37:36):
Out with some new.
What are they coming out with?
Talk.
Talk.
They got like three new treestands, a new stick.
It's called the Hydro.
And then they got.
I think it's in their versionof a stick.
It's the C3.
And I think another couple ofthem are harnesses.
I don't think it was.
I one might be a saddle, Idon't know.

(37:57):
But they come out June 25thand now I'm just like kid on a candy
store.
I can't freaking wait.
I'm glad I didn't buy it.
I'm glad I didn't buy anysticks or anything yet from them.
I'm looking forward torevamping my setup a little bit from
what I've gone to and, hey,man, Shameless.
Plug out the xop, Byron.
And.
And thanks to Dave, our coPart here on the show, even though

(38:19):
he's been MIA a lot, he hookedus up with that.
That connection with XOP and,you know, good products.
Don't get me wrong, those X2sare great.
No, nothing against anythingthey make.
Those are great.
But it's awesome.
I can't wait to see what theycome out with because, oh, man, that
was like, their very first stick.
I think they came out with.
If I remember right.
I don't think they haveanother one.
And Besides the.

(38:40):
Those x3 ones and.
And those ones.
But these ones just look more badass.
I mean, you're alreadystarting off.
You're starting line is like,way the up top.
How are you gonna, like, improve?
Yeah, sound curious.
They're gonna improve, and I'mcurious to see.
Yeah, you know, I'm waitingfor them to come out with something

(39:01):
like the acorn stairlift for,like, older guys like me that just
don't even want to climb andjust hit a button.
You sit in the chair, and itkind of sends you up the tree, and
then all of a sudden, at 20ft,you're magically there, and you're
like, hey, this is great.
Didn't even bring.
You actually do have somethingout there like that.
Yeah, I kind of seen somethingmore like that.
Yeah, it's like the iTech.
Something like that.

(39:22):
Some company made it.
It's mainly designed forpeople with.
I'm disabled.
Handicapped.
Disabled.
Like, they're kind of paralyzed.
Yep.
I'm disabled mentally.
So, yeah, I'm here, butphysically in the legs, mainly.
So where are we at?
Where.
What.

(39:42):
What questions haven't weasked this professional expert outdoorsman
that we are so blessed to haveon the show with us?
What.
What can we ask him that wouldmaybe make him think for a second.
Mister, why do you look so hot?
Who's that?
Yeah, it does.
He does look like he'ssweating over there.
No, not like, physically.
I'm just saying, like, he justlooks sexy.
Like, oh, oh, saw that wedding ring.

(40:05):
I'm like, man person is just alucky person.
Yeah, Mar that sex demon.
It's something about camouflage.
I'm telling you, man, I wasborn this way.
Let me ask you this, though.
I know Wisconsin on my ownpersonal board of, like, states that

(40:26):
I want to hit hunting.
Well, wrap it up here withthis question before the rapid fire
segment.
Tennessee is like, number onebecause of the.
The value at least I see init, because I've read A lot of articles
where it says like that theybelieve the next world record is
going to come out of there.
And just like the homefeelings I have towards it because
my wife's from Tennessee.

(40:46):
I've been down to Tennessee alot my life, twice now actually,
so.
But Tennessee is very high onmy list.
I want to go hunt Illinois andwe're going to do Indiana this year
the team and Ohio is kind ofis up there as well as long as along
with Missouri.
But Wisconsin and Minnesotaare up there as well.

(41:06):
Quentin, let me do this to you.
You heard the other states Ijust mentioned that I want to go
to.
I don't know what outside of Indiana.
That's gonna be my first Istate hunt.
I'm gonna try to go to anotherstate fairly close.
Let's just do this.
Wisconsin, Illinois and Ohio.
My wife, if she finds out goto Missouri or Tennessee for a hunting
trip, she might be like, don'tbe coming back for a while until

(41:29):
you get a deer.
Why should I pick Wisconsinout of all those states?
Why should I pick Wisconsin asmy next state to go out of state
hunt?
Well, I guess I could saydon't come here.
No, I'm kidding.
We say that about Michigan.
So that's how you feel.

(41:50):
Don't come to Michigan hunt.
Not just because we don't wantyou guys to hunt hunt Michigan.
It's just because it's a shitshow here.
I mean, I guess it wouldreally depend if you're wanting to
do it yourself or if you'rewanting to go to like an outfitter,
I guess or you know, we'redoing some friends and.
We'Re going public landhunting public.
So I guess it would depend onif you're wanting to go.

(42:14):
I know Wisconsin has a bunchof public land depending on where
you look like where I'm at,you gotta drive for public land.
It's in the or.
I have a buddy that has goodor has a good private property.
Basically.
Why should I come to Wisconsinin either facet of it?
I have a buddy that hunts there.
I can hunt there on theirprivate property or public land,

(42:34):
whatever.
I'm not gonna go to an outfitter.
I'm just gonna go local type deal.
I mean, well, I'll put it this way.
So I've.
I've hunted out of out ofWisconsin twice.
And the first time I huntedout of Wisconsin I was 12.
My grandpa took me to South Dakota.
I shot two deer out there.
I loved it.

(42:55):
And then I got to be goodfriends with Jason, the owner of
warhead arrow.
And it was more of anexperience type of thing.
And I didn't know I was gonnafall in love with the terrain out
in Ohio.
I personally think it's anexperience thing, and it's kind of
up to each person.
Like, I could give you a bunchof reasons why I love hunting Wisconsin,

(43:17):
but that might not fall intoline of why you.
Why you would like it.
You know, it.
It's kind of a personalpreference kind of thing.
Like, do I think the huntinghere in Wisconsin is good?
Depending on what part of thestate you're in, yes, it's good.
And it can also be very bad.
Like, if you go to northernWisconsin, good luck.
Don't count on me being therebecause I don't feel like wrangling

(43:41):
with wolves.
West, the western side of thestate is really good.
There's a lot of ag.
You have a lot of naturalforests there too.
Good quality deer there.
I loved hunting the westernside of the state because it made
me feel like I was back up innorthern Wisconsin, Just the type
of land there is.
And then there's parts of thewestern side where you actually don't

(44:03):
think that it is actually Wisconsin.
And it looks like somethingcompletely different.
So you have a wide variety ofdifferent habitats here in the state
that offer different hunting styles.
Like where I hunt, it's a marsh.
Where I hunt on the westernside, it's a pine woods and mixed
in with hardwoods.

(44:24):
And then some parts of thewestern side of the state are all
bluffs.
So it's like you're gonna findelevation, you're gonna find swamps,
you'll find marshes.
It's kind of.
Kind of a personal preferencething and more of an experience thing,
really.
Yeah, I know.
I don't know.
I've been through Wisconsinfrom top to bottom, the entire state

(44:46):
one time, and that was acouple years ago.
I at least know the northernpart of Wisconsin.
I grew up in a up, so I know alot of that northern part is very
similar to the up because ittranslates right over there.
So the wolf parts, I get thatbecause my dad had a lot of encounters
with wolves when he washunting up in the up.
I can see how that terrain upthere take the wolves away out of

(45:08):
it.
It's very.
It just seems very difficultto hunt up there because it's so
isolated in the.
The marshness of it all up there.
And I'm just going off of whatI've seen in the up because I feel
like it just kind of like justpushed itself over Into Wisconsin,
too.
It just seems very desolatearea to hunt and extremely hard.

(45:28):
I mean, I feel like it's likeour version of like Vermont.
Like you hear about Vermont,all you can do is like tracking type
deal up in that area.
It's a version of it too, butyou can still like, sit in a tree
stand type hunt.
I feel like if you really wantto really push your limits as a deer
hunter, that would be a greatplace to go.
Take away the.
The predators of wolves andstuff like that.

(45:49):
You take that out of the equation.
I think if you really want totest yourself, go up there, at least
in the up, because you're gonna.
You're gonna push your limitsas a deer hunter because it's.
There's like one deer, likeforever, so.
Yeah, yeah.
I mean, like the western sideof the state, we have wolves, too.
A higher density of wolves.

(46:10):
Depending on where you go,some of the public land gets put
right, is like right in themiddle of farm country.
So you get like, you get.
So like, if you have egg allthe way around you, you just kind
of pick an egg field and justgo, go for.
You know, you just sit andyou'll have a deer walk through because

(46:31):
they're going to be going tothe egg fields and stuff like that.
So, like, I don't know, it'skind of a.
I like hunting all of it.
Like.
Like up by my dad.
He's in northern Wisconsin.
He's 30 minutes away from IronMountain, Michigan.
That's where I grew up.
Oh, really?
Okay.
Yeah, that's it.
Yeah, yeah.

(46:51):
My dad lives in Amberg, Wisconsin.
So that's okay.
North.
That's Northwoods up there.
And like the northern part ofWisconsin, they don't hand out a
lot of doe tags.
It's buck only, so you're kindof hoping that you see a buck or,
you know, where they'rehanging out kind of deal.
It's very challenging.

(47:12):
Now, a lot of people, whenthey come to Wisconsin, I don't know
how they advertise hunting forout of Wisconsin, but I kind of figured
they probably advertise a lotof Buffalo county and a lot of Trumpelo
County.
Like, those are the maincounties that see a lot of hunting
pressure just because of thebucks that they pull out of there
every year.

(47:32):
I mean, Buffalo county alwaysproduces giant bucks, like 140 and
bigger.
I know there's a huntingoutfitter in Buffalo County.
They routinely pull out 180s.
Like, it's easy for them to doit, but also their type of land that
they have there.
It's rolling hills, it's bluff country.
They have the food plots.

(47:53):
They have egg fields.
They have it all.
Plus you got the Mississippiriver right there.
So they got water.
They've got all of what thethese deer need.
They just grow true giants.
Trumpelo county is the same way.
Rolling hills, bluff country,egg land.
They produce some of thebiggest out of the state.
I don't know.
I guess if you're wanting toexperience a cool hunt.

(48:16):
A cool hunt, come out here.
I mean, I think we have over amillion acres of public land, so.
Oh, that's quite a bit, man.
That's some good areas.
Oh, look.
Sup?
You Michael.
Where the hell did he come from?
Oh, I don't know.

(48:36):
Oh, you know what?
Elementary school.
Just got elementary school.
He got done with art class andhe did his paint drawing, and you
little off your show.
Yeah.
God.
It's either that or the WillyWonka factory just let out and he's
done wi.
You know, doing his l.

(49:05):
I'm gonna ask everybody for possum.
You.
He's banned from asking that, right?
He's done with that.
He can't ask about possum anymore.
Quentin, it's rapid firesegment time.
We got our hazing done with Michael.
That.
That feels good.
Oh, I feel relieved now.
I feel like it's always.
It's always great to bash amiddle schooler.

(49:27):
It feels good to pick on a teenager.
I mean, most of us had ourfame and topped out in middle school.
Why not bash a middle schooler?
I mean, what the hell?
It's makes you feel good.
It's kind of like d.
It's kind of like dwarf tossing.
You know, it's.
It's just like one of those things.
It's in my opinion, though.
I swear, I.
I'll say this.
I'm blue in the face.

(49:47):
Bullying builds character.
Really does.
I really do.
I was bullied.
I.
I know.
Ashamed saying I got bullied.
I got bullied.
Did you see what he just putup on a lie in that chat?
I was something you don't knowabout Brett.
Oh, man.
Man.
Oh, so Michael's got somestuff to say because I was outside

(50:07):
working something you don'tknow Brett.
Lol.
Don't take that.
Don't take that from a toddler.
Do you think you are, you little.
Little 15 year old bag?
What working on.
I.
I can't even say it.
You know what he's working onhis little art garage.
He's probably getting to thenext level of Mario Kart.

(50:28):
That's probably.
What Probably.
Probably got calluses on histhumbs like 3 inches thick.
He's probably building a sand castle.
Right.
Sandbox.
Playing my stand.
He's got that Mario Kart turtle.
It's like when he goes by andspins off.
I'm probably way out of my league.
I don't even know what thehell behind the guy.

(50:48):
He says, facts.
Try being 5 2.
Lol.
Try being a ginger and beinglike albino.
Get wrong.
I'm not porcelain white and bea ginger.
It's freaking horrible.
Poor guy.
Michael, I'm laughing my assoff right now.

(51:09):
If you're new to the show ortuning into the show for the first
time, he's like, first off, wewith everybody, so get used to it.
It's hazing.
That's part of brotherhood.
That's part of hunting.
We.
It's all on good fun nature.
But Michael here, he's been afan of the show for a long time now.
And it's turned into this Squatch.

(51:30):
How do you even call it now?
It's called, like, littlebrother syndrome.
He has.
Yeah.
Like the big brothers around.
And it doesn't matter how muchgood he could possibly produce in
our eyes, we're still going tolike, run him through the mill.
So, you know, as much as hetries to, like, fit in and stuff,
we just treat him like thatlittle brother that he is.
So that is true.

(51:51):
Yep.
He's a little brother to us all.
And say that don't with him,because then you got to deal with
us.
Yeah, yeah.
But we have the right.
We're allowed to push theenvelope a little bit with the little
feller.
He.
He's our little feller.
I was cleaning my boat,cutting my neighbor's grass and cleaning
my quad.

(52:12):
Oh, wow.
Good for you.
Excuse me.
Long Island Lolita.
Jesus.
You got everything down thereon the island.
You guys talk show.
I got a yacht and a quad.
So who the hell are you?
You don't even rate.
Geez.
With a zero turn lawnmower.
Hey, what's the.
What's the.

(52:32):
What's that blonde kid?
That's the singer that hungout with P.
Diddy.
What's his name?
Jade?
Oh, no.
Justin Bieber.
Yeah, he's like the Justin Bieber.
And we're like P.
Diddy in a weird kind of way.
Not.
Not exactly that way.
But he's like our.
He's like our Justin Bieber tothe group, you know?
And we got the piss pizza and bagels.

(52:54):
That's because a real mandoesn't have to back up what he does.
He just says I was out working.
Yeah, he says no, Brett Bowmanwas hanging out with Diddy.
That's true.
He was.
We've seen that.
Good point.
All right.
I feel like I've had my goodorgasm now.
I got to with Michael now.
I feel better now.
Oh gosh.
All night.

(53:15):
God.
Yeah.
You feel better, Squatch?
I thought he was still indetention, but I'm glad to see he
showed up.
Yeah, I'm glad he showed up too.
Not really, but I don't give a.
Not as much as I am when I seeDave or Johnny.
Yeah, or I guess Quentin.
Besides hunting, do you haveany other hobbies or insurance?

(53:37):
No, not really.
What animal is on your bucketlist to hunt?
Either a moose in the Yukon ora kudu in South Africa.
Oh, I like that one.
I think you're the first oneto actually say kudo though.
I think so.

(53:57):
What is an animal you want totry eating?
Alligator.
Oh yeah.
It's been kind of like acommon theme lately.
Yeah.
Late.
I had a dream about analligator last night.
What the.
Now I think about it.
Oh boy.
I don't know.

(54:17):
Real quick behind the grind comments.
He takes me ice fishing to seeme struggle carrying his pop up shack
on the ice.
My ice shack is taller than him.
Oh man.
Quentin.
Quentin actually stayed in hisice shanty when we were camping in
Ohio and it was like I gotthis shitty ass popup kind of like

(54:40):
dome tent thing and he's gotthis freaking monster.
Freaking gigantic insulatedlike double side by side cool ass
shanny.
It was awesome.
Commented Alar is delicious.
It's a must try.
Headed out in South Carolinaalso coming at good times.

(55:02):
All right.
Yeah, I'll have to.
I'll have to try it eventually.
Yeah man.
What has been your favoritestate you've hunted?
Ohio.
What is the top state you wantto try next?
Kansas.
If you could pick anybody,family or non family to go on a hunting
trip or share a campfire withone time, who would that be?

(55:24):
My dad.
Last question and it's a big one.
What do you think we as fellowhunters could or should do to improve
the hunting community as a whole?
Quit bashing each other overwhat everybody shoots.
Yeah.
Seems like the common theme.
I mean.
No.
Yeah.
It's the biggest thing that isthe biggest downfall of the hunting

(55:47):
industry is everybody's gottheir two cents on what everybody
should be harvesting.
I mean it seems like thoughout nowadays like though if you're
starting up a YouTube page orYouTube channel, whatever you want
to call it.
I always say, like, chase the.
The hunt, not the size and.
And respect everyone.
It seems like that's a new PCthing to do lately, but it just seems

(56:08):
like, who gives a man.
I don't give a.
If you're out there shooting aspike, shooting a doe or a button
buck or whatever the question,whatever it may be, if you get even
if it.
Even if you didn't get yourheart pounding, because I always
said, like, if it gets yourheart pumping and you feel like you
can put your head to restbecause you shot amazing deer and
you're proud of that deer inthe day, that's all matters, right?

(56:30):
Post it online, be proud of it.
If you get people that hate onyou, guess what?
I'll jump in and I'll tellthem, go themselves and I'll support
you.
They gotta go through the next.
I mean, I, I always tellpeople I go until you start buying
my tags, paying me to hunt,paying for my fuel, paying for my
arrows and everything.
That's when you can starttelling me what I can and can't shoot.

(56:51):
If you're not giving me moneyto hunt, then just leave me alone
and I'm going to shoot whatmakes me happy, right?
And day.
If you're proud of it or evenif, let's say you're not even proud,
like, yeah, I'm great.
I'm happy with this deerbecause I just put meat in the freezer.
At the end of the day, let'snot forget, hunting from when it
began till now is to put meatin the freezer and put meat on the

(57:15):
table.
That is hunting.
It's not this new day of don'tget wrong, going out there scouting
and trying to create bigger deer.
And that's awesome.
That's involved with hunting now.
That's what we turn hunting into.
But at the end of the day, togo out hunting is to help provide
meat for your family.
Not to go buy the stuff at thestore and start back in the 1800

(57:37):
to hunt.
To put meat and feed yourfamily and feel your tribe and your.
And your people around you.
That's what hunting is.
Nothing's changed except forthe fact nowadays where it's like
we have all this science andtechnology nowadays, that's this
new 21st century of hunting.
Hunting at its core is to put.
Meat in the freezer, you know,and I think that's a key success

(57:58):
that, that shows the.
The brotherhood andcamaraderie of how long, you know,
we stick together on thesepodcasts, on collaborations on Instagram
that we fully support each other.
And, you know, it's.
We see through that.
You know, it's like, I don't care.
You know, if you shoot afreaking 12 pointer, I'm happy for
you.
If you shot a four pointer,I'm happy for you.

(58:21):
If you're.
You're happy with that, Deardude, more power to you.
You know what I mean?
You're the one that's saying,hey, I'm fine with that.
If you, you know, you made agood, quick, clean kill, God bless
you, man.
You did a good job.
That's all that matters.
And that's the key thingthat's so important with, with what
we spread here on the show.

(58:42):
You know, in.
In our relationships with eachother, when we're.
We're talking to each other online.
And, you know, don't get mewrong, we all bust on each other,
like, oh, really?
You know, he could have usedanother year.
It's the famous, famous line.
But, you know, it's.
We don't mean anything by it.
We're always kidding around and.
And joke.
We joke with each other, butwe're not going to be like, what
the.
Were you doing that, Shootingthat deer or something like that.

(59:04):
No.
At the end of the day, me,Johnny, Dave and Squatch, we might
with each other behind closeddoors, but at the end of the day,
you're not going to see anyone of us going out there and bashing
anybody of the animals they.
They harvested.
If anything, you're going tosee us supporting that person for
what they took.
And if we see somebody bashingon them for that reason, then we're

(59:26):
gonna step in.
Oh, yeah.
And we told people, if you're not.
If you're scared to post aphoto of the deer that you shot,
we won't tag you in it.
We'll post it for you on our stuff.
And then they got.
They gotta go through us, right?
Yep.
And I'm the same way, youknow, like, I have a core friend
group where, you know, someonewill shoot something and we'll, you

(59:48):
know, make a joke or something.
You know, like my one goodfriend, he shot a really small deer,
but one year he made a mistake.
He ended up shooting a smallerdeer, you know, and I told him, oh,
damn, you shot the neighbor's dog.
No wonder why they keepcalling me to see if their dogs spend
the phone, you know, that's.
That's amazing.
That's a part of my thing, though.
Yeah.
And I mean it.
Put food on his table.

(01:00:08):
Like, I still give him for itto this day.
Like, I'll be like, hey,remember, don't shoot the neighbor's
dog this year.
Like, you're after a deer, you know?
You know, and it.
Stuff like that.
Like, it's something that, youknow, we've built the friendship
and it's.
Oh, you know, shouldn't sayit's okay because your friends, you
shouldn't give each other.
But if you guys are on that,you know, on those terms, it's okay.

(01:00:32):
But, like, I won't go to somerandom person's page and say, well,
why the hell did you shoot that?
You know, Like, I'll commenton there even if I don't agree.
Like, if I'm like, oh, that'sa really small deer.
I won't say that in the comments.
I'll just say, hey,congratulations, Heck of a deer.
You know, like, you know, justposting positive things.
Like, it might not besomething that I think, but I'm not
gonna go out of my way to.

(01:00:53):
To be an addict to that personbecause it's pointless.
Like, give them a positivecomment and.
Or just keep scrolling, you know.
All right, Michael, thislittle kid bag, I swear, he says,
brett, I have something totell Quentin.
Oh, here we go.
There we go.

(01:01:13):
I don't know.
So we're curious to see whathe says.
We're just waiting, Michael.
Don't worry.
Let's wait and drag out theshow even longer because we're trying.
You fix.
Yeah.
Q, pick on me daily.
Well, just with you, dude.
It'S not hard.
It's not hard.
Especially like when you goice fishing with him.

(01:01:35):
We'll go to a store or something.
And I always say I took my kidfishing because he's like 10 inches
shorter than me.
Holy crap.
I'll tell you what, man.
I.

That dude's built.
I've seen him pick up someserious ass weight.

(01:01:55):

(01:02:37):
