Join me, Squatch, and Johnny as we share our favorite tricks of the trade, from honing your shot to mastering scent control—because let's be honest, nobody wants to smell like a sweaty gym sock while hunting. And just when you think it can't get any better, we welcome Craig James for a surprise cameo at the end of the show! We’ll banter, share stories, and maybe even throw in a few laughs along the way. So grab your gear and tune in; it’s time to prepare for a killer season ahead!
Join me, Squatch, and Johnny as we kick back and chat about all things hunting in this lively episode. We share our tried-and-true tips for having a successful hunting season, emphasizing the need for preparation, practice, and patience. From perfecting your shot to mastering the art of scent control, we cover it all. I talk about the importance of practicing from different positions and even under various conditions to ensure you're ready when that big buck walks by. Squatch brings some humor into the mix as he shares his experiences with scent control, suggesting we all go unscented—no floral body washes allowed! We also touch on the significance of scouting and using trail cameras wisely, ensuring we don't disturb the area too much before the season kicks off. The vibe is friendly and relaxed, with plenty of playful jabs exchanged amongst us. And just when you think it’s all fun and games, we welcome Craig James to the show, who adds even more insight into our hunting strategies. It's a great blend of humor, advice, and camaraderie that any hunting enthusiast will enjoy!
Takeaways:
- Successful hunting season tips include practicing your shot under realistic conditions.
- Eliminate any unnatural scents weeks in advance to keep deer from detecting you.
- Monitor weather changes closely, as deer are most active during shifts in temperature.
- Stay mentally tough; misses and close calls are part of the hunting experience.

Now you guys look legit.
God, those tattoos look like ass.
These tattoos look like.
Oh, you're talking about yours.
No, yours talks like.
Oh, you can thank mine foryour freedom.
You just said in a minute agothose guys.
(03:54):
Well, yeah, I didn't say that.
You can't.
You guys look like walking.
Yes, I can.
Yeah, you can.
Go ahead.
Scream of speech.
That's right.
So you.
Johnny, I say it all the time.
Yeah.
All right, so what the is thisshow about Tonight?
Let's get to the get.
We're giving her tips andtricks on how to have a successful
season.
All right.
Tips and tricks like we wantpeople to hunt like us or tips and
(04:16):
tricks how, like, does it just like.
What do you think that youcould help have?
What advice do you think youcould give?
So that way people can avoid.
So that way they have asuccessful hunting season.
So for instance, myself.
I wrote stuff down.
You did?
Yeah.
Unlike you guys apparently.
Didn't do.
Oh, no, I got it all up here.
(04:37):
I don't need to write down.
Okay, let me find where mynotes is for this section only.
Like, people that went tospecial ed had to write things down.
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
I had to make a list.
I have to follow the list.
Here's Justin's comment.
Here's a tip.
Brett, get out of bed.
Yeah.
No tip number one through three.
(04:58):
Brett, get out of bed.
Don't take melatonin the night before.
All right, Number one of mineis dial in your shot under a hunting
condition.
So in this, a lot of the onesthat I'm going to be talking about
are more archery based becausethat's all I do this arch.
Oh, yeah.
So if you got to practice in.
(05:20):
In very.
At varying distances.
So I practice up from 20 toabout 70, 75.
And then practicing from atree Stand.
I haven't practiced from thesaddle yet.
I just got the saddle.
So I'm now.
I'm gonna be working on that now.
But also in.
What I also like to do is likepush ups, jumping jacks, and like
(05:40):
that to get the heart rate pumping.
That way it somewhat simulatesthe feeling of when a big buck comes
in and then.
And when it's like dark out too.
So in.
In low light situations.
Stuff like that.
I'll get you, huh?
Like a spotlight?
No, no, like when the sun is setting.
Like it, like now, like whenit's like getting like a little darker
(06:02):
and stuff like that.
So you practice spotlighting gear.
I was like, wait a minute.
That's a leader.
Only legal if you get caught, though.
True.
Unless you're native.
We can do it.
I am, I am.
I am as well.
I know.
Okay.
First nation, though.
Nice.
Nice.
(06:24):
So I got one that I'm actuallyworking on right now is come September,
end of August, I stop washingwith like girly soaps.
You know, in other words, likescented stuff or whatever.
I go to just, you know, no smell.
I use natural, like deodorantthat doesn't have any scent to it,
(06:47):
but it stops you from smellinglike a squatch.
And you know, just go.
You got to take the scentstuff away from you.
Get it out of your blood, outof your pores.
But I always do it like a goodmonth ahead this way, you know, I
don't have those like, youknow, like, what is it like, you
know, the freaking body washsmells and all that stuff you wash
(07:08):
with.
You know, I don't.
I don't use any of that.
I'll go to my unscented and Iuse Senna's ass.
And so I believe in his products110.
It's really good stuff.
Jim's a good dude.
I like him a lot.
Yes, he is.
Yes, I have my comments on that.
(07:29):
But Johnny, you have one and then.
Or you just want me to say mything on set?
No, no, go ahead, say yours.
It's gonna be wrong, but goahead and say it.
No, it's not wrong.
It's legit.
I think.
I think scent.
Don't get me wrong.
Do your best to help eliminatescent control altogether.
But, like, you can't.
I'm gonna tell you, my dearlove, my grapeseed and my coconut
(07:51):
oil that I put in my hair.
It attracts them.
They come in so hot and heavyevery single time when I put it in.
It's ridiculous.
I would come running in if Ismell grape Seed, I mean I would
be in full, full rut.
Antlers up, head down.
I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Antlers up and head down.
(08:15):
So the only thing I spray ismy boots.
I don't, I never sprayanything else.
I'm not ever worried about it though.
I don't smoke or anything likethat though.
So I really don't worry abouta scent that I'm bringing in that's,
that's really unnatural to, totheir environment to a certain degree.
Yep.
And everything else that I uselike as far as, like as I mean is
(08:36):
paraben free, dye free,everything else.
So I've never worried about it.
And I kill big bucks every year.
I know.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
No, you're good.
I'm okay.
(08:58):
I am not a big man on scent control.
Believe it or not.
I play the wind.
I work that, that aspect of everything.
My biggest thing is shooting.
I practice year round fromdifferent positions.
That is my go to.
How many arrows you shoot aday or like, or throughout.
(09:18):
Like would you say like aweek, a month?
What per month?
I'm at about 500 to 600 arrowsa month because I shoot a lot on
the weekends if I have a dayoff of work.
I shoot a lot weatherdependent too.
But I'm on average betweenfive and six hundred arrows a month.
It's good.
(09:39):
I, I generally try to stickaround like, like 10 to 20 shots
a day or like throughout theweek because.
Well, at least more towardsthe, the beginning part of like spring
and summer just to make sure Iget like formed down correctly and
stuff like that.
And that kind of like leads into.
My next one is perfecting youranchor point and release to really
(10:01):
dial in that aspect of yourarchery shot to make sure they're
forming.
Everything there is perfect.
I think at the beginning ofthe part of the year quality over
quantity is better.
But then once August startsrunning around September then you
should be really dialed in atthat point and like you gotta start
repping that out like you are.
(10:23):
So I looked at it as, youcan't sacrifice quality over quantity.
I will shoot 500 arrows a month.
Each arrow has its own purpose.
Yeah, I'm shooting fromstanding, kneeling, sitting, cross
legged.
I'm shooting from everyposition you can.
I'm not focusing on that target.
I'm focusing on center of the badge.
(10:44):
Right.
I'm, I'm shooting the Dr.
Consistent arrows.
Getting the muscle memorybuilt in, getting that consistent
draw.
Set that anchor.
Where am I at?
Move my thumb, hit the release.
How, how's my My front hand.
How is everything going?
What is that looking like?
Okay, I perfect that.
Now I can, like you said,implement the jumping jacks, the
(11:06):
push ups, everything like that.
Get that heart rate up.
Now you practice that good.
Set that, that anchor point,that mem.
That muscle memory.
And just do that all year.
And once it comes time tohunting season, you're up in that
tree stand or that saddle orround, blind or wherever you are,
and you draw back.
It's all 100.
(11:26):
Muscle memory.
Yeah, I agree with that onthat point.
Everything's come down.
At the end of the day,everything comes down to muscle memory.
And have you practiceunconventional shots.
Like I've told you guys thestory of.
I've said it countless timesof when I had to show fish like,
like when he was.
I had like squat.
Never practiced that position before.
(11:47):
Yeah.
Oh.
Sometimes you gotta thinkoutside of the shit like positions
too.
So I'll shoot like I have myjelly puck set up.
And I'll shoot leaning out ofthat right side lean, left side,
lean, shoot.
You know, practice shootingout of the saddle.
Strong hand, weak hand.
Do that, shoot from awkwardangles, positions.
(12:08):
I mean, I'll shoot in everysingle position.
I'll spend a week shooting,kneeling, you know, both.
Both knees on the ground,kneeling, like that.
I'll shoot, you know, rightknee on the ground, right left knee
on the ground.
And I just do that, you know,one week, focus on one style of shooting.
I'll perfect it and then I'lljust change it up.
Throughout the entire spring,into summer, fall comes.
(12:32):
I'm comfortable shooting any position.
Squatch.
You have another one or youwant me to go next?
Yeah, I can add one there.
So this time of the year, liketoday for instance, I went out and
started setting up morecameras on the property.
Seen a couple of good bucksthat I'm after.
There's also a 350 pound bearmoving around.
(12:54):
So where I have cameras setup, I needed to put a couple more
from like east to west becausethat's the movement in that.
That property.
And it's a hundred acres.
So I broke out the.
The E bike and rode overthere, rode into the woods.
Worked out pretty good.
Was able to cover a lot ofground and very little time.
Just getting stuff up there,not making a lot of noise.
(13:15):
But this is the time now, likeif you're gonna let you know, cameras
just kind of sit and marinate.
It's.
This is the time.
Don't be going in much soonerand putting your scent around and,
you know, letting them knowyou're there because you're going
to teach them.
But I, I actually had to getinto the opposite side of a transition
(13:38):
zone, which is a beaver damthat the deer cross over to come
to one of my stands.
And I was actually huntinglast year in the saddle across from
there because I had somepictures of a buck.
So basically, set your camerasup, try to get a timestamp and direction.
It's very important right nowin early season, if you want to get
a buck down quick when the ruthits, all bets are off.
(14:00):
Just be in the woods.
But we went out, Frank and Iwent up to his property too, and
put cameras out this weekend.
And, you know, we're gettingsome pictures already.
Nothing huge, but we're.
Our ideas were right where wethought they were moving.
So this is kind of like thelast ditch time for you to get cameras
set up.
Kind of, you know, leave themmarinate, leave them alone.
(14:20):
Don't, don't keep your scent around.
There were some little, littlelate rain showers today, so that
was good.
It'll kind of wash stuff offup here, you know.
Yeah, we had a little rain come.
Through last couple days.
Last couple days, yeah.
Yeah.
And it only rained for likemaybe 45 minutes, if that.
Yeah, so that was nice.
(14:41):
I, I think my next one, I'mgoing to say is master quiet movement.
What I mean by that is likedrawing a bow is slow and deliberate
practice drawing in slowmotion and freezing mid draw.
If the deer looks your way.
Many archeries, many archeryhunters lose the shot here.
So I can't, I'm assuming youguys happen to you while as you're
(15:04):
drawing back and then you getstuck there and you're like, well,
shit, now all of a sudden thatbig one's looking at you.
Yep.
You have to know when to draw.
I mean, especially if you'rehunting from the ground and all of
a sudden you have that, youknow, that two second window to draw.
And if you hesitate one bit asyour mid draw, you get spotted and
(15:27):
now you have all that weightback in your draw hand and you just
start shaking it and you say,okay, do I let it go and get busted
or do I pull it back and get busted?
That was always a huge thingwith me when I hunted from the ground.
I'll get busted pullinghalfway back.
It's like, all right, well nowI have to commit all the way back,
quit aim, and I'll practicethat shot too.
(15:49):
In the backyard, I have mytarget out and I'll go halfway.
Hold it, you know, count tofive, pull it back and release and
try to get that shot off asfast as I can and as accurate as
I can.
Killed that buck three yearsago with him looking right at me.
For freaking five minutes, helooked right at me.
And the minute that he wasdistracted, I was able to draw back
(16:11):
and put the shot on him andkill him at 18 yards.
But talk about sitting there,you know your bow.
I was actually using the bowto block my face between him and
me because I was in the ready.
But another thing, too, thatyou gotta.
You know, a lot of guys don't understand.
You're 3D shooting and allthis crap.
You're doing the rainbow draw.
(16:32):
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you can't do the rainbowdraw when you got a big buck staring
you down.
It's got to be straight out.
Your pin should be on what youwant to hit, and you should be able
to come straight back to your anchor.
And when you're back there,then you just touch that release
off.
I used to take people, when Itaught them, I'd say, take two fingers
(16:54):
and put it around the string.
Why?
I said start drawing back slow.
I can't.
Then there's too much poundageon the bow for you.
Yep.
You need to drop your poundage.
So I always teach people whenI break people in or try to, they
come to me for lessons or whatever.
Two fingers on a string.
If you can't pull that bowback slow enough, then you got to
drop poundage.
Now when I draw mine, I'll.
(17:15):
I'll do the whole push pullmethod where as I'm pulling back,
I'll push out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that saved me a lotbecause for the longest time, I'd
have my bow out, my arm out,and I just pull back.
And it's all 100% back muscle.
And yeah, you can do it.
That's fine.
It sucks.
But once you can lock in andyou, you know, you do that whole
(17:39):
push, pull, and it's 50% push,50% pull.
So much easier, you know?
You know, Johnny, how youwere, like, in the police, in the.
I'm assuming in the army,you're also trained to, like, push
out with your gun like this.
When you come back out, you'relike, pushing like that.
Yeah, that's how that's like.
That's what I'm thinking whenI'm doing that push, pull.
Like, I'm thinking of that.
(18:00):
Yeah, that and keeping myelbows in.
Yeah, I always keep my elbows in.
I don't want to make that widetarget and pull all the way back
on.
Keep everything tight to my core.
Pull up back and then draw itlike that.
Yeah.
Making sure everything's slowand deliberate and making sure you
don't get.
Yeah.
(18:20):
And if it's that mature doethat's spotting, you drop her.
Just shoot her.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The whispers.
The woods whispers.
They die.
Yeah, they die.
She blows.
She does.
Yep.
Yeah.
I can't.
When was was like two yearsago, I was out in the woods and I
(18:41):
couldn't draw back on thisdeer because I heard like six does.
And one of them just keptstaring at me.
She just was like.
She wasn't doing.
She wasn't like, stomping herfoot yet, and she wasn't blowing,
but she just kept looking atme and just, like, moving her head
and like bouncing her head around.
I'm like, don't you do it, you little.
Don't do it.
What are you doing here?
(19:02):
It's not even noon yet.
I so shocked.
I was out in the hunting right.
Stand before they got acontract with Brett.
No hunting before noon.
Yeah.
See, there's a deal I madewith a deer, okay?
I gave them permission.
We both agreed.
I don't hunt them until 2:30.
(19:23):
Bambi Local 332 Union.
Yeah.
Oracle 3.2.0 cannot be hunteduntil after 3.
So I. I got another one.
Yeah, go ahead.
All right.
So this time of the year, withall the shooting that you've been
(19:45):
doing and practicing, like ourguru Johnny, who shoots 500 arrows
a month, I work a lot of side work.
I don't have that much time,but I will start knuckling down and
getting some arrows flung.
But being that you've been to3D shoots, you've been shooting in
the backyard, I would say thisis the time to lock everything down.
(20:07):
Double check the way yourbroadheads are flying on your arrows
if you haven't shot them already.
Time to sharpen yourbroadheads, Whether they're brand
new, out of the box or you'vebeen using them.
Touch them up.
If you can't.
Stretch a rubber band betweenyour fingers and gently pass that
broadhead through therewithout cutting it.
They're not sharp.
(20:28):
You'll lose a deer.
So this is the time to triplecheck everything.
Make sure all your stand stuffis tight.
The grit steps that I use haveallen keys that hold the step to
the main center portion.
So you go back and make surethey're tight because you don't want
stuff loosening up on you, you know?
(20:49):
So this is.
This is the time.
This is like, you know, preignition, get ready, make sure all
your ducks are in a row.
If you gotta replace straps onyour fixed stands, don't wait to
do it.
Like, get up there and go, oh,it broke.
Or it breaks while you're init and you get hurt, this is the
time to get all your stuff together.
(21:11):
That leads kind of like intomy next point that I was gonna say
was staying mentally tough.
Because in the archery season,I mean, you guys know the same thing.
I know those misses are goingto happen, those blowing opportunities
are going to happen, and thosemoments where it's just like, I want
to quit hunting.
I hate this.
And you just, like, you feellike you just want to give it all
(21:33):
up.
We got to learn from thosemistakes, and they're going to happen.
It's been happening for me for20 years of hunting, now happening
for Johnny, for the hundredyears that he's been alive.
Whoa, whoa, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm at squash.
And.
And Johnny, for his 60 yearsthat he's been alive, too.
(21:54):
So it's gonna happen, okay?
Accept it.
Move the on.
Don't be a pussy about it anddwell in it.
Absolutely.
Accept it and move the up.
Learn from it, though.
I'll say this.
You can dwell in those.
Like, let's say you shot adeer, you shot above them, you shot
below him, you missed.
Okay, you can have that.
(22:15):
I'll give you that moment fromwalking from your stand back up to
your house in your car, andyou drive back home.
That's the entire time thatyou gotta dwell on that.
As soon as you get home, yougotta lock that ship and move the
on.
Right?
So right now, how often do youshoot your.
(22:35):
Shoot your bow during season?
So that's another thing likethat happens to me.
Opening day, a doe came out.
A good, mature doe came out.
I pulled back, took a shot,and hit brisket.
And it was a bad shot.
It was on me.
And I was like, what the hell?
I killed a buck earlier duringearly season, like a weekend before.
(22:59):
And I looked at my sight,housing was super loose by your hand.
I was like, well, what the hell?
So then I made it a point to.
After each hunt I did to shootmy bow at the house to make sure
that it was still on spot, youknow, Spot on.
Yeah.
And our fourth host, who's onsometimes, and occasionally Dave,
(23:22):
brought that up to me one day.
He's like, hey, you shouldprobably shoot your bow every night
once you get home.
I'm like, yeah, that's not abad idea.
Yep.
Just Whatever arrow you havein it, sling it.
Oh yeah, it's still within,you know, that time of a group.
If I would have done thatbeforehand, I would have known.
Oh, my sight's loose.
Tighten it up, make sure it's good.
Okay.
(23:42):
The next day you're good to go.
I would have dropped thatdough but because I didn't do that
and I just assumed that mysite housing was good, my sights
were all set.
I didn't even pay attention.
Come to find out it was looserthan and I missed completely and
it was all on me.
(24:02):
I try to at least shoot once.
Like it's.
So I hunt at my parents house.
I have a target there and I'llshoot one arrow before I go out in
the woods.
It's like pre checking yourship before you go out in the, in
the field.
That's my version of it.
So I'm just shooting.
Oh, I'll take, I'll do two.
One, they get the nerves out.
The second to make sureeverything's still working good.
(24:25):
Well like you said, perfectly though.
There's still going to betimes though you can have those opportunities
like you miss where you knowit's on you.
Or oh yeah, something else islike well crap, that was not me.
That was a technical issue.
Like a mechanical type thing.
Yep.
But what I'm saying is peoplelike Squatch and I who go out into
the woods well before sun up.
(24:47):
Yeah.
We're sitting out there, wecan't shoot our bows before we go
out because it's too dark thenight before once we're in and our
bobat or our, you know, targetblotches in the garage or something.
Something with light becausewe've been out from sun up to sundown.
Well, when it's dark out whenI walk out, I just shoot.
(25:10):
And if something screams, Iknow I was on.
Oh, I've done that one before too.
Yeah, it's like you're walkingaround, what the hell?
And you just like lob an arrowall 300 style.
Do like maybe like you know, a300 yard shot.
And then if you hear somebodylike ow.
You know your bow is on.
That's.
Yeah, yeah, it's all.
I use the force from Star Wars.
(25:31):
Yes.
Yeah, I'm just like, oh,that's right about right here.
I used the Schwartz.
Yes, Schwartz works better.
Gotta use the shorts.
You know they're making asecond one, right.
They better do it justice.
Oh my God.
That's all I'm saying.
(25:51):
Spaceballs, the movie.
That was the gas movie on the planet.
That was awful.
Piss poor.
We can't be friends.
No.
All right, Squatch.
Yeah, thank you.
If you do not like them, you.
Want to tell me that.
That you, Squatch, aren't amovie guy and you watched Spaceballs
(26:13):
and you liked it?
Yes, because I'm a John Candyfan and I love Spaceballs.
It was a hilarious movie.
God, that was just.
No, that was an amazing movie.
Mel Brooks is a goddamn.
Yes, he's a genius.
That movie was giant ass.
No, it wasn't like watchingthat movie was like.
(26:35):
Are you.
Are you kidding me?
It was like worst.
It was just.
Just terrible.
Hey, he's from the wrong time.
That's.
I know he is.
He doesn't understand that.
That.
I'll say this.
My own best friend.
Yeah, super true.
They're making a SuperTroopers 3.
(26:55):
Shut the up, Brett.
Well, that wasn't even like that.
I don't think some of theparts of that was all right, but
it was kind of dumb.
What.
What were you talking about?
That movie was like a godsendof a hilarious comedy wrapped all
in one.
I'll give you on the secondone, maybe the second one, yes, it
wasn't as funny, but the firstone was amazing because.
(27:19):
Because you're.
You're.
You're from that cop.
You know, you're a cop.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It had nothing to do becauseof the cop world.
Yeah, it does.
It's because that movie wasjust amazing.
A lot of that.
They probably based a lot ofit off of what you did, so that's
what made it funny.
Do you know who MichaelWinslow is?
Yeah, yeah.
Brett doesn't.
Brett doesn't know who MichaelWinslow is.
(27:41):
He made Spaceballs.
Yeah, good for that dude.
What do you want me to do?
They had the bleeps, the sweetand the creeps.
Comb the desert, man.
We ain't found.
I hope they should start themovie with that.
But they're still out in the desert.
(28:03):
The two black dudes should go.
We still ain't found.
We ain't found.
I just want to end the shownow because of the way you guys talk
about this gay movie.
Dude, my dad loves that movieand I tell him, dad, you're a idiot.
You're.
That movie is so terrible.
Your dad gets it.
(28:24):
You're among freaking millennial.
You don't get it.
You look at everyone thatyou've talked about this movie with
and you are the oddball out.
I don't know what it is.
Okay, like you don't know whatthat movie Is.
And yet you're giving toeveryone else who knows it.
(28:44):
And you're.
That I watched it like 10years ago and the reason I watched
it one time is because it waspiss awful.
I couldn't even finish thestupid fucking movie on the first
note.
And two, a reason I don'tremember it that well is because
I purposely threw it up on mybrain because of how disgusting and
disturbing that movie was.
(29:05):
Now what about Monty Python?
That one.
I haven't seen that one.
Did you get it?
That one?
Yeah.
He doesn't know.
What do you mean?
That one?
Do you know who Monty Pythonin the flying circus is?
He has no clue.
No, I don't know what the that is.
Oh my God.
Either way.
All right, we're gonna talkabout back onto hunting.
(29:27):
Else.
Okay, the next one here isthat I wrote down here is Hunting,
Hunting the times.
Okay, so focus your efforts onthe cold front, the rut and the weather
changes.
Deer move best when conditions shift.
So like, what's a good example?
Waking up early now, thermalstretch of days, like a good stretch
(29:53):
of like four to five dayswhere it's.
This is like consistent type weather.
And then like next that likesix day or something, it's gonna
drop off into like really cold fronts.
Watch for those days right there.
Yeah, any, any temperaturedifference of like 10 or 15 degrees
is time.
Whether it's, you know, it'sgonna be warmer and it drops down,
(30:13):
it gets colder.
That's a key time to get outand hunt.
Also after it stops raining,get it in the woods and hunt, you
know?
Yeah.
So yeah, whether weather,barometric pressure, the full moon,
all those play a lot withanimal movements, fish movements.
My biggest thing that I, Ireally like years ago with Jeff Murray
(30:35):
came on and he was, he hadlike the, the lunar wheel.
I'm telling you, man, Ithought it was bullshit.
I would follow that thing.
And every time that thingsuggested a spot to be at a certain
time of day, it was rightaccording to the moon.
And I know as a fisherman thatit affects fish, the barometric pressure.
(30:56):
It also affects the way deermovement is and how and when they
feed and when they bed.
But the key factor, five daysbefore the full moon, you'll get
the full moon, that's a low.
And then five days after,that's the time, especially if there's
a temperature change of like15 or so degrees.
Get your butt in the woods allday and hunt.
(31:21):
So I have a little surprisefor you guys.
You're gonna come out of the closet.
Who's this.
Hey.
Oh.
What'S up, guys?
What's going on, man?
Not much.
Hey, Craig, is it all right?
Like, like Dave Chappelle usedto say, I'm Rick James.
Can we just.
(31:42):
I'm Craig James.
No, that makes.
That actually sounds better.
That actually sounds better.
That does, man.
That's pretty good.
Hey, have you seen the movie Spaceballs?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, I have.
What are your thoughts on it?
It's an amazing movie.
Right?
What's your thoughts on it?
(32:03):
All right.
How old are you?
How old are you?
No, I'm only 37.
Yes.
I'm not the only one thatthinks it sucks.
It's an amazing movie.
Doesn't suck.
Oh, yeah.
See what you walked into, Craig?
(32:24):
Yeah.
We don't talk about hunting onthe show.
That we argue about stupidmovies now.
We're talking about Mel Brooks films.
What about Blazing Saddles?
The best.
Dare someone to say somethingbad about that one.
The best.
Never seen it.
Yeah, I've never seen it.
Never seen it.
I was hoping I wasn't thefirst one.
Like, I never seen that.
God damn.
The sheriff is near.
(32:45):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Howard Johnson is right, man.
Anyway, what are you doing nowto get ready for the season coming
up?
Push ups.
Honestly, like a lot of push ups.
What I'm doing now is like,well, yesterday went to my urban
(33:06):
spot.
I had to move a stand.
I knew I had to do it and youknow, like, I'm just trying to stay
out of there as much as Ipossibly can.
So I gave it a three week spanand I went in there yesterday.
It was windier than went.
Hung my.
Hang on sand, please don't.
I.
Basically the spot that I haveit in, I.
(33:26):
Everyone can say they'rejacked up, they're ready.
This is the spot.
Do you know it's gonna be the spot?
No, but the sign that I see inthe urban spot and the amount of
property that I have availableto me, I think if I do everything
right, play my cards right,just like as I just got on here,
squad saying about the.
The temperature we drop, youknow, the thermal, stuff like that,
(33:47):
like, I know I can do this right?
And it just.
This spot just feels different.
I mean, I mean, my cellcamera, it goes off every single
day.
I mean, if I'm gonna kill theearly season, though, it's gonna
be the spot.
And I guarantee you, if theweather is right here in Wisconsin,
September 13th, openingmorning, and the wind's right, I
(34:10):
will kill a dough.
I mean, they're just effingeverywhere in there, dude.
You know, the how I preparedfor it is just.
I learned a lot.
I'm 37 years old, I'm still learning.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna learnnext year, I'm gonna learn the year
after.
But like, just staying the outof the woods is the biggest thing
for me.
(34:30):
Noticing it on my family land,my brother in law's land.
Just stay out.
I mean, you got your batteriesin there, you got what you need in
there.
The sense the scrapes scented.
Stay out.
I mean, I used to be the guy,I'm not gonna lie.
I used to be the guy to go in there.
Oh, I gotta.
Got one more send on the screen.
No, just stay out.
And I've noticed a bigdifference, I guess myself on my
(34:54):
cell cameras of daylightmovement of just not being in the
woods.
Just stay out.
Yep.
And that's the biggest thingon me because I hunt a lot of public
land.
Well, that's all I hunt.
So you're like, okay, well Ineed to go out there and I need to
move my cameras around.
I need to do this, I need todo that.
But then you're like, I'mgetting deer all the time and do
(35:16):
I.
Do I really need to?
No.
And then every once in a whileI'll have, you know, trail camera
footage of someone walkingthrough the woods.
And I'm like, well, are theyscrewing up my hunt?
No, they're not.
Because I've had them out allsummer and this is the first time
I've had them on.
Okay, but it is public.
Do I need to.
Like, you're constantlyrunning through these scenarios in
(35:38):
your head on public, andyou're like, you just have to really
focus on not focusing on thatand just saying, hey, you know what?
I'm in a good spot, I have it done.
It's okay.
And just take a step back and.
And like you were saying, Iget updates all the time on my cameras.
I'm running five moultriesright now on state land.
(35:59):
I'm constantly getting updatesand getting photos of deer.
I'm looking at them like, oh,well, I know they're coming from
this way.
Do I want to move my camerasout here more to see where they're
coming from?
Yep.
And just leave it alone.
And that I have to tell myselfthat all the time.
I'm gonna just leave it alone.
Leave it alone.
Right there.
(36:19):
Come.
Or October 1st, just hunt that.
Hunt over it.
Yep.
Like you were saying too,John, like the other day, I think
it was.
No, it was Thursday when I washelping my Wife and daughter, get
ready for the market.
Whatever.
My cell camera went off into Pierre.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Come on, baby.
Nope, it was a person walking through.
I'm like, oh my God.
(36:40):
So right away in my mind,like, oh, another trespasser.
Like, go figure.
And this property, we've hadproblems with trespassing, homeless
people in there and out, blah,blah, the sheriff's department, which
is crazy to me now.
Hey, long story short, mybrother in law brought an urban property.
Yep.
It's right off of honestlymajor highway in Green Bay.
(37:00):
The sheriff's department isliterally right across the road.
And some of my best friendsare sheriff's department police officers.
And my buddy Mac goes, dude,we have the biggest problems with
this property.
I'm like, how?
You guys are right across the street.
Because that's the problem.
They are stealth.
They're sneaky.
It's.
It's bad.
(37:21):
Well, I, as a guy, that's verynot, I shouldn't say territorial,
but like, like I put a lot ofeffort and time into my summer prep
as.
As you guys all see and likeboggles me.
Like, am I doing all this for nothing?
And no, I'm not.
And I had the guy walk through.
I'm like, you got to be effing.
(37:41):
I mean, he literally had to abrush up against my camera.
And then I'm like, oh my God.
Like I'm.
I'm pissed off now.
Is he gonna screw up my.
Is he gonna.
What is he gonna do?
Honestly?
He walked through, camera's fine.
Everything's fine.
I was out there obviously acouple days after he was there.
And then I looked at the picture.
I'm like a.
He's wearing like a neon yellow.
He's probably like a powerline worker or something like that.
(38:03):
Yeah.
So it's like, okay.
So I talk to my buddy Mattreal quick.
I'm like, hey, do these.
He goes, if they're workingthe property, technically, Craig,
they're on the property.
They have access to the wholeproperty where they can check power
lines, which I respect that I do.
And I respect this guy.
Did I get a face of him?
No, it was just a, like a halfbody pitcher.
But like, it's like I alwaysfear the worst when I have somebody
(38:27):
else out there walking throughthe property when it's not me.
Like, is this going to screwup my season?
And honestly, no, because whenhe walked through two and a half
hours later, I had a freakingmonster doe come through and hit
my rope.
So it's like, it's urban Tooso urban.
Like, they're used to the traffic.
They're used to the people.
They're used to the assistantliving home next to me.
Like, I'm not stressing almostthat much is if now.
(38:49):
If that were to happen inCroco, I'd be a little bit more pissed
off.
But it is what it is, youknow, so it's just.
I'm excited.
Like, I'm pumped up.
Like, this is.
I don't know, like every yeareveryone always says, you know, this
is the year.
This is the year.
Everyone gets excited every year.
The year comes and comes, butfor some stupid reason, like, I just
(39:09):
feel like something weird thatit's gonna go down and I'm gonna
get that on camera.
I tell you that right now,it's gonna happen.
That kind of like leads into.
My last tip is plants aregonna go to.
But also enjoy the process.
You're gonna.
Well said.
You're gonna have the throughentire summer leading on to hunting
(39:31):
season.
Either pictures of deer, notpictures of deer.
No matter what that information.
You see of a deer.
So like if you dissect a photoof a deer, like I dissect it the
way the photo of the deer ispositioned in that photo.
What I mean is you.
Are you seeing his ass, whichdirection she's walking and this
and that.
(39:52):
They're going to give you alot of information just on the.
The way they're walkingthrough that photo.
Yep.
You're going to build anentire plan around this whole shoe.
Like, all right, he's walkingfrom here, here and here.
Perfect.
You said the imperfect plan.
You're going to snipe himright over there.
Guess what?
That won't even use that trailthe rest of the year.
He's going to come out 50yards to the south.
Exactly.
(40:13):
Yep.
Your plans are going to go to quickly.
Yep.
You got to be able to adaptfrom it, move on from it, and can
you think quick on your feet.
But the entire year, theentire part of the hunting season
when everything's going to.
When it's like, oh, I didn'tthink of this or I didn't plan for
this.
Guess what?
We're all experienced hunters.
(40:33):
We probably between us all got50 plus years combined.
And I guarantee you we allthink of one thing through the before
the hunting season.
Then once it comes, well,they're like, I didn't think of that.
It's gonna happen.
Yep.
So embrace it and move on.
I got another one to add if.
If I could real quick.
Yeah.
Is this.
(40:54):
This time of the Year.
Also make sure you brush up onthe new laws that are proposed for
that hunting season.
Especially here in New YorkState, our great and glorious governor
likes to make sure that theDEC switches things up.
And if you're not up on what'sgoing on for your local laws and
(41:17):
you take an animal and maybeit wasn't supposed to be or you didn't
know about an early season,you may miss out.
So you know, when you get yourtags, get your syllabus, read through
it, they'll have updates inthe front of the book.
This is the time to brush upon the local laws and stuff so you
(41:38):
don't get yourself in a pinch.
The other thing also that runsin hand in hand with that, if you're
hunting a private piece, makesure you go and talk to the people
again, even if it wassomething you set up last year.
Touch base, shake hands, letthem know you know, if you need anything,
(41:58):
you're there for them.
And also make sure you havewritten permission from that landowner
because Joe Schmo can walk inlike Craig's having problems with
and say, oh, Bob, Billy Bobtold me I can hunt here.
And if you have writtenpermission, you can say, well, where's
your written permission?
Yep.
So you know, the paperworkstuff, the syllabus stuff, knowing
(42:22):
your surroundings, knowingyour laws and where you're allowed
and where you're not supposedto be or not be doing, brush up on
that right now because youdon't want to look like a fool when
hunting season rolls around.
No, and honestly, I 100 agreethat because a couple years ago,
my brother in law, Jason, theybought a house off a bridge road
here in ceramic or whatever.
And it was just a little,little woods funnel and Brown county,
(42:47):
the laws in Wisconsin.
And like what Squash said,they change every year.
And the problem is when theychange every year in Wisconsin, it's
under the table.
They don't tell you thatthey're changing.
You getting to look up on therules and see them.
So I'll, I'll admit it, June,I was throwing all mineral, I was
throwing all 14 Jurassic parkmineral blocks, blah, blah, blah.
(43:08):
And I'm just getting ready togo coach Crossfit.
And all of a sudden I get adoor and knock on the door and my
buddy Colin comes up, he's adnr, is here knocking on the door.
I'm like, what the bro?
Right away, you know me, Mr.Jokester, like, oh, you joining my
gym?
Finally he goes, no, I gottatalk to you quick.
I'm like, oh yeah, Come on in.
But he came on and he goes,hey, are you baiting?
I'm like, oh yeah, it's browncon, I can bait.
(43:29):
He goes, yeah, we just changedthe law like literally last year.
I'm like, okay, so where's,where, where's the law change?
Where's the update?
He goes, there's no update.
I'm like, that's where I.
Then I'll admit it, that'swhere I screwed up.
I didn't look at the law, you know.
He goes, are you being behindyour brother in law's like oh yeah,
I got, hey, get out of the camera.
And I'm like, I'm like, yeah.
Like I'm not gonna lie to him.
(43:50):
Like yeah, I got a mineralblock out there, you know, blah blah.
And he goes, hey, can you, canyou go take it out for me?
I'm like what the hell?
He goes, yeah, new law nowWisconsin is in Brown county is 24
hours before opening morningyou a loud debate.
Well, okay, well as a goodfriend, I'm not going to lie to him.
I'm going to go out there, youknow, and I have his personal number.
(44:11):
So I went out there, take itout and I know who called me in is
my brother in law's neighbor.
He's a freaking, he'signorant, he's very, he's just not
a good person.
Like whatever.
That's all I'm going to say.
So I want to know there.
And as I'm at my spot takingon my I, I called Colin.
I, he goes, hey Craig, you there?
I'm like, yeah, taking all myI told column.
Like wait, how do you actuallyknow that I'm actually physically
(44:31):
removing this Jurassic block.
He goes, you can send me apicture, I can send you a picture.
But doesn't mean I'm going tothrow it right back up to the pile.
But I didn't do that.
I took it out as a respect toColin, you know, and stuff like that.
And I, I didn't bait no more.
But it's just the rules like,like squash saying like you really,
no matter what stage you'rein, you know, you don't know what
they're going to change it andthey don't tell you, they just, they
(44:52):
change it and boom, that's it.
I mean it is what it is.
I respect it.
I'm not going to ever, ever goagainst any law in Wisconsin about
what you can and cannot do.
And it's just, I don't know,it's, it's not frustrating to me,
because I, I understand it, Iget it.
But like, you look atWisconsin map, you know, and there's
only Brown county.
(45:15):
Whatever.
There's only like fourcounties in the whole entire state.
That's legal debate.
I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
There's something wrong with that.
Imagine if you're gonna haveonly four calling.
I just block it all off.
I mean, whatever.
But whatever.
Well, that's kind of like,like we're allowed to hunt.
But also.
Well, see, that's kind of likehere in Michigan, you know, right
(45:38):
across the road or the lakefrom you, where we are for last year.
Last year and every yearbefore that during the Liberty hunt
or, or early season hunt,you're able to take a buck.
Yeah.
Last year they're like, oh,this follow this coming year.
It's does only.
And then everyone was getting pissed.
So they discreetly was like,okay, you can take a buck and it
(46:01):
or you buck or a doe, doesn't matter.
But they never like announcedit out or made it publicly known.
It was always like, we heardit from the blind hunter from last
episode and I looked into itand it's like, yeah, that's, that's
actually a thing now.
Like, I can harvest a buck,but the DNR never puts it out.
(46:22):
And they are really good atnot telling you everything.
And you, you as a hunter oweit to yourself to really dig into
the laws and the rules andregulations and to make sure that
you're hunting legally.
I agree.
More.
Yep.
I respect that.
In the police world at least,that's what we use was ignorance
(46:44):
of the law is not an excuse.
Yeah.
So I think when they do shadylike that, it's like you have a black
and white, but you also havethat gray of area of club that I
called life.
And the DNR officer that youhad interaction with, Greg sounds
like a great dude.
He knows there's a difference between.
(47:04):
Oh no, the law states this.
You.
Here's your fine.
You can't help for the rest ofyour life.
Yep.
But you get those situationswhere you just don't know because
they, they do backdoor likethat and it's stupid.
Yep, 100%.
And I'm glad though thatJohnny, now you can harvest a buck
during Liberty hunt becausenow you can go shoot giant monster
(47:26):
buck way before hunting season.
You.
Well, hey, I'm also going toshoot a bull elk before that season
too.
Yeah.
Honestly, John, I. I thoughtyou were going to say like, hey Brett,
why don't you go shoot a doughlike I. I don't know.
That's what I thought he wasgonna say.
I bet you within the nextthree years, Brett will share the
(47:47):
dough.
This year, Brett does not.
There's a guy that's got alure company.
He has a buddy thataccompanies him, but he calls him
the boatless angler becausethe guy catches all his fish from
the shore.
And we have our dolus hunter,which is Brett.
I'm hoping to God.
I, I just.
(48:07):
It.
It really baffles the hell outof me how you could.
I don't.
I don't understand.
I, I.
You know, I'm not trying topick on you, bro.
No, no, no, no.
I understand.
These damn go here.
It's like, I could.
I could literally go like thisright now and probably let an arrow
fly and kill one in thebackyard without even.
We also, like I said, we alsohave a family rule where if you see
(48:29):
a doe come out with.
With yearlings and stuff like that.
We have, like, yearling.
We have, like.
It's just a family rule thatwe follow.
Drops the yearlings hanging around.
You drop them.
Shoot the yearling.
Yeah.
The dragon or tender.
It's just hard to find asingle dough at hand.
And then when you try.
Shoot the dough.
She's smart.
And then when I do shoot her,I shoot them too high in no man's
(48:51):
land.
I can't find them, and I just.
You have to kill them, Brett.
You have to.
Yes.
You have to kill them.
I have no idea.
Don't just wound up and letthem die off somewhere.
Here's a fun fact.
The first vitals is the samesize as a buck's vitals.
Oh, really?
Really?
(49:12):
Yeah.
I had no idea.
You aim for that pocket,you're gonna drop her.
Dude.
The problem is.
The problem is the does don'tcome out in the afternoon.
They're mostly active in the morning.
Sure.
That'S.
You know, I'm just gonnapurposely send a photo every morning
that I'm in bed and just say,you can make fun of me all you want.
(49:33):
I'm catching some punts and Z's.
And.
I'll send pictures of medragging deer out.
Exactly.
Yep.
My dear, I don't know how long.
We'Re on here yet for, butquestion for you guys, okay?
And this is the first timethis has ever happened to me and
I've ever seen it on cell camera.
So this happened in the pier.
(49:54):
It came in this morning, had abig doe come in.
She was all up on the.
All up on the rope, whateverlike, literally, like, right up in
it.
Two minutes later, I had thesame do come back and her ears are
pinned, like, literally pinnedback, like, solid hardcore.
What makes.
Why would she be doing that?
Oh, she's mad.
(50:15):
So now is she mad?
Is she now in my eyes, like,she can't be mad at my mock's grave
because she was all up in that.
Yep.
So she's pissed off as in like another.
Like, what is it?
Something like maybe likemovement or like, people.
She's pissed off at your screen.
Okay.
Okay.
What did you put in the scrape?
(50:36):
What I put in the scrape?
Yeah.
What did you use on the ropeand stuff?
What'd you put on?
All I used was basic buck urine.
It's all I used there.
Anything that they feel is athreat or another animal.
Yep.
A dominant animal, especiallybuck lure, will make them pin their
ears back and they could get.
You know, they're going to getpissed off.
(50:57):
I've used decoys.
Yeah, Right.
And this was back when theywere just like.
Like that plasticky cardboardkind of material.
Spook a dough like youwouldn't freaking believe.
Okay.
I mean, I've had doe rear, youknow, get up and start swatting on
their freaking.
Yeah.
It's not early, you know, tooearly right now for them to start
(51:20):
have their.
Their pecking order and their.
Yeah.
You know, who's.
Who's in charge, you know, andespecially if it's an older, mature
doe and.
Yeah.
She's big and that.
Let me ask you this.
How would you feel.
How would you think your wifewould feel if she saw you in bed
with another chicken?
I'd be going to that chick'sfuneral the next morning.
(51:41):
She's pissed.
Like, why the.
Are you in my area?
Okay.
So, I mean.
Okay, that makes.
Honestly, that's.
That makes sense.
Now with that.
No, you're 100.
Right.
So now with that dole making that.
Making those, you know, signs.
Yep.
Is that.
Is that bad or good?
Like, as it is she gonna belike, okay, I'm.
I'm out.
(52:02):
I'm gone.
Or is she gonna keep comingback through?
You know what I mean?
I would say it depend on howfamiliar she is with that area.
Okay.
Like, has she.
Has she been there for a longperiod of time?
She's the only do.
Yep.
She's the only doe I have onthe urban piece with no fawns.
I say she.
(52:22):
They'd probably stick around.
Okay.
All right.
She'll stick around.
And if you don't take her thisseason, she's going to teach all
the younger fawns, newyearlings, of what's going to happen.
So you're going to starthaving smarter does.
I'm gonna kill her then.
Okay.
Yeah.
And we're gonna call you Brit.
Yeah.
Oh, no.
(52:43):
Oh, honestly.
God.
I already have it.
Honestly, I have it on paperright now.
When I killed my first doughthis year, first phase time call.
It's Brett.
I'm FaceTiming them and hedoesn't answer.
Guess what?
That call's gonna keep comingthrough till he answers the phone.
Listen, he won't, he won'tanswer you.
He doesn't even answer us.
(53:05):
I know.
Oh, I know.
It's, you know, it's like,it's like he must.
I know.
He's in the, he's in the gym.
That's what it is.
I, I get it.
You see him, See, I'm busy.
I'm busy, busy.
He's in the gym.
There's a lot of parking tickets.
He can drown a fish underwater.
(53:30):
James, you can build a snowmanout of rain.
I probably could.
Craig.
James, pay, pay attention tothe comments here.
Our good friend hidingunderneath the boogeyman's bed.
Our good buddy David.
Urban pursuit.
He said he doesn't use anybuck lure and tools that are out
(53:51):
of velvet and bucks begin tosplit off and try to establish themselves.
Yeah, that's a good point.
You know, that's a very good point.
It's got a good point.
Yeah.
Guys, honestly, not, not to besilly or gross, I piss in my scrapes,
everyone.
Oh, I, I do too.
I, I, I'm the same way.
Yeah.
I use.
I, I call it Squatch piss.
(54:13):
I'm gonna market it.
I'm gonna market it.
It's the best.
I, I can't help it, but it works.
In fact, I made one today andput it out in front of my camera.
So I'm waiting to see a buckcome in and start working.
I do it.
I do it as well.
I, I mean it's cheap.
It's cheap.
You, you drink a couple ofbeers and your kidneys are full and
you go out and water to scrape.
(54:33):
So it's.
Yep.
It's not that hard to do.
No, it's not.
You're right.
Squatch.
The Squatch.
You can make Chuck Norris cry.
Any last tips or anything likethat, guys?
Let's call it and have a great vacation.
I, I have, I have one more.
Let's do it.
Oh, everybody needs, everybodyneeds to give Brett a wake up call
(54:58):
when we're all going out inthe woods to make sure his lazy ass
is up.
Yeah, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
Wake up.
Wake up, everyone.
Yep.
Even my dog says wake the up.
Wait up.
I was wondering how the hellyou were doing that voice, but I
(55:20):
didn't know she was over there.
I thought you were throwingyour voice.
Yeah, I thought you had, likea. I thought you had, like, a mic.

That was good at thebeginning, but Craig James.
Yeah.
Underneath the boogeyman's bed.
We're, like, right across thelake from each other.
Well, that means we have tolink up then and hunt.
So.
Yeah, just absolutely man it.

Craig James makes water wet.
Craig James.
Craig James.
Damn it.
You breath.

Some of the great.
I'm not.
I'm not gonna go into theheritage, but there's that.
Well, tonight we're going tobe talking about tips and tricks
that we all kind of came upwith for you to have a successful
(03:13):
hunting season.
Johnny, you didn't get the memo?
Come on.
No, I didn't, but, I mean,I've had a successful.
Got to do the wife beater like.
Brett, show your tattoos up.
There we go.
Hold on.
Yeah, Come on.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
There we go.
Nice.
(03:33):
All right.
That's right.
Now you guys look legit.
God, those tattoos look like ass.
These tattoos look like.
Oh, you're talking about yours.
No, yours talks like.
Oh, you can thank mine foryour freedom.
You just said in a minute agothose guys.
(03:54):
Well, yeah, I didn't say that.
You can't.
You guys look like walking.
Yes, I can.
Yeah, you can.
Go ahead.
Scream of speech.
That's right.
So you.
Johnny, I say it all the time.
Yeah.
All right, so what the is thisshow about Tonight?
Let's get to the get.
We're giving her tips andtricks on how to have a successful
season.
All right.
Tips and tricks like we wantpeople to hunt like us or tips and
(04:16):
tricks how, like, does it just like.
What do you think that youcould help have?
What advice do you think youcould give?
So that way people can avoid.
So that way they have asuccessful hunting season.
So for instance, myself.
I wrote stuff down.
You did?
Yeah.
Unlike you guys apparently.
Didn't do.
Oh, no, I got it all up here.
(04:37):
I don't need to write down.
Okay, let me find where mynotes is for this section only.
Like, people that went tospecial ed had to write things down.
Oh, yeah, Yeah.
I had to make a list.
I have to follow the list.
Here's Justin's comment.
Here's a tip.
Brett, get out of bed.
Yeah.
No tip number one through three.
(04:58):
Brett, get out of bed.
Don't take melatonin the night before.
All right, Number one of mineis dial in your shot under a hunting
condition.
So in this, a lot of the onesthat I'm going to be talking about
are more archery based becausethat's all I do this arch.
Oh, yeah.
So if you got to practice in.
(05:20):
In very.
At varying distances.
So I practice up from 20 toabout 70, 75.
And then practicing from atree Stand.
I haven't practiced from thesaddle yet.
I just got the saddle.
So I'm now.
I'm gonna be working on that now.
But also in.
What I also like to do is likepush ups, jumping jacks, and like
(05:40):
that to get the heart rate pumping.
That way it somewhat simulatesthe feeling of when a big buck comes
in and then.
And when it's like dark out too.
So in.
In low light situations.
Stuff like that.
I'll get you, huh?
Like a spotlight?
No, no, like when the sun is setting.
Like it, like now, like whenit's like getting like a little darker
(06:02):
and stuff like that.
So you practice spotlighting gear.
I was like, wait a minute.
That's a leader.
Only legal if you get caught, though.
True.
Unless you're native.
We can do it.
I am, I am.
I am as well.
I know.
Okay.
First nation, though.
Nice.
Nice.
(06:24):
So I got one that I'm actuallyworking on right now is come September,
end of August, I stop washingwith like girly soaps.
You know, in other words, likescented stuff or whatever.
I go to just, you know, no smell.
I use natural, like deodorantthat doesn't have any scent to it,
(06:47):
but it stops you from smellinglike a squatch.
And you know, just go.
You got to take the scentstuff away from you.
Get it out of your blood, outof your pores.
But I always do it like a goodmonth ahead this way, you know, I
don't have those like, youknow, like, what is it like, you
know, the freaking body washsmells and all that stuff you wash
(07:08):
with.
You know, I don't.
I don't use any of that.
I'll go to my unscented and Iuse Senna's ass.
And so I believe in his products110.
It's really good stuff.
Jim's a good dude.
I like him a lot.
Yes, he is.
Yes, I have my comments on that.
(07:29):
But Johnny, you have one and then.
Or you just want me to say mything on set?
No, no, go ahead, say yours.
It's gonna be wrong, but goahead and say it.
No, it's not wrong.
It's legit.
I think.
I think scent.
Don't get me wrong.
Do your best to help eliminatescent control altogether.
But, like, you can't.
I'm gonna tell you, my dearlove, my grapeseed and my coconut
(07:51):
oil that I put in my hair.
It attracts them.
They come in so hot and heavyevery single time when I put it in.
It's ridiculous.
I would come running in if Ismell grape Seed, I mean I would
be in full, full rut.
Antlers up, head down.
I'm coming.
I'm coming.
Antlers up and head down.
(08:15):
So the only thing I spray ismy boots.
I don't, I never sprayanything else.
I'm not ever worried about it though.
I don't smoke or anything likethat though.
So I really don't worry abouta scent that I'm bringing in that's,
that's really unnatural to, totheir environment to a certain degree.
Yep.
And everything else that I uselike as far as, like as I mean is
(08:36):
paraben free, dye free,everything else.
So I've never worried about it.
And I kill big bucks every year.
I know.
Go ahead.
No, go ahead.
No, you're good.
I'm okay.
(08:58):
I am not a big man on scent control.
Believe it or not.
I play the wind.
I work that, that aspect of everything.
My biggest thing is shooting.
I practice year round fromdifferent positions.
That is my go to.
How many arrows you shoot aday or like, or throughout.
(09:18):
Like would you say like aweek, a month?
What per month?
I'm at about 500 to 600 arrowsa month because I shoot a lot on
the weekends if I have a dayoff of work.
I shoot a lot weatherdependent too.
But I'm on average betweenfive and six hundred arrows a month.
It's good.
(09:39):
I, I generally try to stickaround like, like 10 to 20 shots
a day or like throughout theweek because.
Well, at least more towardsthe, the beginning part of like spring
and summer just to make sure Iget like formed down correctly and
stuff like that.
And that kind of like leads into.
My next one is perfecting youranchor point and release to really
(10:01):
dial in that aspect of yourarchery shot to make sure they're
forming.
Everything there is perfect.
I think at the beginning ofthe part of the year quality over
quantity is better.
But then once August startsrunning around September then you
should be really dialed in atthat point and like you gotta start
repping that out like you are.
(10:23):
So I looked at it as, youcan't sacrifice quality over quantity.
I will shoot 500 arrows a month.
Each arrow has its own purpose.
Yeah, I'm shooting fromstanding, kneeling, sitting, cross
legged.
I'm shooting from everyposition you can.
I'm not focusing on that target.
I'm focusing on center of the badge.
(10:44):
Right.
I'm, I'm shooting the Dr.
Consistent arrows.
Getting the muscle memorybuilt in, getting that consistent
draw.
Set that anchor.
Where am I at?
Move my thumb, hit the release.
How, how's my My front hand.
How is everything going?
What is that looking like?
Okay, I perfect that.
Now I can, like you said,implement the jumping jacks, the
(11:06):
push ups, everything like that.
Get that heart rate up.
Now you practice that good.
Set that, that anchor point,that mem.
That muscle memory.
And just do that all year.
And once it comes time tohunting season, you're up in that
tree stand or that saddle orround, blind or wherever you are,
and you draw back.
It's all 100.
(11:26):
Muscle memory.
Yeah, I agree with that onthat point.
Everything's come down.
At the end of the day,everything comes down to muscle memory.
And have you practiceunconventional shots.
Like I've told you guys thestory of.
I've said it countless timesof when I had to show fish like,
like when he was.
I had like squat.
Never practiced that position before.
(11:47):
Yeah.
Oh.
Sometimes you gotta thinkoutside of the shit like positions
too.
So I'll shoot like I have myjelly puck set up.
And I'll shoot leaning out ofthat right side lean, left side,
lean, shoot.
You know, practice shootingout of the saddle.
Strong hand, weak hand.
Do that, shoot from awkwardangles, positions.
(12:08):
I mean, I'll shoot in everysingle position.
I'll spend a week shooting,kneeling, you know, both.
Both knees on the ground,kneeling, like that.
I'll shoot, you know, rightknee on the ground, right left knee
on the ground.
And I just do that, you know,one week, focus on one style of shooting.
I'll perfect it and then I'lljust change it up.
Throughout the entire spring,into summer, fall comes.
(12:32):
I'm comfortable shooting any position.
Squatch.
You have another one or youwant me to go next?
Yeah, I can add one there.
So this time of the year, liketoday for instance, I went out and
started setting up morecameras on the property.
Seen a couple of good bucksthat I'm after.
There's also a 350 pound bearmoving around.
(12:54):
So where I have cameras setup, I needed to put a couple more
from like east to west becausethat's the movement in that.
That property.
And it's a hundred acres.
So I broke out the.
The E bike and rode overthere, rode into the woods.
Worked out pretty good.
Was able to cover a lot ofground and very little time.
Just getting stuff up there,not making a lot of noise.
(13:15):
But this is the time now, likeif you're gonna let you know, cameras
just kind of sit and marinate.
It's.
This is the time.
Don't be going in much soonerand putting your scent around and,
you know, letting them knowyou're there because you're going
to teach them.
But I, I actually had to getinto the opposite side of a transition
(13:38):
zone, which is a beaver damthat the deer cross over to come
to one of my stands.
And I was actually huntinglast year in the saddle across from
there because I had somepictures of a buck.
So basically, set your camerasup, try to get a timestamp and direction.
It's very important right nowin early season, if you want to get
a buck down quick when the ruthits, all bets are off.
(14:00):
Just be in the woods.
But we went out, Frank and Iwent up to his property too, and
put cameras out this weekend.
And, you know, we're gettingsome pictures already.
Nothing huge, but we're.
Our ideas were right where wethought they were moving.
So this is kind of like thelast ditch time for you to get cameras
set up.
Kind of, you know, leave themmarinate, leave them alone.
(14:20):
Don't, don't keep your scent around.
There were some little, littlelate rain showers today, so that
was good.
It'll kind of wash stuff offup here, you know.
Yeah, we had a little rain come.
Through last couple days.
Last couple days, yeah.
Yeah.
And it only rained for likemaybe 45 minutes, if that.
Yeah, so that was nice.
(14:41):
I, I think my next one, I'mgoing to say is master quiet movement.
What I mean by that is likedrawing a bow is slow and deliberate
practice drawing in slowmotion and freezing mid draw.
If the deer looks your way.
Many archeries, many archeryhunters lose the shot here.
So I can't, I'm assuming youguys happen to you while as you're
(15:04):
drawing back and then you getstuck there and you're like, well,
shit, now all of a sudden thatbig one's looking at you.
Yep.
You have to know when to draw.
I mean, especially if you'rehunting from the ground and all of
a sudden you have that, youknow, that two second window to draw.
And if you hesitate one bit asyour mid draw, you get spotted and
(15:27):
now you have all that weightback in your draw hand and you just
start shaking it and you say,okay, do I let it go and get busted
or do I pull it back and get busted?
That was always a huge thingwith me when I hunted from the ground.
I'll get busted pullinghalfway back.
It's like, all right, well nowI have to commit all the way back,
quit aim, and I'll practicethat shot too.
(15:49):
In the backyard, I have mytarget out and I'll go halfway.
Hold it, you know, count tofive, pull it back and release and
try to get that shot off asfast as I can and as accurate as
I can.
Killed that buck three yearsago with him looking right at me.
For freaking five minutes, helooked right at me.
And the minute that he wasdistracted, I was able to draw back
(16:11):
and put the shot on him andkill him at 18 yards.
But talk about sitting there,you know your bow.
I was actually using the bowto block my face between him and
me because I was in the ready.
But another thing, too, thatyou gotta.
You know, a lot of guys don't understand.
You're 3D shooting and allthis crap.
You're doing the rainbow draw.
(16:32):
Oh, yeah.
Oh, you can't do the rainbowdraw when you got a big buck staring
you down.
It's got to be straight out.
Your pin should be on what youwant to hit, and you should be able
to come straight back to your anchor.
And when you're back there,then you just touch that release
off.
I used to take people, when Itaught them, I'd say, take two fingers
(16:54):
and put it around the string.
Why?
I said start drawing back slow.
I can't.
Then there's too much poundageon the bow for you.
Yep.
You need to drop your poundage.
So I always teach people whenI break people in or try to, they
come to me for lessons or whatever.
Two fingers on a string.
If you can't pull that bowback slow enough, then you got to
drop poundage.
Now when I draw mine, I'll.
(17:15):
I'll do the whole push pullmethod where as I'm pulling back,
I'll push out.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
And that saved me a lotbecause for the longest time, I'd
have my bow out, my arm out,and I just pull back.
And it's all 100% back muscle.
And yeah, you can do it.
That's fine.
It sucks.
But once you can lock in andyou, you know, you do that whole
(17:39):
push, pull, and it's 50% push,50% pull.
So much easier, you know?
You know, Johnny, how youwere, like, in the police, in the.
I'm assuming in the army,you're also trained to, like, push
out with your gun like this.
When you come back out, you'relike, pushing like that.
Yeah, that's how that's like.
That's what I'm thinking whenI'm doing that push, pull.
Like, I'm thinking of that.
(18:00):
Yeah, that and keeping myelbows in.
Yeah, I always keep my elbows in.
I don't want to make that widetarget and pull all the way back
on.
Keep everything tight to my core.
Pull up back and then draw itlike that.
Yeah.
Making sure everything's slowand deliberate and making sure you
don't get.
Yeah.
(18:20):
And if it's that mature doethat's spotting, you drop her.
Just shoot her.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah.
The whispers.
The woods whispers.
They die.
Yeah, they die.
She blows.
She does.
Yep.
Yeah.
I can't.
When was was like two yearsago, I was out in the woods and I
(18:41):
couldn't draw back on thisdeer because I heard like six does.
And one of them just keptstaring at me.
She just was like.
She wasn't doing.
She wasn't like, stomping herfoot yet, and she wasn't blowing,
but she just kept looking atme and just, like, moving her head
and like bouncing her head around.
I'm like, don't you do it, you little.
Don't do it.
What are you doing here?
(19:02):
It's not even noon yet.
I so shocked.
I was out in the hunting right.
Stand before they got acontract with Brett.
No hunting before noon.
Yeah.
See, there's a deal I madewith a deer, okay?
I gave them permission.
We both agreed.
I don't hunt them until 2:30.
(19:23):
Bambi Local 332 Union.
Yeah.
Oracle 3.2.0 cannot be hunteduntil after 3.
So I. I got another one.
Yeah, go ahead.
All right.
So this time of the year, withall the shooting that you've been
(19:45):
doing and practicing, like ourguru Johnny, who shoots 500 arrows
a month, I work a lot of side work.
I don't have that much time,but I will start knuckling down and
getting some arrows flung.
But being that you've been to3D shoots, you've been shooting in
the backyard, I would say thisis the time to lock everything down.
(20:07):
Double check the way yourbroadheads are flying on your arrows
if you haven't shot them already.
Time to sharpen yourbroadheads, Whether they're brand
new, out of the box or you'vebeen using them.
Touch them up.
If you can't.
Stretch a rubber band betweenyour fingers and gently pass that
broadhead through therewithout cutting it.
They're not sharp.
(20:28):
You'll lose a deer.
So this is the time to triplecheck everything.
Make sure all your stand stuffis tight.
The grit steps that I use haveallen keys that hold the step to
the main center portion.
So you go back and make surethey're tight because you don't want
stuff loosening up on you, you know?
(20:49):
So this is.
This is the time.
This is like, you know, preignition, get ready, make sure all
your ducks are in a row.
If you gotta replace straps onyour fixed stands, don't wait to
do it.
Like, get up there and go, oh,it broke.
Or it breaks while you're init and you get hurt, this is the
time to get all your stuff together.
(21:11):
That leads kind of like intomy next point that I was gonna say
was staying mentally tough.
Because in the archery season,I mean, you guys know the same thing.
I know those misses are goingto happen, those blowing opportunities
are going to happen, and thosemoments where it's just like, I want
to quit hunting.
I hate this.
And you just, like, you feellike you just want to give it all
(21:33):
up.
We got to learn from thosemistakes, and they're going to happen.
It's been happening for me for20 years of hunting, now happening
for Johnny, for the hundredyears that he's been alive.
Whoa, whoa, wait.
I'm sorry.
I'm at squash.
And.
And Johnny, for his 60 yearsthat he's been alive, too.
(21:54):
So it's gonna happen, okay?
Accept it.
Move the on.
Don't be a pussy about it anddwell in it.
Absolutely.
Accept it and move the up.
Learn from it, though.
I'll say this.
You can dwell in those.
Like, let's say you shot adeer, you shot above them, you shot
below him, you missed.
Okay, you can have that.
(22:15):
I'll give you that moment fromwalking from your stand back up to
your house in your car, andyou drive back home.
That's the entire time thatyou gotta dwell on that.
As soon as you get home, yougotta lock that ship and move the
on.
Right?
So right now, how often do youshoot your.
(22:35):
Shoot your bow during season?
So that's another thing likethat happens to me.
Opening day, a doe came out.
A good, mature doe came out.
I pulled back, took a shot,and hit brisket.
And it was a bad shot.
It was on me.
And I was like, what the hell?
I killed a buck earlier duringearly season, like a weekend before.
(22:59):
And I looked at my sight,housing was super loose by your hand.
I was like, well, what the hell?
So then I made it a point to.
After each hunt I did to shootmy bow at the house to make sure
that it was still on spot, youknow, Spot on.
Yeah.
And our fourth host, who's onsometimes, and occasionally Dave,
(23:22):
brought that up to me one day.
He's like, hey, you shouldprobably shoot your bow every night
once you get home.
I'm like, yeah, that's not abad idea.
Yep.
Just Whatever arrow you havein it, sling it.
Oh yeah, it's still within,you know, that time of a group.
If I would have done thatbeforehand, I would have known.
Oh, my sight's loose.
Tighten it up, make sure it's good.
Okay.
(23:42):
The next day you're good to go.
I would have dropped thatdough but because I didn't do that
and I just assumed that mysite housing was good, my sights
were all set.
I didn't even pay attention.
Come to find out it was looserthan and I missed completely and
it was all on me.
(24:02):
I try to at least shoot once.
Like it's.
So I hunt at my parents house.
I have a target there and I'llshoot one arrow before I go out in
the woods.
It's like pre checking yourship before you go out in the, in
the field.
That's my version of it.
So I'm just shooting.
Oh, I'll take, I'll do two.
One, they get the nerves out.
The second to make sureeverything's still working good.
(24:25):
Well like you said, perfectly though.
There's still going to betimes though you can have those opportunities
like you miss where you knowit's on you.
Or oh yeah, something else islike well crap, that was not me.
That was a technical issue.
Like a mechanical type thing.
Yep.
But what I'm saying is peoplelike Squatch and I who go out into
the woods well before sun up.
(24:47):
Yeah.
We're sitting out there, wecan't shoot our bows before we go
out because it's too dark thenight before once we're in and our
bobat or our, you know, targetblotches in the garage or something.
Something with light becausewe've been out from sun up to sundown.
Well, when it's dark out whenI walk out, I just shoot.
(25:10):
And if something screams, Iknow I was on.
Oh, I've done that one before too.
Yeah, it's like you're walkingaround, what the hell?
And you just like lob an arrowall 300 style.
Do like maybe like you know, a300 yard shot.
And then if you hear somebodylike ow.
You know your bow is on.
That's.
Yeah, yeah, it's all.
I use the force from Star Wars.
(25:31):
Yes.
Yeah, I'm just like, oh,that's right about right here.
I used the Schwartz.
Yes, Schwartz works better.
Gotta use the shorts.
You know they're making asecond one, right.
They better do it justice.
Oh my God.
That's all I'm saying.
(25:51):
Spaceballs, the movie.
That was the gas movie on the planet.
That was awful.
Piss poor.
We can't be friends.
No.
All right, Squatch.
Yeah, thank you.
If you do not like them, you.
Want to tell me that.
That you, Squatch, aren't amovie guy and you watched Spaceballs
(26:13):
and you liked it?
Yes, because I'm a John Candyfan and I love Spaceballs.
It was a hilarious movie.
God, that was just.
No, that was an amazing movie.
Mel Brooks is a goddamn.
Yes, he's a genius.
That movie was giant ass.
No, it wasn't like watchingthat movie was like.
(26:35):
Are you.
Are you kidding me?
It was like worst.
It was just.
Just terrible.
Hey, he's from the wrong time.
That's.
I know he is.
He doesn't understand that.
That.
I'll say this.
My own best friend.
Yeah, super true.
They're making a SuperTroopers 3.
(26:55):
Shut the up, Brett.
Well, that wasn't even like that.
I don't think some of theparts of that was all right, but
it was kind of dumb.
What.
What were you talking about?
That movie was like a godsendof a hilarious comedy wrapped all
in one.
I'll give you on the secondone, maybe the second one, yes, it
wasn't as funny, but the firstone was amazing because.
(27:19):
Because you're.
You're.
You're from that cop.
You know, you're a cop.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
It had nothing to do becauseof the cop world.
Yeah, it does.
It's because that movie wasjust amazing.
A lot of that.
They probably based a lot ofit off of what you did, so that's
what made it funny.
Do you know who MichaelWinslow is?
Yeah, yeah.
Brett doesn't.
Brett doesn't know who MichaelWinslow is.
(27:41):
He made Spaceballs.
Yeah, good for that dude.
What do you want me to do?
They had the bleeps, the sweetand the creeps.
Comb the desert, man.
We ain't found.
I hope they should start themovie with that.
But they're still out in the desert.
(28:03):
The two black dudes should go.
We still ain't found.
We ain't found.
I just want to end the shownow because of the way you guys talk
about this gay movie.
Dude, my dad loves that movieand I tell him, dad, you're a idiot.
You're.
That movie is so terrible.
Your dad gets it.
(28:24):
You're among freaking millennial.
You don't get it.
You look at everyone thatyou've talked about this movie with
and you are the oddball out.
I don't know what it is.
Okay, like you don't know whatthat movie Is.
And yet you're giving toeveryone else who knows it.
(28:44):
And you're.
That I watched it like 10years ago and the reason I watched
it one time is because it waspiss awful.
I couldn't even finish thestupid fucking movie on the first
note.
And two, a reason I don'tremember it that well is because
I purposely threw it up on mybrain because of how disgusting and
disturbing that movie was.
(29:05):
Now what about Monty Python?
That one.
I haven't seen that one.
Did you get it?
That one?
Yeah.
He doesn't know.
What do you mean?
That one?
Do you know who Monty Pythonin the flying circus is?
He has no clue.
No, I don't know what the that is.
Oh my God.
Either way.
All right, we're gonna talkabout back onto hunting.
(29:27):
Else.
Okay, the next one here isthat I wrote down here is Hunting,
Hunting the times.
Okay, so focus your efforts onthe cold front, the rut and the weather
changes.
Deer move best when conditions shift.
So like, what's a good example?
Waking up early now, thermalstretch of days, like a good stretch
(29:53):
of like four to five dayswhere it's.
This is like consistent type weather.
And then like next that likesix day or something, it's gonna
drop off into like really cold fronts.
Watch for those days right there.
Yeah, any, any temperaturedifference of like 10 or 15 degrees
is time.
Whether it's, you know, it'sgonna be warmer and it drops down,
(30:13):
it gets colder.
That's a key time to get outand hunt.
Also after it stops raining,get it in the woods and hunt, you
know?
Yeah.
So yeah, whether weather,barometric pressure, the full moon,
all those play a lot withanimal movements, fish movements.
My biggest thing that I, Ireally like years ago with Jeff Murray
(30:35):
came on and he was, he hadlike the, the lunar wheel.
I'm telling you, man, Ithought it was bullshit.
I would follow that thing.
And every time that thingsuggested a spot to be at a certain
time of day, it was rightaccording to the moon.
And I know as a fisherman thatit affects fish, the barometric pressure.
(30:56):
It also affects the way deermovement is and how and when they
feed and when they bed.
But the key factor, five daysbefore the full moon, you'll get
the full moon, that's a low.
And then five days after,that's the time, especially if there's
a temperature change of like15 or so degrees.
Get your butt in the woods allday and hunt.
(31:21):
So I have a little surprisefor you guys.
You're gonna come out of the closet.
Who's this.
Hey.
Oh.
What'S up, guys?
What's going on, man?
Not much.
Hey, Craig, is it all right?
Like, like Dave Chappelle usedto say, I'm Rick James.
Can we just.
(31:42):
I'm Craig James.
No, that makes.
That actually sounds better.
That actually sounds better.
That does, man.
That's pretty good.
Hey, have you seen the movie Spaceballs?
Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
Yes, I have.
What are your thoughts on it?
It's an amazing movie.
Right?
What's your thoughts on it?
(32:03):
All right.
How old are you?
How old are you?
No, I'm only 37.
Yes.
I'm not the only one thatthinks it sucks.
It's an amazing movie.
Doesn't suck.
Oh, yeah.
See what you walked into, Craig?
(32:24):
Yeah.
We don't talk about hunting onthe show.
That we argue about stupidmovies now.
We're talking about Mel Brooks films.
What about Blazing Saddles?
The best.
Dare someone to say somethingbad about that one.
The best.
Never seen it.
Yeah, I've never seen it.
Never seen it.
I was hoping I wasn't thefirst one.
Like, I never seen that.
God damn.
The sheriff is near.
(32:45):
Yeah.
Yeah.
Howard Johnson is right, man.
Anyway, what are you doing nowto get ready for the season coming
up?
Push ups.
Honestly, like a lot of push ups.
What I'm doing now is like,well, yesterday went to my urban
(33:06):
spot.
I had to move a stand.
I knew I had to do it and youknow, like, I'm just trying to stay
out of there as much as Ipossibly can.
So I gave it a three week spanand I went in there yesterday.
It was windier than went.
Hung my.
Hang on sand, please don't.
I.
Basically the spot that I haveit in, I.
(33:26):
Everyone can say they'rejacked up, they're ready.
This is the spot.
Do you know it's gonna be the spot?
No, but the sign that I see inthe urban spot and the amount of
property that I have availableto me, I think if I do everything
right, play my cards right,just like as I just got on here,
squad saying about the.
The temperature we drop, youknow, the thermal, stuff like that,
(33:47):
like, I know I can do this right?
And it just.
This spot just feels different.
I mean, I mean, my cellcamera, it goes off every single
day.
I mean, if I'm gonna kill theearly season, though, it's gonna
be the spot.
And I guarantee you, if theweather is right here in Wisconsin,
September 13th, openingmorning, and the wind's right, I
(34:10):
will kill a dough.
I mean, they're just effingeverywhere in there, dude.
You know, the how I preparedfor it is just.
I learned a lot.
I'm 37 years old, I'm still learning.
I'm gonna, I'm gonna learnnext year, I'm gonna learn the year
after.
But like, just staying the outof the woods is the biggest thing
for me.
(34:30):
Noticing it on my family land,my brother in law's land.
Just stay out.
I mean, you got your batteriesin there, you got what you need in
there.
The sense the scrapes scented.
Stay out.
I mean, I used to be the guy,I'm not gonna lie.
I used to be the guy to go in there.
Oh, I gotta.
Got one more send on the screen.
No, just stay out.
And I've noticed a bigdifference, I guess myself on my
(34:54):
cell cameras of daylightmovement of just not being in the
woods.
Just stay out.
Yep.
And that's the biggest thingon me because I hunt a lot of public
land.
Well, that's all I hunt.
So you're like, okay, well Ineed to go out there and I need to
move my cameras around.
I need to do this, I need todo that.
But then you're like, I'mgetting deer all the time and do
(35:16):
I.
Do I really need to?
No.
And then every once in a whileI'll have, you know, trail camera
footage of someone walkingthrough the woods.
And I'm like, well, are theyscrewing up my hunt?
No, they're not.
Because I've had them out allsummer and this is the first time
I've had them on.
Okay, but it is public.
Do I need to.
Like, you're constantlyrunning through these scenarios in
(35:38):
your head on public, andyou're like, you just have to really
focus on not focusing on thatand just saying, hey, you know what?
I'm in a good spot, I have it done.
It's okay.
And just take a step back and.
And like you were saying, Iget updates all the time on my cameras.
I'm running five moultriesright now on state land.
(35:59):
I'm constantly getting updatesand getting photos of deer.
I'm looking at them like, oh,well, I know they're coming from
this way.
Do I want to move my camerasout here more to see where they're
coming from?
Yep.
And just leave it alone.
And that I have to tell myselfthat all the time.
I'm gonna just leave it alone.
Leave it alone.
Right there.
(36:19):
Come.
Or October 1st, just hunt that.
Hunt over it.
Yep.
Like you were saying too,John, like the other day, I think
it was.
No, it was Thursday when I washelping my Wife and daughter, get
ready for the market.
Whatever.
My cell camera went off into Pierre.
I'm like, oh, okay.
Come on, baby.
Nope, it was a person walking through.
I'm like, oh my God.
(36:40):
So right away in my mind,like, oh, another trespasser.
Like, go figure.
And this property, we've hadproblems with trespassing, homeless
people in there and out, blah,blah, the sheriff's department, which
is crazy to me now.
Hey, long story short, mybrother in law brought an urban property.
Yep.
It's right off of honestlymajor highway in Green Bay.
(37:00):
The sheriff's department isliterally right across the road.
And some of my best friendsare sheriff's department police officers.
And my buddy Mac goes, dude,we have the biggest problems with
this property.
I'm like, how?
You guys are right across the street.
Because that's the problem.
They are stealth.
They're sneaky.
It's.
It's bad.
(37:21):
Well, I, as a guy, that's verynot, I shouldn't say territorial,
but like, like I put a lot ofeffort and time into my summer prep
as.
As you guys all see and likeboggles me.
Like, am I doing all this for nothing?
And no, I'm not.
And I had the guy walk through.
I'm like, you got to be effing.
(37:41):
I mean, he literally had to abrush up against my camera.
And then I'm like, oh my God.
Like I'm.
I'm pissed off now.
Is he gonna screw up my.
Is he gonna.
What is he gonna do?
Honestly?
He walked through, camera's fine.
Everything's fine.
I was out there obviously acouple days after he was there.
And then I looked at the picture.
I'm like a.
He's wearing like a neon yellow.
He's probably like a powerline worker or something like that.
(38:03):
Yeah.
So it's like, okay.
So I talk to my buddy Mattreal quick.
I'm like, hey, do these.
He goes, if they're workingthe property, technically, Craig,
they're on the property.
They have access to the wholeproperty where they can check power
lines, which I respect that I do.
And I respect this guy.
Did I get a face of him?
No, it was just a, like a halfbody pitcher.
But like, it's like I alwaysfear the worst when I have somebody
(38:27):
else out there walking throughthe property when it's not me.
Like, is this going to screwup my season?
And honestly, no, because whenhe walked through two and a half
hours later, I had a freakingmonster doe come through and hit
my rope.
So it's like, it's urban Tooso urban.
Like, they're used to the traffic.
They're used to the people.
They're used to the assistantliving home next to me.
Like, I'm not stressing almostthat much is if now.
(38:49):
If that were to happen inCroco, I'd be a little bit more pissed
off.
But it is what it is, youknow, so it's just.
I'm excited.
Like, I'm pumped up.
Like, this is.
I don't know, like every yeareveryone always says, you know, this
is the year.
This is the year.
Everyone gets excited every year.
The year comes and comes, butfor some stupid reason, like, I just
(39:09):
feel like something weird thatit's gonna go down and I'm gonna
get that on camera.
I tell you that right now,it's gonna happen.
That kind of like leads into.
My last tip is plants aregonna go to.
But also enjoy the process.
You're gonna.
Well said.
You're gonna have the throughentire summer leading on to hunting
(39:31):
season.
Either pictures of deer, notpictures of deer.
No matter what that information.
You see of a deer.
So like if you dissect a photoof a deer, like I dissect it the
way the photo of the deer ispositioned in that photo.
What I mean is you.
Are you seeing his ass, whichdirection she's walking and this
and that.
(39:52):
They're going to give you alot of information just on the.
The way they're walkingthrough that photo.
Yep.
You're going to build anentire plan around this whole shoe.
Like, all right, he's walkingfrom here, here and here.
Perfect.
You said the imperfect plan.
You're going to snipe himright over there.
Guess what?
That won't even use that trailthe rest of the year.
He's going to come out 50yards to the south.
Exactly.
(40:13):
Yep.
Your plans are going to go to quickly.
Yep.
You got to be able to adaptfrom it, move on from it, and can
you think quick on your feet.
But the entire year, theentire part of the hunting season
when everything's going to.
When it's like, oh, I didn'tthink of this or I didn't plan for
this.
Guess what?
We're all experienced hunters.
(40:33):
We probably between us all got50 plus years combined.
And I guarantee you we allthink of one thing through the before
the hunting season.
Then once it comes, well,they're like, I didn't think of that.
It's gonna happen.
Yep.
So embrace it and move on.
I got another one to add if.
If I could real quick.
Yeah.
Is this.
(40:54):
This time of the Year.
Also make sure you brush up onthe new laws that are proposed for
that hunting season.
Especially here in New YorkState, our great and glorious governor
likes to make sure that theDEC switches things up.
And if you're not up on what'sgoing on for your local laws and
(41:17):
you take an animal and maybeit wasn't supposed to be or you didn't
know about an early season,you may miss out.
So you know, when you get yourtags, get your syllabus, read through
it, they'll have updates inthe front of the book.
This is the time to brush upon the local laws and stuff so you
(41:38):
don't get yourself in a pinch.
The other thing also that runsin hand in hand with that, if you're
hunting a private piece, makesure you go and talk to the people
again, even if it wassomething you set up last year.
Touch base, shake hands, letthem know you know, if you need anything,
(41:58):
you're there for them.
And also make sure you havewritten permission from that landowner
because Joe Schmo can walk inlike Craig's having problems with
and say, oh, Bob, Billy Bobtold me I can hunt here.
And if you have writtenpermission, you can say, well, where's
your written permission?
Yep.
So you know, the paperworkstuff, the syllabus stuff, knowing
(42:22):
your surroundings, knowingyour laws and where you're allowed
and where you're not supposedto be or not be doing, brush up on
that right now because youdon't want to look like a fool when
hunting season rolls around.
No, and honestly, I 100 agreethat because a couple years ago,
my brother in law, Jason, theybought a house off a bridge road
here in ceramic or whatever.
And it was just a little,little woods funnel and Brown county,
(42:47):
the laws in Wisconsin.
And like what Squash said,they change every year.
And the problem is when theychange every year in Wisconsin, it's
under the table.
They don't tell you thatthey're changing.
You getting to look up on therules and see them.
So I'll, I'll admit it, June,I was throwing all mineral, I was
throwing all 14 Jurassic parkmineral blocks, blah, blah, blah.
(43:08):
And I'm just getting ready togo coach Crossfit.
And all of a sudden I get adoor and knock on the door and my
buddy Colin comes up, he's adnr, is here knocking on the door.
I'm like, what the bro?
Right away, you know me, Mr.Jokester, like, oh, you joining my
gym?
Finally he goes, no, I gottatalk to you quick.
I'm like, oh yeah, Come on in.
But he came on and he goes,hey, are you baiting?
I'm like, oh yeah, it's browncon, I can bait.
(43:29):
He goes, yeah, we just changedthe law like literally last year.
I'm like, okay, so where's,where, where's the law change?
Where's the update?
He goes, there's no update.
I'm like, that's where I.
Then I'll admit it, that'swhere I screwed up.
I didn't look at the law, you know.
He goes, are you being behindyour brother in law's like oh yeah,
I got, hey, get out of the camera.
And I'm like, I'm like, yeah.
Like I'm not gonna lie to him.
(43:50):
Like yeah, I got a mineralblock out there, you know, blah blah.
And he goes, hey, can you, canyou go take it out for me?
I'm like what the hell?
He goes, yeah, new law nowWisconsin is in Brown county is 24
hours before opening morningyou a loud debate.
Well, okay, well as a goodfriend, I'm not going to lie to him.
I'm going to go out there, youknow, and I have his personal number.
(44:11):
So I went out there, take itout and I know who called me in is
my brother in law's neighbor.
He's a freaking, he'signorant, he's very, he's just not
a good person.
Like whatever.
That's all I'm going to say.
So I want to know there.
And as I'm at my spot takingon my I, I called Colin.
I, he goes, hey Craig, you there?
I'm like, yeah, taking all myI told column.
Like wait, how do you actuallyknow that I'm actually physically
(44:31):
removing this Jurassic block.
He goes, you can send me apicture, I can send you a picture.
But doesn't mean I'm going tothrow it right back up to the pile.
But I didn't do that.
I took it out as a respect toColin, you know, and stuff like that.
And I, I didn't bait no more.
But it's just the rules like,like squash saying like you really,
no matter what stage you'rein, you know, you don't know what
they're going to change it andthey don't tell you, they just, they
(44:52):
change it and boom, that's it.
I mean it is what it is.
I respect it.
I'm not going to ever, ever goagainst any law in Wisconsin about
what you can and cannot do.
And it's just, I don't know,it's, it's not frustrating to me,
because I, I understand it, Iget it.
But like, you look atWisconsin map, you know, and there's
only Brown county.
(45:15):
Whatever.
There's only like fourcounties in the whole entire state.
That's legal debate.
I'm like, yeah, I don't know.
There's something wrong with that.
Imagine if you're gonna haveonly four calling.
I just block it all off.
I mean, whatever.
But whatever.
Well, that's kind of like,like we're allowed to hunt.
But also.
Well, see, that's kind of likehere in Michigan, you know, right
(45:38):
across the road or the lakefrom you, where we are for last year.
Last year and every yearbefore that during the Liberty hunt
or, or early season hunt,you're able to take a buck.
Yeah.
Last year they're like, oh,this follow this coming year.
It's does only.
And then everyone was getting pissed.
So they discreetly was like,okay, you can take a buck and it
(46:01):
or you buck or a doe, doesn't matter.
But they never like announcedit out or made it publicly known.
It was always like, we heardit from the blind hunter from last
episode and I looked into itand it's like, yeah, that's, that's
actually a thing now.
Like, I can harvest a buck,but the DNR never puts it out.
(46:22):
And they are really good atnot telling you everything.
And you, you as a hunter oweit to yourself to really dig into
the laws and the rules andregulations and to make sure that
you're hunting legally.
I agree.
More.
Yep.
I respect that.
In the police world at least,that's what we use was ignorance
(46:44):
of the law is not an excuse.
Yeah.
So I think when they do shadylike that, it's like you have a black
and white, but you also havethat gray of area of club that I
called life.
And the DNR officer that youhad interaction with, Greg sounds
like a great dude.
He knows there's a difference between.
(47:04):
Oh no, the law states this.
You.
Here's your fine.
You can't help for the rest ofyour life.
Yep.
But you get those situationswhere you just don't know because
they, they do backdoor likethat and it's stupid.
Yep, 100%.
And I'm glad though thatJohnny, now you can harvest a buck
during Liberty hunt becausenow you can go shoot giant monster
(47:26):
buck way before hunting season.
You.
Well, hey, I'm also going toshoot a bull elk before that season
too.
Yeah.
Honestly, John, I. I thoughtyou were going to say like, hey Brett,
why don't you go shoot a doughlike I. I don't know.
That's what I thought he wasgonna say.
I bet you within the nextthree years, Brett will share the
(47:47):
dough.
This year, Brett does not.
There's a guy that's got alure company.
He has a buddy thataccompanies him, but he calls him
the boatless angler becausethe guy catches all his fish from
the shore.
And we have our dolus hunter,which is Brett.
I'm hoping to God.
I, I just.
(48:07):
It.
It really baffles the hell outof me how you could.
I don't.
I don't understand.
I, I.
You know, I'm not trying topick on you, bro.
No, no, no, no.
I understand.
These damn go here.
It's like, I could.
I could literally go like thisright now and probably let an arrow
fly and kill one in thebackyard without even.
We also, like I said, we alsohave a family rule where if you see
(48:29):
a doe come out with.
With yearlings and stuff like that.
We have, like, yearling.
We have, like.
It's just a family rule thatwe follow.
Drops the yearlings hanging around.
You drop them.
Shoot the yearling.
Yeah.
The dragon or tender.
It's just hard to find asingle dough at hand.
And then when you try.
Shoot the dough.
She's smart.
And then when I do shoot her,I shoot them too high in no man's
(48:51):
land.
I can't find them, and I just.
You have to kill them, Brett.
You have to.
Yes.
You have to kill them.
I have no idea.
Don't just wound up and letthem die off somewhere.
Here's a fun fact.
The first vitals is the samesize as a buck's vitals.
Oh, really?
Really?
(49:12):
Yeah.
I had no idea.
You aim for that pocket,you're gonna drop her.
Dude.
The problem is.
The problem is the does don'tcome out in the afternoon.
They're mostly active in the morning.
Sure.
That'S.
You know, I'm just gonnapurposely send a photo every morning
that I'm in bed and just say,you can make fun of me all you want.
(49:33):
I'm catching some punts and Z's.
And.
I'll send pictures of medragging deer out.
Exactly.
Yep.
My dear, I don't know how long.
We'Re on here yet for, butquestion for you guys, okay?
And this is the first timethis has ever happened to me and
I've ever seen it on cell camera.
So this happened in the pier.
(49:54):
It came in this morning, had abig doe come in.
She was all up on the.
All up on the rope, whateverlike, literally, like, right up in
it.
Two minutes later, I had thesame do come back and her ears are
pinned, like, literally pinnedback, like, solid hardcore.
What makes.
Why would she be doing that?
Oh, she's mad.
(50:15):
So now is she mad?
Is she now in my eyes, like,she can't be mad at my mock's grave
because she was all up in that.
Yep.
So she's pissed off as in like another.
Like, what is it?
Something like maybe likemovement or like, people.
She's pissed off at your screen.
Okay.
Okay.
What did you put in the scrape?
(50:36):
What I put in the scrape?
Yeah.
What did you use on the ropeand stuff?
What'd you put on?
All I used was basic buck urine.
It's all I used there.
Anything that they feel is athreat or another animal.
Yep.
A dominant animal, especiallybuck lure, will make them pin their
ears back and they could get.
You know, they're going to getpissed off.
(50:57):
I've used decoys.
Yeah, Right.
And this was back when theywere just like.
Like that plasticky cardboardkind of material.
Spook a dough like youwouldn't freaking believe.
Okay.
I mean, I've had doe rear, youknow, get up and start swatting on
their freaking.
Yeah.
It's not early, you know, tooearly right now for them to start
(51:20):
have their.
Their pecking order and their.
Yeah.
You know, who's.
Who's in charge, you know, andespecially if it's an older, mature
doe and.
Yeah.
She's big and that.
Let me ask you this.
How would you feel.
How would you think your wifewould feel if she saw you in bed
with another chicken?
I'd be going to that chick'sfuneral the next morning.
(51:41):
She's pissed.
Like, why the.
Are you in my area?
Okay.
So, I mean.
Okay, that makes.
Honestly, that's.
That makes sense.
Now with that.
No, you're 100.
Right.
So now with that dole making that.
Making those, you know, signs.
Yep.
Is that.
Is that bad or good?
Like, as it is she gonna belike, okay, I'm.
I'm out.
(52:02):
I'm gone.
Or is she gonna keep comingback through?
You know what I mean?
I would say it depend on howfamiliar she is with that area.
Okay.
Like, has she.
Has she been there for a longperiod of time?
She's the only do.
Yep.
She's the only doe I have onthe urban piece with no fawns.
I say she.
(52:22):
They'd probably stick around.
Okay.
All right.
She'll stick around.
And if you don't take her thisseason, she's going to teach all
the younger fawns, newyearlings, of what's going to happen.
So you're going to starthaving smarter does.
I'm gonna kill her then.
Okay.
