WEBVTT
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:01.840
Well, welcome back.
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:03.120
It's the Whitetail Realm.
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.160
We got Lane and Mason here on what is today, Lane?
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.080
October 20th or 21st?
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.400
I believe it is the 21st.
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:20.640
October 21st, Wednesday night, recording this podcast and doing it after the two guests on here, or I guess the guest and Lane on here have just got out of the woods.
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.679
We'll uh we'll get to that here in a little bit, but yeah, I finally got to make it out a couple times.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:28.320
Yeah.
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.280
Well, why don't you kind of introduce our guests we got here, Lane?
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:41.840
Well, uh, we have Eli Kidd, a good buddy of mine, and he killed a really good deer last year, and I think we're gonna kinda go over that.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.359
So, Eli kind of tell you a little us a little about yourself and kind of what you do and kind of how you got involved in the hunting thing.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.240
Well, like I said, I'm Eli or Lane said, I'm Eli.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.880
I like to hunt fish.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.320
What really got me into hunting was uh my great grandpa.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:11.519
He really sparked my interest in pursuing deer hunting and doing all these outdoor activities.
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.120
But that's awesome.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.560
That is awesome.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:29.760
I feel like I feel like it's awesome to see like I think my dad and you know, my grandpa growing up kind of got me involved, and I think the same thing like with Mason.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:40.079
So I feel like everybody it always starts you know with a grandpa or a dad and and that is something that I think we all have in common.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.000
Oh yeah, for sure.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.040
For sure.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:51.359
It's always about, you know, taking out the next generation and teaching them, you know, or you know, at least lighting the fuel for the passion that we all have.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.280
And like you said, it's the same story but a different verse for everybody, but it's always cool to hear how everyone gets started.
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.840
And Eli, you killed a really good deer last year, right?
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.439
Yeah, I killed a pretty good deer last year.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.840
He ended up scoring 153, and I didn't really know anything about this deer.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:26.800
I hunted a farm close to a guy you had on podcast, Guy, and I hunt around that area, and what telled me to not hunt in that area.
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:32.159
Guy was hunting a deer that he killed last year, and I didn't want to end up killing that for him.
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.039
Because I know he'd be pretty upset.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:51.280
So I had another farm that I went and hunted, hung a couple cameras and didn't really get much at first, but on October 3rd I got a picture of this deer, and it really sparked my interest on trying to get him laid on the ground.
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.560
He had pretty good mass on both sides of Zantlers.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.639
The palmation was the greatest part about the whole deer.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.240
Yeah, he he's a cool deer, and kind of like I like his beams kind of go out instead of like wrapping, you know what I mean?
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:08.800
Yeah.
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.879
Yeah, he he was a he's a cool deer.
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.199
Yeah, I'll I'll never forget the the phone call that morning.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.439
Eli was pumped up.
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.680
Like, he was stoked.
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.120
And it was actually like one of the the shortest blood trails I think I've ever been on.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.639
Like he absolutely like heartpunched this thing.
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.080
What uh what what broadheads are you shooting, Eli?
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:33.840
Swackers, man.
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.360
That's the only way to go.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.400
Oh man.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.919
You leave my morning.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.000
I always think it's cool.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:52.960
You know, there's a lot of broadhead companies out there, and we always ask people like Lane shoots Rages, I shoot Mega Meats, you shoot Schwackers, and like how loyal people are to it.
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.000
I always think it's cool.
00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:05.439
Like I've never even shot a Schwacker, won't ever do it because I love my Mega Meats, but it's just like we when no one gets outside of their bubble, they just like stick to what they like, and when you find something that works, why why fix it?
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.759
Hey, it's just that's just like bows.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:16.240
Like Lane got a new bow, well, last year, and Guy got a new bow, and I'm still rocking a Matthews Z7.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.319
At least you're on the right team.
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.720
So everybody has their own little bubble, so I'm still rocking the older bows.
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.160
Well, I'm like you're on the team.
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.399
We got Guy on the Matthews team, so we just gotta get Lane to get rid of his freaking boat anchor of a bow.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.040
What bow?
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.639
Have you shot Lane's bow?
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.480
I have not shot Lane's bow, no.
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.360
Well, you you you'll be able to throw your bow bow about a hundred yards if you ever pick up his.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.399
It's the heaviest freaking bow I've ever had in my life.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.199
Hey, I like a heavy bow.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:50.560
I can tell.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.720
He shoots 40 pounds with it, but it's it weighs 40 pounds as well.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.759
Hey, this is a 70-pound bow.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.199
Proud of you.
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.000
They start making 80 pound bows, and he goes, Nah, I could probably shoot 70 then.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.759
I'd go up a little bit.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.639
Hey, it gets the job done.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.839
That's funny.
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.519
Now what what day did you say you killed that buck on again?
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.319
I killed this deer on November 5th of last year.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.800
And I went in that following night and sat an evening hunt.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.000
I didn't really see much.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:32.399
I seen two bucks fighting each other off in the distance, maybe 130 yards away.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.680
I just watched them for a little bit and it started to get dark.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.439
And I never had this deer daylight at all.
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.000
And I had a couple trail camera foot pictures of him and videos, and he just never would daylight.
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:54.879
And that evening, I swear I seen him walking the edge of this field line about 200 yards away, but I didn't have binos.
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:01.839
And I let it wait till I got completely dark, got out, called my brother, and I said, Where where should I hunt?
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:08.800
And he kept telling me, go back there, go back there, and I I really wanted to go somewhere else and hunt a different deer.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:19.360
So I went back that following morning and I walk out and it's windy, it's 20 mile an hour winds coming northeast wind.
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.040
And I was like, There ain't no way I'm ever gonna see a deer.
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.800
Get back in there, get settled in.
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:39.680
15 minutes later, this deer daylights, and I see him come off the neighbor's property, jump the fence, and he's running straight at me, running full stra.
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.959
And uh I couldn't I couldn't even think about what to do at first.
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.279
Like it happened within a minute.
00:06:49.519 --> 00:07:01.199
All I did was grab my bow and drawed back, looked through the peep site, and this deer was looking at me broadside, straight through the peep site, and I just let it fly.
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:07.040
And I tell you what, that was the most adrenaline rush I've ever had in my life.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.279
But it was the greatest feeling in the world.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.759
Was that your first buck with a bow?
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.399
That was my first buck with a compound bow.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.600
Oh, he'll never pick up never pick up a gun again.
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.959
I have not picked up a gun since then.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.079
Oh, once you do it, man, it it nothing beats it.
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.879
I mean, it is like you said, the most just adrenaline dump you've ever had in your life.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:36.560
I the Lord was with me in that stand because when I let go, I thought the tree stand was gonna come down.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.920
I was shaking so bad.
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.199
That's what I was gonna say.
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.000
I I think they invented tree stand harnesses for that.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.560
Like I've never almost fallen out of a tree.
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.759
Well, I'm just sitting in it, but I ever I every time I've shot a buck, I've almost fallen out of the tree.
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:50.879
Same.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.160
I always get too worked up and I gotta calm myself down.
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:55.600
My favorite is.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.680
Oh, I had to call Wayne just to calm myself down.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:09.040
Dude, I'm telling you, like, when you it's so cool, like to see a guy like Eli, like he's hunted hard and like things just haven't come together.
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.879
But then like to watch a plan like all play out and come together, I have never seen somebody buddy so excited.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.000
Like, it was awesome to be a part of that experience.
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.000
And I think you're what was it, me, Guy, and your grandpa that was there with you, like we won't look for him.
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.759
And it was one of them things, like after I saw the impact, like I knew that deer was dead.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.320
Like, I mean, he smoked them.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.879
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.960
And I was about to say awesome train of thought.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.639
It's been a long day, boys.
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:43.600
For sure.
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.080
I worked today and you worked today and still made it out to the woods?
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.320
I actually didn't make it out to the woods.
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.279
I gotcha.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.480
I thought Wayne said you did.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:53.600
Baby appointment.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.360
Oh, I forgot.
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:56.159
Congrats.
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.279
Thank you.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:57.919
Yeah.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.759
Another one to take to the woods.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.799
Yeah, exactly.
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.039
Keep you out of the woods.
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:03.840
Yeah.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.759
Yeah, for sure.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.480
Oh, that that's awesome.
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.799
Have you uh had many sits yet this year?
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.320
Uh I haven't had many.
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.399
I think I've only went about three times.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:19.759
I've seen a lot of deer, but just not the right deer.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.039
Not the right ones.
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.519
That's kind of how how I've been.
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.720
It's been a slow I've seen a lot of nice young bucks.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.600
Had a really good encounter with that buck we posted on Instagram whenever two nights ago.
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.320
Oh yeah.
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.039
But just waiting, waiting on the right one.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.240
For sure.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:42.159
I mean, hell, I waited six years for that opportunity to even shoot a deer that caliber.
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.759
Well, that's what like we get a I I think it's something we I don't know if we've ever talked about it on here.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.639
We get a lot of guys on here that kill big deer and do it I I don't want to say consistently, but at a good pace.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:01.360
And I don't know if everyone's read the stat, only like 10% of bow hunters ever kill a pope and young whitetail.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:06.639
So like when you put that in a perspective, it's not like hey, it it took you that long.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.080
It's like, no, that's that's average what it takes people to do shit like that.
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.679
Like it's that hard.
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.639
Yeah, it's not a not an easy thing to do.
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:15.279
Yeah.
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:21.360
Well, and that's the thing, is like I I let's be honest.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:27.759
We all know he spotlights them and then he's not carrying that bow to the stand.
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.039
There's no freaking way.
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.759
The the DNR's gonna be at my house tonight.
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.879
Yeah, they are.
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:34.320
Oh gosh.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:35.440
They won't be able to find it.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.559
Not enough service on the computer.
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.480
Yeah, there ain't no service down there.
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:51.840
Well, I think uh, you know, when you go back at that, like people under underestimate, I think, like how difficult it is to kill a pope and young white tail.
00:10:51.919 --> 00:11:01.440
I mean, it it takes I mean, more than just sitting, you know, in a in a tree stand once or twice a year and going back to the same spot.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:08.799
I mean, I think uh a lot of work that people a lot of people don't, your average Joe don't realize, you know.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.080
I had a guy one time stop me at the gas station.
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.200
He's like, now I know, I know you gotta pay big, big money for all them farms you got.
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.240
And and I was like, No, I really don't.
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.559
Like, I don't pay a dime for anything.
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.519
Like, it just takes a lot of effort.
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.440
He's just saying that because that's what he tells his wife he didn't pay for any of it.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.679
But well Yeah, you have to mute that part off.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:12:02.240
No, and like it's not just time in the woods either, like it's studying trail cameras, it's shooting your bow in the offseason, it it's all that to combine make it like it's hard enough to get a bow or a buck in 20 yards to shoot, and then to make a good shot on them, and you know, it it's everything combined, and it's just a big math equation, you know, just about probability and everything, and it it everything stacks up against you.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.720
That's why you just have to work that much harder at it.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.840
Yes, yep, you have to on the head.
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.559
Yeah, it it's it's absolutely crazy.
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.440
But uh well, Lane, I guess we can dive.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.240
He he kind of talked about you know only sitting a couple times so far this year, and you're kinda in the same boat too.
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.519
Why don't you go ahead and kind of tell people so far are your sits?
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.840
Well, uh the first sit since you skipped out of the protect your deer episode.
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:28.559
Can't wait to see.
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:42.639
I know my uh I'm telling you, I had two sick kids and I felt so bad for logging out on that one, but the uh the wife needed me, and I was I figured I better better help help her out there.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.759
I'm just kidding.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.759
No one's listened to that episode past ten minutes anyway, so you're fine.
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:48.559
I don't know.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.240
I listened to it last night and Lane be talking smack about me taking a 22 to the tree store.
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.720
I was I was gonna ask you if you listened to it.
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.200
Lane, had you have you listened to the episode yet?
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.720
No, I have not.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:02.960
I told the story about it.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:10.080
Hey, if you ain't gonna kill anything, you might as well end up killing these thousands of squirrels that show up during hunting season.
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.799
Hey, I wasn't even gonna bring that up on a podcast.
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.080
Yeah, I brought it up.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.200
Uh I brought it up.
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.279
Jason was talking about it, Lane.
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.639
He said he's been thinking about doing it, bringing one of those air guns.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.320
I'm like, well, I gotta tell the story because the guy's gonna be on the podcast this week.
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.480
I just heard Lane just told me this last week, and I thought it was awesome.
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.279
We all think about it.
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.320
You like I'm just glad you're finally the one with the balls that did it.
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.120
Yeah.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:40.159
I've been to many sits and not see a single deer, and like, you know what?
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:41.759
A squirrel will do.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.840
It's crazy.
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.320
Like I I was driving myself nuts Sunday night.
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.879
Like it was so loud with squirrels, and they're chasing each other up trees, just oh my god, it was so loud.
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.480
And I was just thinking about that the whole time.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.440
I'm like, Eli's the smartest guy I've ever met.
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:12.720
Well, I think uh at sometimes some of us take this thing too um serious, and I'm like, I bet he has had more fun doing that than I mean a lot of occasions.
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:18.480
I mean, heck tonight, I I probably could have killed 20 squirrels and I saw one little buck.
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.440
Oh, we lose Lane.
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.159
Hello.
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.159
You know, he lives down in LA, so Yeah, Jesus.
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.840
He said he was going right to the shed, and we literally did we just tried recording a podcast there last week and it had no service.
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.879
So I don't know why he did that.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:40.240
Yeah, he's not the brightest, but we could dive like I was talking, I took I No, I haven't talked about this on the podcast yet.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.840
Like my most fun thing I've done this year is shooting a coyote.
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.399
Walking into the stand, I put a spot in stock on him.
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.120
Hello, and it's the coolest thing I think I've ever done.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.200
I shot him at 102 yards, too.
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.000
Oh my gosh, that is a poke.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.919
I've never been more pumped in my life.
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.879
Like, it's the cool like to this moment, it is the coolest thing I've ever done bow hunting.
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.919
I was pumped.
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.080
I guarantee you I can't even shoot past 60 yards with this seven.
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.039
Every I shoot about 110 every night.
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:09.519
Wow.
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:14.080
And now a deer, I would never shoot that far, obviously, but I'm like a coyote.
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.000
I I crawled into what I thought was 60, really misjudged it.
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.360
And I pull up the the rangefinder, I go, Oh shit, that's a lot further than I thought.
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.080
I'm like, eh.
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.919
He's in between me and the tree stand.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.240
Might as well, if anything, it'll scare him off.
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.240
And I freaking heart punched him.
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.360
It was awesome.
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.600
I bet that was a drone rush.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.879
Well, then uh we I guess we'll just get into that whole hunt.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.399
This was Monday night.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:42.000
So I I get in the stand, hanging hunting with the saddle.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.799
You guys hear me?
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.840
And sat in till about five o'clock, five thirty.
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.679
A couple does walk out, and they just come right to the base of my tree.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.919
I mean, like they had no business doing this.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.879
I was sitting in just a cut bean field.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.519
Well, this one doe starts blowing at me for like five minutes.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.159
So I finally said, you know what, screw it, we're we're gonna use a doe tag.
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.360
So I start filming her and she walks out to about 45.
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.440
And I've never shot a deer past.
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.600
I think 22 yards is the furthest at this point.
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.639
And so I get it all in film.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.320
I you know, line it up, pull back on her, and she's still blowing at me the whole time.
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.720
Lane's trying to get back in.
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.000
There he is.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.639
You back on your porch, Lane?
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.840
Holy, I don't know what happened there.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.879
Well I know what happened, you all service.
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.519
Yeah.
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:35.440
Alright.
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.960
Are you still going?
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.200
We we just got yeah, we're still going.
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:39.679
Don't worry.
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:41.440
Yeah, don't don't say anything wrong.
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.039
I I'm not that good of an editor.
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:49.759
We're getting into while you're gone, we're talking about having fun, and I told the story about shooting my coyote.
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.200
Oh sweet.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.039
Yeah, that is a heck of a shot.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.559
Yeah, it was I told her it's the coolest thing I've ever done bow hunting, and I've shot Pope and Young Whitetails.
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.240
I still think that's so cool.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.200
But then I was just getting into telling the doe story.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.839
So she's blowing at me forever.
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.200
Finally draw back on her.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.480
She's at 45, and I mean she is teed up, ready to take off.
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.119
And I let one fly, and I mean I've never seen a deer move like she did.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:22.640
She she moved way uh it went from we did, you know, put the dot on her and watch her move and see how far that dot moves back.
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.880
And she moved two feet before the arrow got there.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.599
It was crazy.
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.480
Holy moly.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:31.200
And then I still I hit her back, but I mean she bled like no other.
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.119
I told Lane on the phone when I was walking out, I assumed it was a liver shot.
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.039
But I mean, it there was no blood trailing.
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.319
You were just following a line.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.359
Like you didn't have to look.
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.359
My dad's colorblind, he could still follow it.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.200
It was I mean, just a massacre.
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.759
She went so I shot her at 45 yards, furthest I've ever shot a white tail.
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.039
And I told Lane it was like, after shooting that coyote, my confidence is high.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.039
There's no deer that was too far away to shoot at that night.
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:04.319
So but that was the first one I've ever got on film, like the whole shot and everything.
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:09.599
Like two years ago, I got most of the the hunt on film, but that didn't get the kill shot.
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.480
So that was that's cool to finally get break the ice with that.
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.279
Like I said, she went 45 yards and piled up.
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:20.079
So we got some meat in the freezer and we've got to knock the rest off a little bit.
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.359
There you go.
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:27.279
Yeah, that was uh I can't believe still that you made that shot on that coyote.
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.480
That is like insane to me.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:35.839
It was the coolest thing, and the only thing I'm pissed about, and no one's gonna believe that on the podcast is because I didn't get it on film because I was walking in and only had the tree stand on.
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:38.880
I'm like, man, I I need more friends to come hunt with me.
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:43.440
Just move closer.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.400
Yeah.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.559
Well, I've been telling you, I'll move it into your shed, but you won't find me a deer hunt property.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:55.279
Yeah, it's uh I'm trying Eli, I'm trying to pay to pay him to use one of his permission pieces, and he won't do it.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.480
Wow.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.920
I'm now that I put that on the podcast, maybe Avery will make him.
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.039
There you go.
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.000
Hey, you come down and help him.
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.880
Lane's got half the county marked on his arm.
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.400
I know.
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.400
Hell, he's got farms in Ohio too.
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.519
He's not telling people about.
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.559
Oh, I know.
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.240
I wish I had farms in Ohio.
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.480
He's got a tracker on a couple uh people's cars.
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:17.759
He knows where they park.
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.559
Oh shoot.
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.799
That's how you find a big one, boys.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:34.240
Uh we've talked about that before, uh, joking aside, like you to have big ones to hunt every year, you gotta have places like not every farm's gonna have a giant every year.
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.319
Well, yeah, I mean, that's a I preach it and preach it.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.079
I got farms literally scattered out across the county.
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.640
Yeah.
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:52.400
And you know, I'm running probably I'd say there's probably six farms, you know, I have scattered around that I can hunt.
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.839
And I don't hunt everyone every year, but I run cameras and try to see, hey, where's where's the big one going to be at next year?
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.480
Yeah.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.359
And what I think's funny, I just told my dad this story tonight.
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:11.440
We'll we won't get into too much depth of it, but the buck you're hunting this year, you didn't know was around until after you shot your buck last year.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:12.480
Correct, yep.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.079
Actually, wasn't it the day I shot mine?
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.400
Yes, it was the day you shot yours.
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.759
I we were dragging mine out, and Lane's face said it all whenever I looked at him.
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.240
I said, Did you get another big deer on camera?
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.599
And then he showed me.
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.519
I I hope we can tell that story one day.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:38.079
But uh, it's like I said, like you especially that's what's cool about still running SD card cameras, too.
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.319
You don't know, like I showed Lane last night.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:46.160
There's a buck I'm hunting this year, and man, he is all over the farm this year.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.839
And I I put up this SD camera, and it is literally 10 yards off a blacktop road.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.680
That is crazy.
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.039
And this buck was on it the day after I put it.
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.279
It's like Jesus.
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:01.599
Wow, living on the edge there.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:02.720
You just never know.
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:10.400
Like I I picked up this property the other day that's on a it's not very much acres, and it's on the side of a four-lane highway.
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.920
Like you the cars are screaming going by you, but there's deer living in there, they're signing all over.
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:23.279
I haven't got any pictures of any big bucks yet, but I just having little pieces spread out, you you never know what's gonna show up.
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:23.920
Yeah.
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:36.319
And I'll I'll admit, I think this big buck, he's gonna give me a run for my money because I'm used to sitting and seeing a lot of deer, and I'm I'm learning on this farm is that's not the case.
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:36.880
Yeah.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.400
Like, you know, you're either in the deer or you're not.
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:47.279
Like you ain't I don't have a bean field to hunt, I don't have food, like it's a different ball game.
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:56.240
And it's that that farm sets up a lot more like what I hunt and if people heard me talk in the past, it's uh you know, a lot more ridges and hardwoods and things like that.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:04.160
Yeah, it's big timber and acorns and And uh figuring and there's food, don't get me wrong, there's food that's not on my farm.
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.839
On the neighbors, there's food.
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:11.839
So it's it's definitely figuring things out is gonna be hard.
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:22.319
And uh what I'm really it's kind of weird, and I was kind of having a discussion last night with Nate on this, is like he's always you know, go in and move your cameras.
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:29.519
Well, like I'll move my cameras, and I mean not even like very far, like 40 yards, and boom, he's on them.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.039
Yeah, I won't get him again.
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.839
I'll move my camera 30 yards, boom, he's on them.
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:41.279
I really think he's like figuring out like my cameras, like and I I've I've never he's never on those cameras either.
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.200
Like he's in the distance, you know what I mean?
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.720
Yeah, oh yeah, 100%.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:52.720
And he's not a big fan of cameras, and I've done everything, hang him up, like he's smart, and I think it's have you put any up high?
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:54.799 --> 00:23:06.720
And I I just really think like he's so observant, like that's probably why he's still alive, you know, he's as big as he is, and I think I'm done with the cameras.
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:18.000
Like, I'm gonna go hunt sign because I'm worried like time's gonna run out really quick on trying to get him while he's still on me.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.519
You know, hopefully he stays on me, but you can move to one of your other 10 deer you have to hunt this year.
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.240
I was gonna say that ain't just the only one.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.039
That ain't just the only one.
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:35.759
Well I I think you guys cut a fence on a Hyvins farm in Fayette County this year because there's gonna be a lot of giants that hit the ground.
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:37.599
It's it's freaking nuts.
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:42.160
Yeah, it's uh this year's been a really good year for Fayette County.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.119
Like just what I've seen so far, deer-wise.
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.599
Who knows?
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.720
I think all that all that flooding must have washed them in there.
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:49.599
Yeah.
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:52.640
Yeah.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.519
That's funny.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:04.559
Which like my first two sets, because I kind of touched on, but I didn't, but the first one, I was hunting a scrape line and it was a complete bust, didn't see anything.
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:20.240
And then tonight, you'll know last night, I guess I've said three times, I was kind of hunting the edges, and I I had a feeling like he was gonna come down that trail, and I was hoping he would do it in the daylight.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.079
Well, of course, it was he showed up two hours after dark.
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:26.400
So which I got out of there smooth.
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:39.039
And then then tonight I kind of went to the back of the farm, which I haven't got him back there so far yet, but my wind wasn't right, and I feel like now it's still you gotta pay attention to your wind right now, still.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:45.599
It's not like they're just in dumb mode, they're definitely still using their head and thinking.
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:52.480
And I say we still got another four or five days until like things really start heating up and you can get away with some stuff.
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:59.599
Uh but I mean so far as I'm seeing, I'm seeing a lot of two two-year-olds that are ready to go.
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.200
But yeah, I haven't seen mature ones yet.
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:03.839
Yeah.
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:12.480
Like I've seen a couple four-year-olds, you know, that you're maybe an ex-year deer for us, but uh before they're taking another step, they got their nose in the air smelling.
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.359
They'll take a step and then the nose back up in there.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.039
Like they're they are still trying to survive.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:28.480
They're not they d I I always think a deer have two a light switch of trying to survive mode and hey, let's go find find some some dose, you know what I mean?
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.960
Like what and and there's they're still like, hey, there's shit out here that could kill me.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.559
Let's let's pay attention.
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:43.519
Well, and then I you know, I say that, and then I was driving home two nights ago, and I seen a hammer standing in a bean field.
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.319
Like twenty yards off the uh road eating.
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:51.519
Not in a very high traveled area, but I'm like, golly, like that thing's right there.
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.559
Like I mean, and he was a stud.
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.759
Yeah.
00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.519
That's cool.
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:02.319
I uh I feel like, you know, I'm gonna I haven't made a morning sit yet.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:07.440
I I'll probably do one this first upcoming week, and it'll probably be my first morning set.
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.119
Yeah, I haven't either.
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:23.519
Well uh we talked about it on the podcast, mainly because I'm not a morning person, or I probably would have made a couple, but uh it it takes for it has to be you know a hundred percent go time for me to have the motivation to get out of bed in the morning at five o'clock.
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:32.960
So I I think next week uh I was telling Lane and the boys on Protect Her Deer we got a cold front looks like it's coming in Wednesday probably.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.880
So uh because it's gonna be warm again.
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.759
I think it's in the 70s this weekend again, isn't it?
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:38.160
Yeah.
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:40.000
It's gonna be 70s.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.839
But I realized tonight, like it's cool fast.
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.119
The temperature dropped real quick from like 6 30 to dark.
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:51.119
Like it was a giant drop.
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.960
As soon as the sun gets behind the trees, it it cools off quick.
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.759
Yes.
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.519
But still, like that's when I think they're just getting on their feet.
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:05.119
So if you're not, you know, close between them and the food in the bedroom right now, you're not gonna kill 'em, I don't think.
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:10.000
But next week, like I think a high of fifty on Wednesday here, maybe Thursday.
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.960
I I don't know the exact date, but middle of the week next week looks looks great.
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.319
And that's kind of I think that that's right there around October.
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.240
I think Sunday's October 25th, which is always I use as a kickoff date.
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.839
That's what always Bill Winky talked about.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.279
He never used to hunt till then.
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:30.000
So that to me is always hey, we're we're getting into go time.
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:30.640
Yeah.
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.319
And get your shit done at work so you can go hunting a little more, you know what I mean?
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:55.920
Which I think I think I'm gone this weekend on a on a trip to Alabama, but you know, when I get back, work Monday, Tuesday, and maybe try to sneak in the woods on Wednesday, depend and we got some rain coming with it, so we'll watch that, but should be good for still sitting over scrapes not too early, or not too late to be doing that, I wouldn't think.
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:01.359
No, and that's what my scrapes are still pretty pretty relevant.
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.279
I mean, I'm still eating a lot of deer on 'em.
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.559
Yeah, last night was one of my better nights of deer on scrapes, so I'm not sure.
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.240
Which is crazy because how dry it's still been and they're still hitting 'em.
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.599
Yeah, exactly.
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.160
Yeah.
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.720
I I told you that deer that was ten yards up.
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.039
Like I said, hopefully Sunday be my first morning set.
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.680
And then it it's pretty much game on.
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:28.480
Like I want to try to do everything I can and find double something.
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.519
Are you there?
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.519
Yeah, you keep cutting out, Lane.
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:33.920
Damn, it's cell cell phone service.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.480
I know.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.599
I I'm gonna have to put it on.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.480
We're gonna have to buy him a booster or something for down there.
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.720
We're gonna have to put it before the fiber optic line and plug it right into his phone.
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.839
Are you there?
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.759
Yeah, we can hear you now.
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.680
I don't know why it keeps cutting out.
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.119
Usually it's pretty good.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.640
Oh.
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:54.720
But like we were talking about that deer that was ten yards off the road.
00:28:54.799 --> 00:29:00.000
Uh, he's been on nine different scrapes that I just have cameras on this this week alone.
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:01.440
Like, it's it's crazy.
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:03.119
And Lane goes, Oh, it'll make him killed.
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.039
Well, I go, Yeah, but those nine scrapes are spread over across two miles.
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:10.079
It's not very consistent.
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:11.279
Yeah, no.
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:14.640
And I mean it's hard to hunt a deer like that.
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.000
I mean you just can't you can't get a pattern down on them.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:24.799
Well then, like the other deer I have, I have them on one camera, and that's it at 1 30 in the morning about every other day.
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.279
And like, what are you pattern them on there?
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:29.519
Like, where where the hell else is he going?
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:30.720
Yeah.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:31.759
Yeah.
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:39.200
It it's fun just to you know, I get a lot of windshield time in my job driving, and that's all I was thinking about today.
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.519
Just trying to put plans together.
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:52.720
And I Trey said on the last podcast how we overestimate deer, but I think that's the fun part about it too, just trying to put a plan together and thinking, hey, this might work, or what what you could do, and it never does work.
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.480
I mean, there's a lot of luck that goes into it.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:59.759
You just need the deer to do his job sometimes, but I I always like coming up with a game plan.
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:01.039
Like that's for sure.
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.400
That's how I spend my daydreaming time, you know what I mean?
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:05.359
Yeah.
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:10.880
Which I I and that's another thing is it's like it's sometimes it's just deer hunting.
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:16.079
I mean, I think we uh we do get caught up in a lot of things and overthink so much.
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.160
It is just deer hunting.
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.039
Yeah.
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:27.519
100% yeah, and sometimes I mean I'll go in and think I won't see nothing, but hey, you just pray about it, let the Lord do his thing.
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:31.039
Maybe a 180-inch deer will walk in front of you, maybe it won't.
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.200
You never have that chance if you don't go.
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.880
Or if you don't live in Fayette County in Indiana, but yeah.
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.200
You got to quit blasting Fayette County, or we're not gonna be able to do it.
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.839
There are gonna be people moving into this county just for that reason.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.440
Screw you guys, you guys won't let me come freaking hunt.
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:50.720
I know, Lane should should at least let you.
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.839
Yeah, Jesus.
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:52.480
I'm a kid.
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.680
Oh, that's funny.
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.920
Now that's do we have what other topics did we have to cover?
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:05.839
I don't have a notebook with me like I normally do.
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:07.279
I'm sitting here at the South Arm.
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:10.400
What else did we have to cover, Lane?
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.880
We're doing great doing podcast ghosts on this one.
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:27.759
Well, uh we're kind of like we're just kind of winging this one, but I mean, I think we've we've talked about you know, scrapes, we've talked about about you know what's I guess what is your future plans like service.
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:28.720
Jesus.
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:30.079
Are you still out?
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.240
Can you hear me?
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.319
Yeah, we hear you now, Jesus.
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.119
Yeah.
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.559
Lang you just had to come over next time.
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.839
Yeah.
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:50.640
But um we I said we've talked about you know, scrapes and and moon phase, and I mean I think we have the biggest thing recently.
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.200
I was generally saying we have not talked about moon phase yet.
00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:04.079
Well, we probably are so good at podcasting, but I think last week is when we talked about moon phase with uh Kelton, right?
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:06.720
Yeah, uh not not so much moon phase.
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.480
We talk about the the red moon and yeah.
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:17.599
But anyways, yeah and I was kind of looking like e you know, because I I do you guys have deer cast?
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.720
Yep.
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:29.200
So I've been watching a lot like Deercast this week, and like it said, you know, good yesterday and like tonight, and it was warm here tonight.
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:40.000
So I don't, you know, tomorrow says good, and I don't know if that's like just because of the moon, and then it looks like it slows back down.
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.839
But I think the the pressure's dropping this week, isn't it?
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.359
Yeah, which it keeps switch you know changing back and forth.
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:52.880
I mean, if you get a high pressure morning right now, I think you need to be in a tree for sure.
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.160
I agree.
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:55.759
Yeah, like it's just okay here.
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:57.200
Oh, we actually had a north wind today.
00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:58.160
I didn't realize that.
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.920
Well, that's what I'm having a lot of north winds here.
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:06.480
Can you guys hear those sounds going off this Simon?
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.559
Oh the sows are freaking screaming or something.
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.759
Probably a Yody.
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.880
Yeah, probably.
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.599
I'm standing here checking cameras right now.
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:18.640
I gotta free you do some buck on camera.
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:20.880
You can hear with your giggle in your voice.
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:22.319
Hey, he about said giant.
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.440
Yeah, he about did.
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.480
Or knock on wood or guy's gonna kill him.
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.680
Hey, I will say, guy will end up killing whatever deer.
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:33.599
That dude always gets too lucky.
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:34.640
He's just too nice.
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.039
He's too nice of a guy to shoot a little deer.
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:40.240
You should see his other deer.
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.480
We we heard about his we talked about that mount in his first one.
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:45.599
Yeah.
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:48.160
Yeah, he likes big six pointers.
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.960
Yeah.
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.119
But I got a big I got a big six pointer this year.
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:54.720
I don't think I've told you that Lane.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:57.200
First time I've heard of it.
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:58.480
Yeah, I got a six-pointer.
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.240
It's like 120 inches.
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:02.480
That's crazy.
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.759
He uh like from going away, like when you can't tell what he is, you're like, holy shit.
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.159
And he turns, you're like, what the hell?
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:13.199
Yeah, he's a good deer.
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:15.119
Yeah, I've always wanted to kill.
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.599
Did you see there's a giant six killed?
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.760
I saw a picture on Facebook.
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:21.199
I mean a giant.
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.320
I think Lee Ellis has killed a giant, but he's killed a giant of everything.
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.159
So yeah.
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:36.800
But yeah, it's uh I think like right now I'm looking at Deer Cast and it says good tomorrow and good on Friday, and it looks like it slows up a little bit.
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.840
And then just says all okay for the rest of the week.
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:42.719
It's crazy how the weather can be different.
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:46.719
Like and you're what are you two hours about north of me, two and a half hours?
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:48.400
I don't know if we ever told this story.
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.920
The first time I met Lane, he told me we lived 45 minutes apart.
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:56.800
And I started driving to his house, and it was two hours and forty minutes.
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.400
I just picked up the two-hour part.
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:03.360
You can hear those.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.960
Dude, I can hear that.
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.880
I don't know what they're they are going at it.
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:10.800
I'm not even close to the bar.
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.519
I'm 150 yards away from the bar right now.
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:15.760
They're worked up over something.
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.320
My neighbors are gonna be pissed.
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.159
Yeah, they are worked up.
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.400
Luckily, uh um oh, we don't have many neighbors around ours, so they can't hardly hear 'em.
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:29.360
Yeah.
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:33.760
When uh when are you gonna get the chance to hunt next, Mason?
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:42.480
Next week, when I get home, like I said, I think I'm gonna hunt Monday, or I'm gonna work Monday, Tuesday, get caught up, and then try to sneak out Wednesday afternoon.
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:49.519
I I think it's gonna, you know, the weather changes so much in a week, but it looks like Wednesday morning we're getting rain and gonna stop Wednesday afternoon.
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:49.840
Yeah.
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.280
So I think that's when I'm gonna sneak out and we'll see.
00:35:53.679 --> 00:36:01.039
I I think I've told you, but there's still two deer I'm waiting on, and this is kind of the time that showed up last year and daylighted for the first time.
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:08.320
So we're gonna try to be in the woods and you know, without intel of this year, but try to, you know, end the story before it begins, really.
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:09.039
You know what I mean?
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.800
Well, yeah, and that's a thing.
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:23.519
A lot of people are gonna get new deer show up on camera now, like from now till the till the mid of November, like these things, it were just you know, right at that time where you never know what they're gonna do or where they're gonna be.
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:28.800
And all the drops of handy bucks start showing up.
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:39.199
Yeah, and all the crops are coming out still, and once they're all gone, nothing will settle until then, and then we'll be in the rut, and then you know all is cut loose.
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:41.840
So yeah, the crazy's about to happen.
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:42.800
Yeah.
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.119
Well, boys, I I think that's a good place to spot stop.
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.519
I appreciate Eli for coming on for this week.
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:50.719
Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.199
You too.
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:58.000
I'm sure Lane gave you a a great, you know, deal of do this, so I appreciate you probably doing this and you know, quickly.
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:58.960
Yep.
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.719
Well, and we'll get you on when you shoot shoot another stud this year.
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:04.159
Yeah, hopefully you got one on the show.
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:05.119
Hopefully I can.
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.239
Yeah, we'll just go untie them from the tree and you'll shoot 'em.
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:09.199
Yeah.
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:15.199
Yeah.
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:17.360
Well, I appreciate it, boys.
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:18.079
You guys have a good one.
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.599
Yeah, you too.
00:00:00.880 --> 00:00:01.840
Well, welcome back.
00:00:01.919 --> 00:00:03.120
It's the Whitetail Realm.
00:00:03.200 --> 00:00:06.160
We got Lane and Mason here on what is today, Lane?
00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.080
October 20th or 21st?
00:00:08.320 --> 00:00:10.400
I believe it is the 21st.
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:20.640
October 21st, Wednesday night, recording this podcast and doing it after the two guests on here, or I guess the guest and Lane on here have just got out of the woods.
00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:22.320
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:00:22.399 --> 00:00:27.679
We'll uh we'll get to that here in a little bit, but yeah, I finally got to make it out a couple times.
00:00:27.920 --> 00:00:28.320
Yeah.
00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.280
Well, why don't you kind of introduce our guests we got here, Lane?
00:00:31.760 --> 00:00:41.840
Well, uh, we have Eli Kidd, a good buddy of mine, and he killed a really good deer last year, and I think we're gonna kinda go over that.
00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:49.359
So, Eli kind of tell you a little us a little about yourself and kind of what you do and kind of how you got involved in the hunting thing.
00:00:50.640 --> 00:00:54.240
Well, like I said, I'm Eli or Lane said, I'm Eli.
00:00:54.560 --> 00:00:56.880
I like to hunt fish.
00:00:57.520 --> 00:01:02.320
What really got me into hunting was uh my great grandpa.
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:11.519
He really sparked my interest in pursuing deer hunting and doing all these outdoor activities.
00:01:12.480 --> 00:01:15.120
But that's awesome.
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:16.560
That is awesome.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:29.760
I feel like I feel like it's awesome to see like I think my dad and you know, my grandpa growing up kind of got me involved, and I think the same thing like with Mason.
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:40.079
So I feel like everybody it always starts you know with a grandpa or a dad and and that is something that I think we all have in common.
00:01:40.560 --> 00:01:42.000
Oh yeah, for sure.
00:01:42.560 --> 00:01:43.040
For sure.
00:01:43.760 --> 00:01:51.359
It's always about, you know, taking out the next generation and teaching them, you know, or you know, at least lighting the fuel for the passion that we all have.
00:01:51.439 --> 00:01:57.280
And like you said, it's the same story but a different verse for everybody, but it's always cool to hear how everyone gets started.
00:01:57.920 --> 00:01:58.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:01:58.719 --> 00:02:01.840
And Eli, you killed a really good deer last year, right?
00:02:05.040 --> 00:02:07.439
Yeah, I killed a pretty good deer last year.
00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:13.840
He ended up scoring 153, and I didn't really know anything about this deer.
00:02:14.159 --> 00:02:26.800
I hunted a farm close to a guy you had on podcast, Guy, and I hunt around that area, and what telled me to not hunt in that area.
00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:32.159
Guy was hunting a deer that he killed last year, and I didn't want to end up killing that for him.
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:35.039
Because I know he'd be pretty upset.
00:02:35.280 --> 00:02:51.280
So I had another farm that I went and hunted, hung a couple cameras and didn't really get much at first, but on October 3rd I got a picture of this deer, and it really sparked my interest on trying to get him laid on the ground.
00:02:52.319 --> 00:02:56.560
He had pretty good mass on both sides of Zantlers.
00:02:56.719 --> 00:03:00.639
The palmation was the greatest part about the whole deer.
00:03:02.159 --> 00:03:08.240
Yeah, he he's a cool deer, and kind of like I like his beams kind of go out instead of like wrapping, you know what I mean?
00:03:08.479 --> 00:03:08.800
Yeah.
00:03:09.039 --> 00:03:10.879
Yeah, he he was a he's a cool deer.
00:03:11.360 --> 00:03:15.199
Yeah, I'll I'll never forget the the phone call that morning.
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:17.439
Eli was pumped up.
00:03:17.599 --> 00:03:19.680
Like, he was stoked.
00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:25.120
And it was actually like one of the the shortest blood trails I think I've ever been on.
00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:28.639
Like he absolutely like heartpunched this thing.
00:03:29.599 --> 00:03:32.080
What uh what what broadheads are you shooting, Eli?
00:03:32.639 --> 00:03:33.840
Swackers, man.
00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:35.360
That's the only way to go.
00:03:35.680 --> 00:03:36.400
Oh man.
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:37.919
You leave my morning.
00:03:42.960 --> 00:03:44.000
I always think it's cool.
00:03:44.080 --> 00:03:52.960
You know, there's a lot of broadhead companies out there, and we always ask people like Lane shoots Rages, I shoot Mega Meats, you shoot Schwackers, and like how loyal people are to it.
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:54.000
I always think it's cool.
00:03:54.159 --> 00:04:05.439
Like I've never even shot a Schwacker, won't ever do it because I love my Mega Meats, but it's just like we when no one gets outside of their bubble, they just like stick to what they like, and when you find something that works, why why fix it?
00:04:05.680 --> 00:04:07.759
Hey, it's just that's just like bows.
00:04:07.840 --> 00:04:16.240
Like Lane got a new bow, well, last year, and Guy got a new bow, and I'm still rocking a Matthews Z7.
00:04:16.959 --> 00:04:18.319
At least you're on the right team.
00:04:18.639 --> 00:04:22.720
So everybody has their own little bubble, so I'm still rocking the older bows.
00:04:22.879 --> 00:04:24.160
Well, I'm like you're on the team.
00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:30.399
We got Guy on the Matthews team, so we just gotta get Lane to get rid of his freaking boat anchor of a bow.
00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:35.040
What bow?
00:04:35.279 --> 00:04:36.639
Have you shot Lane's bow?
00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:38.480
I have not shot Lane's bow, no.
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:43.360
Well, you you you'll be able to throw your bow bow about a hundred yards if you ever pick up his.
00:04:43.439 --> 00:04:46.399
It's the heaviest freaking bow I've ever had in my life.
00:04:47.519 --> 00:04:49.199
Hey, I like a heavy bow.
00:04:49.680 --> 00:04:50.560
I can tell.
00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:54.720
He shoots 40 pounds with it, but it's it weighs 40 pounds as well.
00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.759
Hey, this is a 70-pound bow.
00:04:58.480 --> 00:04:59.199
Proud of you.
00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:04.000
They start making 80 pound bows, and he goes, Nah, I could probably shoot 70 then.
00:05:04.160 --> 00:05:05.759
I'd go up a little bit.
00:05:06.639 --> 00:05:08.639
Hey, it gets the job done.
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:09.839
That's funny.
00:05:10.079 --> 00:05:13.519
Now what what day did you say you killed that buck on again?
00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:18.319
I killed this deer on November 5th of last year.
00:05:18.639 --> 00:05:24.800
And I went in that following night and sat an evening hunt.
00:05:24.959 --> 00:05:26.000
I didn't really see much.
00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:32.399
I seen two bucks fighting each other off in the distance, maybe 130 yards away.
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.680
I just watched them for a little bit and it started to get dark.
00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:39.439
And I never had this deer daylight at all.
00:05:39.680 --> 00:05:46.000
And I had a couple trail camera foot pictures of him and videos, and he just never would daylight.
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:54.879
And that evening, I swear I seen him walking the edge of this field line about 200 yards away, but I didn't have binos.
00:05:55.600 --> 00:06:01.839
And I let it wait till I got completely dark, got out, called my brother, and I said, Where where should I hunt?
00:06:02.079 --> 00:06:08.800
And he kept telling me, go back there, go back there, and I I really wanted to go somewhere else and hunt a different deer.
00:06:08.959 --> 00:06:19.360
So I went back that following morning and I walk out and it's windy, it's 20 mile an hour winds coming northeast wind.
00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:23.040
And I was like, There ain't no way I'm ever gonna see a deer.
00:06:23.600 --> 00:06:26.800
Get back in there, get settled in.
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:39.680
15 minutes later, this deer daylights, and I see him come off the neighbor's property, jump the fence, and he's running straight at me, running full stra.
00:06:41.439 --> 00:06:46.959
And uh I couldn't I couldn't even think about what to do at first.
00:06:47.279 --> 00:06:49.279
Like it happened within a minute.
00:06:49.519 --> 00:07:01.199
All I did was grab my bow and drawed back, looked through the peep site, and this deer was looking at me broadside, straight through the peep site, and I just let it fly.
00:07:01.439 --> 00:07:07.040
And I tell you what, that was the most adrenaline rush I've ever had in my life.
00:07:07.279 --> 00:07:09.279
But it was the greatest feeling in the world.
00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:11.759
Was that your first buck with a bow?
00:07:12.000 --> 00:07:14.399
That was my first buck with a compound bow.
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.600
Oh, he'll never pick up never pick up a gun again.
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.959
I have not picked up a gun since then.
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.079
Oh, once you do it, man, it it nothing beats it.
00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:28.879
I mean, it is like you said, the most just adrenaline dump you've ever had in your life.
00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:36.560
I the Lord was with me in that stand because when I let go, I thought the tree stand was gonna come down.
00:07:36.720 --> 00:07:37.920
I was shaking so bad.
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:39.199
That's what I was gonna say.
00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:42.000
I I think they invented tree stand harnesses for that.
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:44.560
Like I've never almost fallen out of a tree.
00:07:44.879 --> 00:07:49.759
Well, I'm just sitting in it, but I ever I every time I've shot a buck, I've almost fallen out of the tree.
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:50.879
Same.
00:07:51.040 --> 00:07:54.160
I always get too worked up and I gotta calm myself down.
00:07:54.720 --> 00:07:55.600
My favorite is.
00:07:56.160 --> 00:07:59.680
Oh, I had to call Wayne just to calm myself down.
00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:09.040
Dude, I'm telling you, like, when you it's so cool, like to see a guy like Eli, like he's hunted hard and like things just haven't come together.
00:08:09.279 --> 00:08:16.879
But then like to watch a plan like all play out and come together, I have never seen somebody buddy so excited.
00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:20.000
Like, it was awesome to be a part of that experience.
00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:26.000
And I think you're what was it, me, Guy, and your grandpa that was there with you, like we won't look for him.
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:31.759
And it was one of them things, like after I saw the impact, like I knew that deer was dead.
00:08:31.839 --> 00:08:34.320
Like, I mean, he smoked them.
00:08:34.559 --> 00:08:36.879
Yeah, that's awesome.
00:08:37.200 --> 00:08:40.960
And I was about to say awesome train of thought.
00:08:41.200 --> 00:08:42.639
It's been a long day, boys.
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:43.600
For sure.
00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:48.080
I worked today and you worked today and still made it out to the woods?
00:08:48.639 --> 00:08:50.320
I actually didn't make it out to the woods.
00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:51.279
I gotcha.
00:08:51.440 --> 00:08:52.480
I thought Wayne said you did.
00:08:52.799 --> 00:08:53.600
Baby appointment.
00:08:54.399 --> 00:08:55.360
Oh, I forgot.
00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:56.159
Congrats.
00:08:56.480 --> 00:08:57.279
Thank you.
00:08:57.679 --> 00:08:57.919
Yeah.
00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.759
Another one to take to the woods.
00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:00.799
Yeah, exactly.
00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:03.039
Keep you out of the woods.
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:03.840
Yeah.
00:09:04.080 --> 00:09:05.759
Yeah, for sure.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.480
Oh, that that's awesome.
00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:10.799
Have you uh had many sits yet this year?
00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:12.320
Uh I haven't had many.
00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:14.399
I think I've only went about three times.
00:09:14.639 --> 00:09:19.759
I've seen a lot of deer, but just not the right deer.
00:09:19.919 --> 00:09:21.039
Not the right ones.
00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:23.519
That's kind of how how I've been.
00:09:23.600 --> 00:09:26.720
It's been a slow I've seen a lot of nice young bucks.
00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:31.600
Had a really good encounter with that buck we posted on Instagram whenever two nights ago.
00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:32.320
Oh yeah.
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.039
But just waiting, waiting on the right one.
00:09:35.600 --> 00:09:36.240
For sure.
00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:42.159
I mean, hell, I waited six years for that opportunity to even shoot a deer that caliber.
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:47.759
Well, that's what like we get a I I think it's something we I don't know if we've ever talked about it on here.
00:09:48.000 --> 00:09:54.639
We get a lot of guys on here that kill big deer and do it I I don't want to say consistently, but at a good pace.
00:09:54.799 --> 00:10:01.360
And I don't know if everyone's read the stat, only like 10% of bow hunters ever kill a pope and young whitetail.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:06.639
So like when you put that in a perspective, it's not like hey, it it took you that long.
00:10:06.720 --> 00:10:10.080
It's like, no, that's that's average what it takes people to do shit like that.
00:10:10.240 --> 00:10:11.679
Like it's that hard.
00:10:11.919 --> 00:10:14.639
Yeah, it's not a not an easy thing to do.
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:15.279
Yeah.
00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:21.360
Well, and that's the thing, is like I I let's be honest.
00:10:21.440 --> 00:10:27.759
We all know he spotlights them and then he's not carrying that bow to the stand.
00:10:27.840 --> 00:10:29.039
There's no freaking way.
00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:31.759
The the DNR's gonna be at my house tonight.
00:10:32.000 --> 00:10:32.879
Yeah, they are.
00:10:33.679 --> 00:10:34.320
Oh gosh.
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:35.440
They won't be able to find it.
00:10:35.519 --> 00:10:36.559
Not enough service on the computer.
00:10:36.879 --> 00:10:38.480
Yeah, there ain't no service down there.
00:10:40.320 --> 00:10:51.840
Well, I think uh, you know, when you go back at that, like people under underestimate, I think, like how difficult it is to kill a pope and young white tail.
00:10:51.919 --> 00:11:01.440
I mean, it it takes I mean, more than just sitting, you know, in a in a tree stand once or twice a year and going back to the same spot.
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:08.799
I mean, I think uh a lot of work that people a lot of people don't, your average Joe don't realize, you know.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:12.080
I had a guy one time stop me at the gas station.
00:11:12.320 --> 00:11:17.200
He's like, now I know, I know you gotta pay big, big money for all them farms you got.
00:11:17.279 --> 00:11:20.240
And and I was like, No, I really don't.
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.559
Like, I don't pay a dime for anything.
00:11:22.720 --> 00:11:25.519
Like, it just takes a lot of effort.
00:11:26.320 --> 00:11:29.440
He's just saying that because that's what he tells his wife he didn't pay for any of it.
00:11:29.519 --> 00:11:33.679
But well Yeah, you have to mute that part off.
00:11:35.919 --> 00:12:02.240
No, and like it's not just time in the woods either, like it's studying trail cameras, it's shooting your bow in the offseason, it it's all that to combine make it like it's hard enough to get a bow or a buck in 20 yards to shoot, and then to make a good shot on them, and you know, it it's everything combined, and it's just a big math equation, you know, just about probability and everything, and it it everything stacks up against you.
00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.720
That's why you just have to work that much harder at it.
00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:07.840
Yes, yep, you have to on the head.
00:12:09.759 --> 00:12:12.559
Yeah, it it's it's absolutely crazy.
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:15.440
But uh well, Lane, I guess we can dive.
00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:20.240
He he kind of talked about you know only sitting a couple times so far this year, and you're kinda in the same boat too.
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:23.519
Why don't you go ahead and kind of tell people so far are your sits?
00:12:23.840 --> 00:12:27.840
Well, uh the first sit since you skipped out of the protect your deer episode.
00:12:28.000 --> 00:12:28.559
Can't wait to see.
00:12:28.720 --> 00:12:42.639
I know my uh I'm telling you, I had two sick kids and I felt so bad for logging out on that one, but the uh the wife needed me, and I was I figured I better better help help her out there.
00:12:42.960 --> 00:12:43.759
I'm just kidding.
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:47.759
No one's listened to that episode past ten minutes anyway, so you're fine.
00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:48.559
I don't know.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.240
I listened to it last night and Lane be talking smack about me taking a 22 to the tree store.
00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.720
I was I was gonna ask you if you listened to it.
00:12:56.879 --> 00:12:59.200
Lane, had you have you listened to the episode yet?
00:12:59.440 --> 00:13:00.720
No, I have not.
00:13:02.000 --> 00:13:02.960
I told the story about it.
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:10.080
Hey, if you ain't gonna kill anything, you might as well end up killing these thousands of squirrels that show up during hunting season.
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:12.799
Hey, I wasn't even gonna bring that up on a podcast.
00:13:13.039 --> 00:13:14.080
Yeah, I brought it up.
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:17.200
Uh I brought it up.
00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:19.279
Jason was talking about it, Lane.
00:13:19.440 --> 00:13:22.639
He said he's been thinking about doing it, bringing one of those air guns.
00:13:22.720 --> 00:13:26.320
I'm like, well, I gotta tell the story because the guy's gonna be on the podcast this week.
00:13:27.200 --> 00:13:30.480
I just heard Lane just told me this last week, and I thought it was awesome.
00:13:30.559 --> 00:13:31.279
We all think about it.
00:13:31.360 --> 00:13:34.320
You like I'm just glad you're finally the one with the balls that did it.
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:35.120
Yeah.
00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:40.159
I've been to many sits and not see a single deer, and like, you know what?
00:13:40.399 --> 00:13:41.759
A squirrel will do.
00:13:43.039 --> 00:13:43.840
It's crazy.
00:13:44.000 --> 00:13:48.320
Like I I was driving myself nuts Sunday night.
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:54.879
Like it was so loud with squirrels, and they're chasing each other up trees, just oh my god, it was so loud.
00:13:54.960 --> 00:13:56.480
And I was just thinking about that the whole time.
00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:59.440
I'm like, Eli's the smartest guy I've ever met.
00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:12.720
Well, I think uh at sometimes some of us take this thing too um serious, and I'm like, I bet he has had more fun doing that than I mean a lot of occasions.
00:14:12.879 --> 00:14:18.480
I mean, heck tonight, I I probably could have killed 20 squirrels and I saw one little buck.
00:14:20.240 --> 00:14:21.440
Oh, we lose Lane.
00:14:21.759 --> 00:14:22.159
Hello.
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:26.159
You know, he lives down in LA, so Yeah, Jesus.
00:14:26.320 --> 00:14:31.840
He said he was going right to the shed, and we literally did we just tried recording a podcast there last week and it had no service.
00:14:31.919 --> 00:14:32.879
So I don't know why he did that.
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:40.240
Yeah, he's not the brightest, but we could dive like I was talking, I took I No, I haven't talked about this on the podcast yet.
00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:43.840
Like my most fun thing I've done this year is shooting a coyote.
00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.399
Walking into the stand, I put a spot in stock on him.
00:14:46.559 --> 00:14:49.120
Hello, and it's the coolest thing I think I've ever done.
00:14:49.200 --> 00:14:51.200
I shot him at 102 yards, too.
00:14:51.440 --> 00:14:54.000
Oh my gosh, that is a poke.
00:14:54.399 --> 00:14:55.919
I've never been more pumped in my life.
00:14:56.000 --> 00:15:00.879
Like, it's the cool like to this moment, it is the coolest thing I've ever done bow hunting.
00:15:00.960 --> 00:15:01.919
I was pumped.
00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.080
I guarantee you I can't even shoot past 60 yards with this seven.
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:09.039
Every I shoot about 110 every night.
00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:09.519
Wow.
00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:14.080
And now a deer, I would never shoot that far, obviously, but I'm like a coyote.
00:15:14.240 --> 00:15:18.000
I I crawled into what I thought was 60, really misjudged it.
00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:23.360
And I pull up the the rangefinder, I go, Oh shit, that's a lot further than I thought.
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.080
I'm like, eh.
00:15:24.480 --> 00:15:25.919
He's in between me and the tree stand.
00:15:26.240 --> 00:15:28.240
Might as well, if anything, it'll scare him off.
00:15:28.320 --> 00:15:30.240
And I freaking heart punched him.
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:31.360
It was awesome.
00:15:31.679 --> 00:15:33.600
I bet that was a drone rush.
00:15:33.840 --> 00:15:36.879
Well, then uh we I guess we'll just get into that whole hunt.
00:15:36.960 --> 00:15:38.399
This was Monday night.
00:15:38.639 --> 00:15:42.000
So I I get in the stand, hanging hunting with the saddle.
00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:42.799
You guys hear me?
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:45.840
And sat in till about five o'clock, five thirty.
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:49.679
A couple does walk out, and they just come right to the base of my tree.
00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:51.919
I mean, like they had no business doing this.
00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:54.879
I was sitting in just a cut bean field.
00:15:55.200 --> 00:15:59.519
Well, this one doe starts blowing at me for like five minutes.
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.159
So I finally said, you know what, screw it, we're we're gonna use a doe tag.
00:16:04.559 --> 00:16:07.360
So I start filming her and she walks out to about 45.
00:16:07.679 --> 00:16:09.440
And I've never shot a deer past.
00:16:10.639 --> 00:16:13.600
I think 22 yards is the furthest at this point.
00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.639
And so I get it all in film.
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.320
I you know, line it up, pull back on her, and she's still blowing at me the whole time.
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:22.720
Lane's trying to get back in.
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:24.000
There he is.
00:16:25.200 --> 00:16:26.639
You back on your porch, Lane?
00:16:27.840 --> 00:16:29.840
Holy, I don't know what happened there.
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:32.879
Well I know what happened, you all service.
00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:33.519
Yeah.
00:16:34.960 --> 00:16:35.440
Alright.
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:36.960
Are you still going?
00:16:37.279 --> 00:16:39.200
We we just got yeah, we're still going.
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:39.679
Don't worry.
00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:41.440
Yeah, don't don't say anything wrong.
00:16:41.519 --> 00:16:43.039
I I'm not that good of an editor.
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:49.759
We're getting into while you're gone, we're talking about having fun, and I told the story about shooting my coyote.
00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:51.200
Oh sweet.
00:16:51.279 --> 00:16:53.039
Yeah, that is a heck of a shot.
00:16:53.279 --> 00:16:58.559
Yeah, it was I told her it's the coolest thing I've ever done bow hunting, and I've shot Pope and Young Whitetails.
00:16:58.799 --> 00:17:00.240
I still think that's so cool.
00:17:00.480 --> 00:17:03.200
But then I was just getting into telling the doe story.
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:05.839
So she's blowing at me forever.
00:17:06.000 --> 00:17:07.200
Finally draw back on her.
00:17:07.279 --> 00:17:10.480
She's at 45, and I mean she is teed up, ready to take off.
00:17:10.720 --> 00:17:15.119
And I let one fly, and I mean I've never seen a deer move like she did.
00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:22.640
She she moved way uh it went from we did, you know, put the dot on her and watch her move and see how far that dot moves back.
00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.880
And she moved two feet before the arrow got there.
00:17:24.960 --> 00:17:25.599
It was crazy.
00:17:25.759 --> 00:17:26.480
Holy moly.
00:17:27.039 --> 00:17:31.200
And then I still I hit her back, but I mean she bled like no other.
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:35.119
I told Lane on the phone when I was walking out, I assumed it was a liver shot.
00:17:36.000 --> 00:17:39.039
But I mean, it there was no blood trailing.
00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:40.319
You were just following a line.
00:17:40.400 --> 00:17:41.359
Like you didn't have to look.
00:17:41.440 --> 00:17:43.359
My dad's colorblind, he could still follow it.
00:17:43.839 --> 00:17:47.200
It was I mean, just a massacre.
00:17:47.440 --> 00:17:51.759
She went so I shot her at 45 yards, furthest I've ever shot a white tail.
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:55.039
And I told Lane it was like, after shooting that coyote, my confidence is high.
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.039
There's no deer that was too far away to shoot at that night.
00:17:59.200 --> 00:18:04.319
So but that was the first one I've ever got on film, like the whole shot and everything.
00:18:04.480 --> 00:18:09.599
Like two years ago, I got most of the the hunt on film, but that didn't get the kill shot.
00:18:09.680 --> 00:18:12.480
So that was that's cool to finally get break the ice with that.
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:15.279
Like I said, she went 45 yards and piled up.
00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:20.079
So we got some meat in the freezer and we've got to knock the rest off a little bit.
00:18:20.319 --> 00:18:21.359
There you go.
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:27.279
Yeah, that was uh I can't believe still that you made that shot on that coyote.
00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:28.480
That is like insane to me.
00:18:28.640 --> 00:18:35.839
It was the coolest thing, and the only thing I'm pissed about, and no one's gonna believe that on the podcast is because I didn't get it on film because I was walking in and only had the tree stand on.
00:18:36.079 --> 00:18:38.880
I'm like, man, I I need more friends to come hunt with me.
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:43.440
Just move closer.
00:18:43.759 --> 00:18:44.400
Yeah.
00:18:44.799 --> 00:18:48.559
Well, I've been telling you, I'll move it into your shed, but you won't find me a deer hunt property.
00:18:48.720 --> 00:18:55.279
Yeah, it's uh I'm trying Eli, I'm trying to pay to pay him to use one of his permission pieces, and he won't do it.
00:18:55.839 --> 00:18:56.480
Wow.
00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:59.920
I'm now that I put that on the podcast, maybe Avery will make him.
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:01.039
There you go.
00:19:02.720 --> 00:19:04.000
Hey, you come down and help him.
00:19:04.559 --> 00:19:06.880
Lane's got half the county marked on his arm.
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:08.400
I know.
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.400
Hell, he's got farms in Ohio too.
00:19:10.480 --> 00:19:11.519
He's not telling people about.
00:19:11.759 --> 00:19:12.559
Oh, I know.
00:19:12.799 --> 00:19:14.240
I wish I had farms in Ohio.
00:19:14.480 --> 00:19:16.480
He's got a tracker on a couple uh people's cars.
00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:17.759
He knows where they park.
00:19:19.359 --> 00:19:20.559
Oh shoot.
00:19:20.799 --> 00:19:22.799
That's how you find a big one, boys.
00:19:23.839 --> 00:19:34.240
Uh we've talked about that before, uh, joking aside, like you to have big ones to hunt every year, you gotta have places like not every farm's gonna have a giant every year.
00:19:34.640 --> 00:19:38.319
Well, yeah, I mean, that's a I preach it and preach it.
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:42.079
I got farms literally scattered out across the county.
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:42.640
Yeah.
00:19:42.960 --> 00:19:52.400
And you know, I'm running probably I'd say there's probably six farms, you know, I have scattered around that I can hunt.
00:19:52.480 --> 00:19:59.839
And I don't hunt everyone every year, but I run cameras and try to see, hey, where's where's the big one going to be at next year?
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.480
Yeah.
00:20:00.640 --> 00:20:03.359
And what I think's funny, I just told my dad this story tonight.
00:20:03.440 --> 00:20:11.440
We'll we won't get into too much depth of it, but the buck you're hunting this year, you didn't know was around until after you shot your buck last year.
00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:12.480
Correct, yep.
00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:16.079
Actually, wasn't it the day I shot mine?
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:18.400
Yes, it was the day you shot yours.
00:20:18.559 --> 00:20:23.759
I we were dragging mine out, and Lane's face said it all whenever I looked at him.
00:20:24.079 --> 00:20:26.240
I said, Did you get another big deer on camera?
00:20:26.319 --> 00:20:27.599
And then he showed me.
00:20:27.759 --> 00:20:28.799
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:20:29.440 --> 00:20:31.519
I I hope we can tell that story one day.
00:20:31.599 --> 00:20:38.079
But uh, it's like I said, like you especially that's what's cool about still running SD card cameras, too.
00:20:38.319 --> 00:20:40.319
You don't know, like I showed Lane last night.
00:20:40.480 --> 00:20:46.160
There's a buck I'm hunting this year, and man, he is all over the farm this year.
00:20:46.240 --> 00:20:51.839
And I I put up this SD camera, and it is literally 10 yards off a blacktop road.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.680
That is crazy.
00:20:54.160 --> 00:20:57.039
And this buck was on it the day after I put it.
00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.279
It's like Jesus.
00:20:59.920 --> 00:21:01.599
Wow, living on the edge there.
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:02.720
You just never know.
00:21:02.799 --> 00:21:10.400
Like I I picked up this property the other day that's on a it's not very much acres, and it's on the side of a four-lane highway.
00:21:10.559 --> 00:21:15.920
Like you the cars are screaming going by you, but there's deer living in there, they're signing all over.
00:21:16.000 --> 00:21:23.279
I haven't got any pictures of any big bucks yet, but I just having little pieces spread out, you you never know what's gonna show up.
00:21:23.519 --> 00:21:23.920
Yeah.
00:21:24.160 --> 00:21:36.319
And I'll I'll admit, I think this big buck, he's gonna give me a run for my money because I'm used to sitting and seeing a lot of deer, and I'm I'm learning on this farm is that's not the case.
00:21:36.480 --> 00:21:36.880
Yeah.
00:21:37.119 --> 00:21:40.400
Like, you know, you're either in the deer or you're not.
00:21:40.559 --> 00:21:47.279
Like you ain't I don't have a bean field to hunt, I don't have food, like it's a different ball game.
00:21:47.519 --> 00:21:56.240
And it's that that farm sets up a lot more like what I hunt and if people heard me talk in the past, it's uh you know, a lot more ridges and hardwoods and things like that.
00:21:56.480 --> 00:22:04.160
Yeah, it's big timber and acorns and And uh figuring and there's food, don't get me wrong, there's food that's not on my farm.
00:22:04.480 --> 00:22:05.839
On the neighbors, there's food.
00:22:06.720 --> 00:22:11.839
So it's it's definitely figuring things out is gonna be hard.
00:22:12.000 --> 00:22:22.319
And uh what I'm really it's kind of weird, and I was kind of having a discussion last night with Nate on this, is like he's always you know, go in and move your cameras.
00:22:22.559 --> 00:22:29.519
Well, like I'll move my cameras, and I mean not even like very far, like 40 yards, and boom, he's on them.
00:22:29.759 --> 00:22:31.039
Yeah, I won't get him again.
00:22:31.200 --> 00:22:33.839
I'll move my camera 30 yards, boom, he's on them.
00:22:34.079 --> 00:22:41.279
I really think he's like figuring out like my cameras, like and I I've I've never he's never on those cameras either.
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:43.200
Like he's in the distance, you know what I mean?
00:22:43.440 --> 00:22:44.720
Yeah, oh yeah, 100%.
00:22:45.119 --> 00:22:52.720
And he's not a big fan of cameras, and I've done everything, hang him up, like he's smart, and I think it's have you put any up high?
00:22:52.960 --> 00:22:53.680
Yeah, yeah.
00:22:54.799 --> 00:23:06.720
And I I just really think like he's so observant, like that's probably why he's still alive, you know, he's as big as he is, and I think I'm done with the cameras.
00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:18.000
Like, I'm gonna go hunt sign because I'm worried like time's gonna run out really quick on trying to get him while he's still on me.
00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:23.519
You know, hopefully he stays on me, but you can move to one of your other 10 deer you have to hunt this year.
00:23:24.160 --> 00:23:26.240
I was gonna say that ain't just the only one.
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:29.039
That ain't just the only one.
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:35.759
Well I I think you guys cut a fence on a Hyvins farm in Fayette County this year because there's gonna be a lot of giants that hit the ground.
00:23:35.839 --> 00:23:37.599
It's it's freaking nuts.
00:23:38.480 --> 00:23:42.160
Yeah, it's uh this year's been a really good year for Fayette County.
00:23:42.240 --> 00:23:45.119
Like just what I've seen so far, deer-wise.
00:23:45.279 --> 00:23:45.599
Who knows?
00:23:46.000 --> 00:23:48.720
I think all that all that flooding must have washed them in there.
00:23:48.960 --> 00:23:49.599
Yeah.
00:23:52.480 --> 00:23:52.640
Yeah.
00:23:52.880 --> 00:23:53.519
That's funny.
00:23:54.000 --> 00:24:04.559
Which like my first two sets, because I kind of touched on, but I didn't, but the first one, I was hunting a scrape line and it was a complete bust, didn't see anything.
00:24:04.799 --> 00:24:20.240
And then tonight, you'll know last night, I guess I've said three times, I was kind of hunting the edges, and I I had a feeling like he was gonna come down that trail, and I was hoping he would do it in the daylight.
00:24:20.400 --> 00:24:24.079
Well, of course, it was he showed up two hours after dark.
00:24:24.319 --> 00:24:26.400
So which I got out of there smooth.
00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:39.039
And then then tonight I kind of went to the back of the farm, which I haven't got him back there so far yet, but my wind wasn't right, and I feel like now it's still you gotta pay attention to your wind right now, still.
00:24:39.200 --> 00:24:45.599
It's not like they're just in dumb mode, they're definitely still using their head and thinking.
00:24:45.680 --> 00:24:52.480
And I say we still got another four or five days until like things really start heating up and you can get away with some stuff.
00:24:52.720 --> 00:24:59.599
Uh but I mean so far as I'm seeing, I'm seeing a lot of two two-year-olds that are ready to go.
00:24:59.839 --> 00:25:03.200
But yeah, I haven't seen mature ones yet.
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:03.839
Yeah.
00:25:04.079 --> 00:25:12.480
Like I've seen a couple four-year-olds, you know, that you're maybe an ex-year deer for us, but uh before they're taking another step, they got their nose in the air smelling.
00:25:12.720 --> 00:25:15.359
They'll take a step and then the nose back up in there.
00:25:15.599 --> 00:25:19.039
Like they're they are still trying to survive.
00:25:19.200 --> 00:25:28.480
They're not they d I I always think a deer have two a light switch of trying to survive mode and hey, let's go find find some some dose, you know what I mean?
00:25:28.640 --> 00:25:32.960
Like what and and there's they're still like, hey, there's shit out here that could kill me.
00:25:33.039 --> 00:25:34.559
Let's let's pay attention.
00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:43.519
Well, and then I you know, I say that, and then I was driving home two nights ago, and I seen a hammer standing in a bean field.
00:25:43.680 --> 00:25:46.319
Like twenty yards off the uh road eating.
00:25:46.480 --> 00:25:51.519
Not in a very high traveled area, but I'm like, golly, like that thing's right there.
00:25:51.599 --> 00:25:54.559
Like I mean, and he was a stud.
00:25:55.119 --> 00:25:55.759
Yeah.
00:25:56.799 --> 00:25:57.519
That's cool.
00:25:57.839 --> 00:26:02.319
I uh I feel like, you know, I'm gonna I haven't made a morning sit yet.
00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:07.440
I I'll probably do one this first upcoming week, and it'll probably be my first morning set.
00:26:07.680 --> 00:26:09.119
Yeah, I haven't either.
00:26:09.279 --> 00:26:23.519
Well uh we talked about it on the podcast, mainly because I'm not a morning person, or I probably would have made a couple, but uh it it takes for it has to be you know a hundred percent go time for me to have the motivation to get out of bed in the morning at five o'clock.
00:26:23.839 --> 00:26:32.960
So I I think next week uh I was telling Lane and the boys on Protect Her Deer we got a cold front looks like it's coming in Wednesday probably.
00:26:33.039 --> 00:26:34.880
So uh because it's gonna be warm again.
00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.759
I think it's in the 70s this weekend again, isn't it?
00:26:37.920 --> 00:26:38.160
Yeah.
00:26:38.319 --> 00:26:38.640
Yeah, yeah.
00:26:38.799 --> 00:26:40.000
It's gonna be 70s.
00:26:40.160 --> 00:26:43.839
But I realized tonight, like it's cool fast.
00:26:44.880 --> 00:26:49.119
The temperature dropped real quick from like 6 30 to dark.
00:26:49.680 --> 00:26:51.119
Like it was a giant drop.
00:26:51.519 --> 00:26:54.960
As soon as the sun gets behind the trees, it it cools off quick.
00:26:55.279 --> 00:26:55.759
Yes.
00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:59.519
But still, like that's when I think they're just getting on their feet.
00:26:59.599 --> 00:27:05.119
So if you're not, you know, close between them and the food in the bedroom right now, you're not gonna kill 'em, I don't think.
00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:10.000
But next week, like I think a high of fifty on Wednesday here, maybe Thursday.
00:27:10.079 --> 00:27:14.960
I I don't know the exact date, but middle of the week next week looks looks great.
00:27:15.359 --> 00:27:18.319
And that's kind of I think that that's right there around October.
00:27:18.400 --> 00:27:22.240
I think Sunday's October 25th, which is always I use as a kickoff date.
00:27:22.319 --> 00:27:23.839
That's what always Bill Winky talked about.
00:27:23.920 --> 00:27:25.279
He never used to hunt till then.
00:27:25.359 --> 00:27:30.000
So that to me is always hey, we're we're getting into go time.
00:27:30.400 --> 00:27:30.640
Yeah.
00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:34.319
And get your shit done at work so you can go hunting a little more, you know what I mean?
00:27:34.640 --> 00:27:35.839
Yeah, yeah.
00:27:36.960 --> 00:27:55.920
Which I think I think I'm gone this weekend on a on a trip to Alabama, but you know, when I get back, work Monday, Tuesday, and maybe try to sneak in the woods on Wednesday, depend and we got some rain coming with it, so we'll watch that, but should be good for still sitting over scrapes not too early, or not too late to be doing that, I wouldn't think.
00:27:56.319 --> 00:28:01.359
No, and that's what my scrapes are still pretty pretty relevant.
00:28:01.440 --> 00:28:03.279
I mean, I'm still eating a lot of deer on 'em.
00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:08.559
Yeah, last night was one of my better nights of deer on scrapes, so I'm not sure.
00:28:08.720 --> 00:28:12.240
Which is crazy because how dry it's still been and they're still hitting 'em.
00:28:12.559 --> 00:28:13.599
Yeah, exactly.
00:28:13.680 --> 00:28:14.160
Yeah.
00:28:14.480 --> 00:28:16.720
I I told you that deer that was ten yards up.
00:28:17.839 --> 00:28:21.039
Like I said, hopefully Sunday be my first morning set.
00:28:21.359 --> 00:28:23.680
And then it it's pretty much game on.
00:28:23.759 --> 00:28:28.480
Like I want to try to do everything I can and find double something.
00:28:28.880 --> 00:28:29.519
Are you there?
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:31.519
Yeah, you keep cutting out, Lane.
00:28:31.759 --> 00:28:33.920
Damn, it's cell cell phone service.
00:28:34.160 --> 00:28:34.480
I know.
00:28:34.559 --> 00:28:35.599
I I'm gonna have to put it on.
00:28:36.079 --> 00:28:38.480
We're gonna have to buy him a booster or something for down there.
00:28:38.720 --> 00:28:42.720
We're gonna have to put it before the fiber optic line and plug it right into his phone.
00:28:43.039 --> 00:28:43.839
Are you there?
00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:45.759
Yeah, we can hear you now.
00:28:46.079 --> 00:28:47.680
I don't know why it keeps cutting out.
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:49.119
Usually it's pretty good.
00:28:50.319 --> 00:28:50.640
Oh.
00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:54.720
But like we were talking about that deer that was ten yards off the road.
00:28:54.799 --> 00:29:00.000
Uh, he's been on nine different scrapes that I just have cameras on this this week alone.
00:29:00.079 --> 00:29:01.440
Like, it's it's crazy.
00:29:01.519 --> 00:29:03.119
And Lane goes, Oh, it'll make him killed.
00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:07.039
Well, I go, Yeah, but those nine scrapes are spread over across two miles.
00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:10.079
It's not very consistent.
00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:11.279
Yeah, no.
00:29:12.400 --> 00:29:14.640
And I mean it's hard to hunt a deer like that.
00:29:14.880 --> 00:29:18.000
I mean you just can't you can't get a pattern down on them.
00:29:18.400 --> 00:29:24.799
Well then, like the other deer I have, I have them on one camera, and that's it at 1 30 in the morning about every other day.
00:29:25.039 --> 00:29:27.279
And like, what are you pattern them on there?
00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:29.519
Like, where where the hell else is he going?
00:29:30.079 --> 00:29:30.720
Yeah.
00:29:31.359 --> 00:29:31.759
Yeah.
00:29:32.400 --> 00:29:39.200
It it's fun just to you know, I get a lot of windshield time in my job driving, and that's all I was thinking about today.
00:29:39.440 --> 00:29:41.519
Just trying to put plans together.
00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:52.720
And I Trey said on the last podcast how we overestimate deer, but I think that's the fun part about it too, just trying to put a plan together and thinking, hey, this might work, or what what you could do, and it never does work.
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:54.480
I mean, there's a lot of luck that goes into it.
00:29:54.559 --> 00:29:59.759
You just need the deer to do his job sometimes, but I I always like coming up with a game plan.
00:29:59.839 --> 00:30:01.039
Like that's for sure.
00:30:01.440 --> 00:30:04.400
That's how I spend my daydreaming time, you know what I mean?
00:30:04.720 --> 00:30:05.359
Yeah.
00:30:06.319 --> 00:30:10.880
Which I I and that's another thing is it's like it's sometimes it's just deer hunting.
00:30:11.119 --> 00:30:16.079
I mean, I think we uh we do get caught up in a lot of things and overthink so much.
00:30:16.640 --> 00:30:18.160
It is just deer hunting.
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.039
Yeah.
00:30:19.920 --> 00:30:27.519
100% yeah, and sometimes I mean I'll go in and think I won't see nothing, but hey, you just pray about it, let the Lord do his thing.
00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:31.039
Maybe a 180-inch deer will walk in front of you, maybe it won't.
00:30:31.200 --> 00:30:33.200
You never have that chance if you don't go.
00:30:33.440 --> 00:30:36.880
Or if you don't live in Fayette County in Indiana, but yeah.
00:30:38.640 --> 00:30:41.200
You got to quit blasting Fayette County, or we're not gonna be able to do it.
00:30:41.519 --> 00:30:43.839
There are gonna be people moving into this county just for that reason.
00:30:44.799 --> 00:30:47.440
Screw you guys, you guys won't let me come freaking hunt.
00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:50.720
I know, Lane should should at least let you.
00:30:50.960 --> 00:30:51.839
Yeah, Jesus.
00:30:51.920 --> 00:30:52.480
I'm a kid.
00:30:58.240 --> 00:30:59.680
Oh, that's funny.
00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:03.920
Now that's do we have what other topics did we have to cover?
00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:05.839
I don't have a notebook with me like I normally do.
00:31:05.920 --> 00:31:07.279
I'm sitting here at the South Arm.
00:31:08.640 --> 00:31:10.400
What else did we have to cover, Lane?
00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.880
We're doing great doing podcast ghosts on this one.
00:31:13.279 --> 00:31:27.759
Well, uh we're kind of like we're just kind of winging this one, but I mean, I think we've we've talked about you know, scrapes, we've talked about about you know what's I guess what is your future plans like service.
00:31:28.079 --> 00:31:28.720
Jesus.
00:31:29.200 --> 00:31:30.079
Are you still out?
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:32.240
Can you hear me?
00:31:32.559 --> 00:31:34.319
Yeah, we hear you now, Jesus.
00:31:34.640 --> 00:31:35.119
Yeah.
00:31:36.640 --> 00:31:38.559
Lang you just had to come over next time.
00:31:39.200 --> 00:31:39.839
Yeah.
00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:50.640
But um we I said we've talked about you know, scrapes and and moon phase, and I mean I think we have the biggest thing recently.
00:31:51.039 --> 00:31:55.200
I was generally saying we have not talked about moon phase yet.
00:31:55.599 --> 00:32:04.079
Well, we probably are so good at podcasting, but I think last week is when we talked about moon phase with uh Kelton, right?
00:32:04.319 --> 00:32:06.720
Yeah, uh not not so much moon phase.
00:32:06.960 --> 00:32:10.480
We talk about the the red moon and yeah.
00:32:10.960 --> 00:32:17.599
But anyways, yeah and I was kind of looking like e you know, because I I do you guys have deer cast?
00:32:18.079 --> 00:32:18.720
Yep.
00:32:19.039 --> 00:32:29.200
So I've been watching a lot like Deercast this week, and like it said, you know, good yesterday and like tonight, and it was warm here tonight.
00:32:29.920 --> 00:32:40.000
So I don't, you know, tomorrow says good, and I don't know if that's like just because of the moon, and then it looks like it slows back down.
00:32:40.480 --> 00:32:43.839
But I think the the pressure's dropping this week, isn't it?
00:32:44.079 --> 00:32:47.359
Yeah, which it keeps switch you know changing back and forth.
00:32:48.079 --> 00:32:52.880
I mean, if you get a high pressure morning right now, I think you need to be in a tree for sure.
00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:54.160
I agree.
00:32:54.319 --> 00:32:55.759
Yeah, like it's just okay here.
00:32:55.839 --> 00:32:57.200
Oh, we actually had a north wind today.
00:32:57.279 --> 00:32:58.160
I didn't realize that.
00:32:58.319 --> 00:33:01.920
Well, that's what I'm having a lot of north winds here.
00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:06.480
Can you guys hear those sounds going off this Simon?
00:33:06.880 --> 00:33:10.559
Oh the sows are freaking screaming or something.
00:33:10.960 --> 00:33:11.759
Probably a Yody.
00:33:12.079 --> 00:33:12.880
Yeah, probably.
00:33:13.279 --> 00:33:15.599
I'm standing here checking cameras right now.
00:33:15.759 --> 00:33:18.640
I gotta free you do some buck on camera.
00:33:19.119 --> 00:33:20.880
You can hear with your giggle in your voice.
00:33:21.039 --> 00:33:22.319
Hey, he about said giant.
00:33:22.480 --> 00:33:23.440
Yeah, he about did.
00:33:23.920 --> 00:33:26.480
Or knock on wood or guy's gonna kill him.
00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:31.680
Hey, I will say, guy will end up killing whatever deer.
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:33.599
That dude always gets too lucky.
00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:34.640
He's just too nice.
00:33:34.799 --> 00:33:37.039
He's too nice of a guy to shoot a little deer.
00:33:38.559 --> 00:33:40.240
You should see his other deer.
00:33:40.799 --> 00:33:44.480
We we heard about his we talked about that mount in his first one.
00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:45.599
Yeah.
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:48.160
Yeah, he likes big six pointers.
00:33:48.319 --> 00:33:48.960
Yeah.
00:33:50.400 --> 00:33:53.119
But I got a big I got a big six pointer this year.
00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:54.720
I don't think I've told you that Lane.
00:33:56.240 --> 00:33:57.200
First time I've heard of it.
00:33:57.359 --> 00:33:58.480
Yeah, I got a six-pointer.
00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:00.240
It's like 120 inches.
00:34:01.519 --> 00:34:02.480
That's crazy.
00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:07.759
He uh like from going away, like when you can't tell what he is, you're like, holy shit.
00:34:07.920 --> 00:34:10.159
And he turns, you're like, what the hell?
00:34:11.519 --> 00:34:13.199
Yeah, he's a good deer.
00:34:13.519 --> 00:34:15.119
Yeah, I've always wanted to kill.
00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:17.599
Did you see there's a giant six killed?
00:34:18.000 --> 00:34:19.760
I saw a picture on Facebook.
00:34:19.840 --> 00:34:21.199
I mean a giant.
00:34:21.440 --> 00:34:24.320
I think Lee Ellis has killed a giant, but he's killed a giant of everything.
00:34:24.480 --> 00:34:26.159
So yeah.
00:34:27.760 --> 00:34:36.800
But yeah, it's uh I think like right now I'm looking at Deer Cast and it says good tomorrow and good on Friday, and it looks like it slows up a little bit.
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:39.840
And then just says all okay for the rest of the week.
00:34:40.639 --> 00:34:42.719
It's crazy how the weather can be different.
00:34:42.880 --> 00:34:46.719
Like and you're what are you two hours about north of me, two and a half hours?
00:34:47.119 --> 00:34:48.400
I don't know if we ever told this story.
00:34:48.480 --> 00:34:51.920
The first time I met Lane, he told me we lived 45 minutes apart.
00:34:53.039 --> 00:34:56.800
And I started driving to his house, and it was two hours and forty minutes.
00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:02.400
I just picked up the two-hour part.
00:35:02.719 --> 00:35:03.360
You can hear those.
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.960
Dude, I can hear that.
00:35:05.280 --> 00:35:08.880
I don't know what they're they are going at it.
00:35:09.199 --> 00:35:10.800
I'm not even close to the bar.
00:35:10.880 --> 00:35:13.519
I'm 150 yards away from the bar right now.
00:35:14.159 --> 00:35:15.760
They're worked up over something.
00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:18.320
My neighbors are gonna be pissed.
00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:22.159
Yeah, they are worked up.
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:28.400
Luckily, uh um oh, we don't have many neighbors around ours, so they can't hardly hear 'em.
00:35:28.719 --> 00:35:29.360
Yeah.
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:33.760
When uh when are you gonna get the chance to hunt next, Mason?
00:35:34.239 --> 00:35:42.480
Next week, when I get home, like I said, I think I'm gonna hunt Monday, or I'm gonna work Monday, Tuesday, get caught up, and then try to sneak out Wednesday afternoon.
00:35:42.559 --> 00:35:49.519
I I think it's gonna, you know, the weather changes so much in a week, but it looks like Wednesday morning we're getting rain and gonna stop Wednesday afternoon.
00:35:49.599 --> 00:35:49.840
Yeah.
00:35:50.000 --> 00:35:53.280
So I think that's when I'm gonna sneak out and we'll see.
00:35:53.679 --> 00:36:01.039
I I think I've told you, but there's still two deer I'm waiting on, and this is kind of the time that showed up last year and daylighted for the first time.
00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:08.320
So we're gonna try to be in the woods and you know, without intel of this year, but try to, you know, end the story before it begins, really.
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:09.039
You know what I mean?
00:36:09.280 --> 00:36:10.800
Well, yeah, and that's a thing.
00:36:10.960 --> 00:36:23.519
A lot of people are gonna get new deer show up on camera now, like from now till the till the mid of November, like these things, it were just you know, right at that time where you never know what they're gonna do or where they're gonna be.
00:36:25.920 --> 00:36:28.800
And all the drops of handy bucks start showing up.
00:36:29.039 --> 00:36:39.199
Yeah, and all the crops are coming out still, and once they're all gone, nothing will settle until then, and then we'll be in the rut, and then you know all is cut loose.
00:36:39.280 --> 00:36:41.840
So yeah, the crazy's about to happen.
00:36:42.159 --> 00:36:42.800
Yeah.
00:36:44.079 --> 00:36:47.119
Well, boys, I I think that's a good place to spot stop.
00:36:47.199 --> 00:36:49.519
I appreciate Eli for coming on for this week.
00:36:49.760 --> 00:36:50.719
Yeah, I appreciate it.
00:36:50.800 --> 00:36:51.199
You too.
00:36:51.440 --> 00:36:58.000
I'm sure Lane gave you a a great, you know, deal of do this, so I appreciate you probably doing this and you know, quickly.
00:36:58.320 --> 00:36:58.960
Yep.
00:36:59.760 --> 00:37:02.719
Well, and we'll get you on when you shoot shoot another stud this year.
00:37:02.880 --> 00:37:04.159
Yeah, hopefully you got one on the show.
00:37:04.320 --> 00:37:05.119
Hopefully I can.
00:37:05.280 --> 00:37:08.239
Yeah, we'll just go untie them from the tree and you'll shoot 'em.
00:37:08.719 --> 00:37:09.199
Yeah.
00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:15.199
Yeah.
00:37:16.079 --> 00:37:17.360
Well, I appreciate it, boys.
00:37:17.440 --> 00:37:18.079
You guys have a good one.
00:37:18.480 --> 00:37:19.599
Yeah, you too.
