0:01:17.680,0:01:21.200

0:01:19.720,0:01:25.600
to be and then we'll get into some
0:01:21.200,0:01:27.840
coyote talk but uh how how long have you
0:01:25.600,0:01:29.759
did you know about that deer how long
0:01:27.840,0:01:31.840
did you know that sucker had been around
0:01:29.759,0:01:33.680
at have you had some history with him
0:01:31.840,0:01:35.159
over the past few years cuz you you're
0:01:33.680,0:01:36.880
usually tagging a buck every year and
0:01:35.159,0:01:39.960
you've killed some great bucks over the
0:01:36.880,0:01:42.640
last three four five years but how long
0:01:39.960,0:01:45.960
did you know that this Buck was in
0:01:42.640,0:01:47.680
existence so as far as knowing the buck
0:01:45.960,0:01:49.439
existed it's technically this would have
0:01:47.680,0:01:52.320
been the third year but I've only been
0:01:49.439,0:01:56.640
hunting the farm uh last season and this
0:01:52.320,0:01:58.880
season okay um and then last year he was
0:01:56.640,0:02:00.520
practically a ghost early season and so
0:01:58.880,0:02:02.200
I didn't even purum and I ended up
0:02:00.520,0:02:05.240
killing that real crazy buck that I
0:02:02.200,0:02:07.280
killed there behind the house yep yep
0:02:05.240,0:02:09.200
and well so the year went on and we
0:02:07.280,0:02:12.040
tried to get my wife on him a couple
0:02:09.200,0:02:13.840
times last year and uh just never came
0:02:12.040,0:02:15.319
together I mean he was a ghost man to
0:02:13.840,0:02:17.519
the point where like You' get him on a
0:02:15.319,0:02:20.120
cell cam at the other end of the field
0:02:17.519,0:02:22.640
you were set up on and somehow uh at
0:02:20.120,0:02:25.040
that time about 17 inch deer would sneak
0:02:22.640,0:02:27.040
past and had no clue man so he was kind
0:02:25.040,0:02:29.080
of a ghost and that's why it kind of
0:02:27.040,0:02:32.000
made this season so important I was I
0:02:29.080,0:02:34.560
kind of had a beef pick with him right
0:02:32.000,0:02:36.120
and so finally this year um the first
0:02:34.560,0:02:37.560
time he actually showed back up on
0:02:36.120,0:02:40.959
camera that you could tell it was him
0:02:37.560,0:02:42.680
this year was June 6th okay and okay
0:02:40.959,0:02:44.800
yeah I mean he was already he was always
0:02:42.680,0:02:46.519
an early developer man like last year
0:02:44.800,0:02:49.239
when I really started like yeah I need
0:02:46.519,0:02:51.000
to hunt that deer we were turkey hunting
0:02:49.239,0:02:52.920
and saw him the last day of turkey
0:02:51.000,0:02:55.280
season and he was already kind of that
0:02:52.920,0:02:57.280
growth out past the ears and I was like
0:02:55.280,0:02:59.080
man that's that's going to be a sh like
0:02:57.280,0:03:00.920
like you're talking about in April he
0:02:59.080,0:03:03.480
was out past
0:03:00.920,0:03:05.040

season I forget when it is but it was
0:03:06.480,0:03:11.319
the last day of turkey season so so like
0:03:08.720,0:03:12.840
first week first week of May then yeah
0:03:11.319,0:03:14.560
first week of May I think it was and he
0:03:12.840,0:03:17.440
was already bowled up real good and this
0:03:14.560,0:03:19.000
was last year um and so I was like yeah

0:04:42.320,0:04:46.720
like I say I I was honestly really
0:04:44.919,0:04:48.919
surprised it didn't come together in
0:04:46.720,0:04:51.520
September because August man I keep a
0:04:48.919,0:04:54.400
calendar it's got every day that he ever
0:04:51.520,0:04:57.560
cited I mean I've got to the time where
0:04:54.400,0:05:00.360
he was on the farm everything in August
0:04:57.560,0:05:02.199
the daytime pictures I mean was at least
0:05:00.360,0:05:04.800
twice a week he was daytime and
0:05:02.199,0:05:06.720
somewhere um but most of the time by the
0:05:04.800,0:05:08.759
time he got to like the stand I had hung
0:05:06.720,0:05:11.360
on a corn poile that time it was after
0:05:08.759,0:05:13.240
dark and so kind of threw a plan
0:05:11.360,0:05:15.320
together early season I was going to try
0:05:13.240,0:05:16.919
to kill him on a there's a road that
0:05:15.320,0:05:19.360
kind of went out through the crop fields
0:05:16.919,0:05:21.039
that he was really fond of using right
0:05:19.360,0:05:22.720
and I decided that I was going to hang a
0:05:21.039,0:05:24.840
stand on that road and try to catch him
0:05:22.720,0:05:28.120
in transition just so everybody knows
0:05:24.840,0:05:30.600
Farm Road Farm Road not Highway yeah
0:05:28.120,0:05:32.039
yeah yeah now just a little dirt two
0:05:30.600,0:05:35.160
track it went in between a corner and a
0:05:32.039,0:05:37.680
beanfield yeah and um open the night was
0:05:35.160,0:05:41.000
fortunate enough to see him I had him a
0:05:37.680,0:05:43.360
daylight at about 300 yards and then at
0:05:41.000,0:05:45.360
the end of that night um he actually
0:05:43.360,0:05:48.160
ended up coming down dang near to the
0:05:45.360,0:05:50.800
base of the tree right as right after
0:05:48.160,0:05:52.520
dark it was after legal shooting light
0:05:50.800,0:05:54.560
um which scared me I was afraid I was
0:05:52.520,0:05:56.919
going to bump him out of there and then
0:05:54.560,0:05:59.120
almost did the exact same thing the next
0:05:56.919,0:06:01.240
night and from there it was a cat and
0:05:59.120,0:06:03.840
mouse game like I've never played before
0:06:01.240,0:06:05.479
man he started uh following me out on
0:06:03.840,0:06:07.400
like different accesses I'd go in and
0:06:05.479,0:06:09.199
hun stand and use a different access and
0:06:07.400,0:06:11.400
I'd have cameras obviously all over this
0:06:09.199,0:06:13.120
farm and and then i' a couple hours
0:06:11.400,0:06:16.160
later you'd get him on that same access
0:06:13.120,0:06:18.400
I left oh man and so he he had got to
0:06:16.160,0:06:20.400
playing me as much as I was playing him
0:06:18.400,0:06:22.599
and when he started doing that I really
0:06:20.400,0:06:25.800
wasn't too too confident I was going to
0:06:22.599,0:06:29.039
get to put arrow in him right and so
0:06:25.800,0:06:31.759
then October rolls around man and I have
0:06:29.039,0:06:34.000
three pictures of the deer well three
0:06:31.759,0:06:35.720
nights of pictures the whole month of
0:06:34.000,0:06:39.120
October the rest of the month was a no
0:06:35.720,0:06:42.080
show um and the before he came back on
0:06:39.120,0:06:43.479
November 1st he had been gone 15 days
0:06:42.080,0:06:46.400
completely off the
0:06:43.479,0:06:48.440
farm and uh I was man I was getting
0:06:46.400,0:06:50.440
nervous you know that's after early mule
0:06:48.440,0:06:53.000
oder season and so I'm thinking well did
0:06:50.440,0:06:54.840
he get killed is he gonna come back have
0:06:53.000,0:06:59.000
I bumped him off the farm making too
0:06:54.840,0:07:01.800
many moves whatever um but I had went in
0:06:59.000,0:07:05.160
and done kind of a hanging hunt around
0:07:01.800,0:07:07.599
the uh around the 10th and put a stand
0:07:05.160,0:07:09.560
on a a newer route from last year that
0:07:07.599,0:07:11.520
he used a lot to get in and get out of
0:07:09.560,0:07:13.400
the farm and it's just a big gully that
0:07:11.520,0:07:15.960
runs up in between two standing
0:07:13.400,0:07:17.680
cornfields and I kind of decided that
0:07:15.960,0:07:19.520
with all these north and east based
0:07:17.680,0:07:21.080
winds we were having that that was going
0:07:19.520,0:07:22.440
to be my best beted and I would just
0:07:21.080,0:07:25.039
hunt it trying to catch him either
0:07:22.440,0:07:27.599
coming home or leaving the farm again
0:07:25.039,0:07:31.800
right and um finally the night of the
0:07:27.599,0:07:34.240
first man um I was down and out uh was
0:07:31.800,0:07:37.160
having a bad week and hadn't seen him
0:07:34.240,0:07:39.840
and uh thank God my wife could put up
0:07:37.160,0:07:41.639
with me well but um I was kind of just
0:07:39.840,0:07:43.400
distraught about the whole situation you
0:07:41.639,0:07:45.280
know with gun season coming up this
0:07:43.400,0:07:49.360
weekend I was getting really nervous
0:07:45.280,0:07:51.879
right and um so November 1st at like
0:07:49.360,0:07:54.199
9:50 that night man he showed up on a
0:07:51.879,0:07:55.960
scrape camera and I was like man he's
0:07:54.199,0:07:57.759
back and he was kind of in the core of
0:07:55.960,0:07:59.639
the farm and I was like how did he how
0:07:57.759,0:08:01.919
in the world did he Dodge the cameras
0:07:59.639,0:08:03.199
had set up on that holler hey you know
0:08:01.919,0:08:05.280
let's let's pause right there we're
0:08:03.199,0:08:07.039
going to pick right back up there again
0:08:05.280,0:08:08.960
here in just a minute I got a couple
0:08:07.039,0:08:11.280
questions leading up to that I want to
0:08:08.960,0:08:14.400
ask you you you mentioned that you had
0:08:11.280,0:08:16.960
him at at last Light once before how
0:08:14.400,0:08:19.800
many times did you actually see this
0:08:16.960,0:08:22.199
Buck on the hoof with your own eyes but
0:08:19.800,0:08:23.599
leading up to the day that you killed it
0:08:22.199,0:08:25.840
leading up to the day I killed him the
0:08:23.599,0:08:28.639
day I killed him would have been time
0:08:25.840,0:08:32.279
four or five I want to say it was four
0:08:28.639,0:08:35.479
though uh had him uh scouting beanfields
0:08:32.279,0:08:37.240
in August and then hunting wise um
0:08:35.479,0:08:39.200
opening night and then the second night
0:08:37.240,0:08:43.640
of the season I saw him both those times
0:08:39.200,0:08:45.920
with my own eyes and then um I saw what
0:08:43.640,0:08:47.800
I thought could have been him later in
0:08:45.920,0:08:49.680
September but it's it's one of those you
0:08:47.800,0:08:52.040
know I can't guarantee that that was a
0:08:49.680,0:08:53.560
sighting and then the day that I
0:08:52.040,0:08:55.880
actually saw him and this is going to
0:08:53.560,0:08:57.720
sound crazy was the first time that I
0:08:55.880,0:09:00.440
had ever seen the dear and person hard
0:08:57.720,0:09:02.240
horn right okay okay okay and and I'm
0:09:00.440,0:09:05.000
sure people are sent here wondering it's
0:09:02.240,0:09:08.079
listening to this um wondering what
0:09:05.000,0:09:11.079
state this is this is Kentucky it's we
0:09:08.079,0:09:12.800
uh this is a Kentucky Buck uh it's crop
0:09:11.079,0:09:13.640
country Kentucky Buck it's about all we
0:09:12.800,0:09:15.079
going to tell you we ain't going to send
0:09:13.640,0:09:17.640
you all the coordinates or nothing but
0:09:15.079,0:09:20.640
this is a Kentucky Kentucky white tail
0:09:17.640,0:09:23.200
so you've seen him that many times um
0:09:20.640,0:09:25.839
you know on the hoof with your own eyes
0:09:23.200,0:09:29.120
and you you've hunted him through
0:09:25.839,0:09:33.120
September through October and now you're
0:09:29.120,0:09:36.480
you're going into sit number 35 trying
0:09:33.120,0:09:38.320
to kill this Buck right yeah it was 35
0:09:36.480,0:09:40.519
when I finally got him killed and you
0:09:38.320,0:09:41.760
were and and you're this is this is the
0:09:40.519,0:09:43.399
buck you're killing you're either
0:09:41.760,0:09:45.440
killing that buck this year or you're
0:09:43.399,0:09:47.160
not not tagging anything I mean you're
0:09:45.440,0:09:49.000
hunting just this one single Buck which
0:09:47.160,0:09:51.399
of course if you got 190 inch deer
0:09:49.000,0:09:53.880
that's you know you're probably only
0:09:51.399,0:09:55.720
hunting that buck but I'm assuming
0:09:53.880,0:09:57.120
that's what your sites were set on there
0:09:55.720,0:09:59.440
wasn't nothing else that could have come
0:09:57.120,0:10:01.279
by that that would have that made you
0:09:59.440,0:10:03.959
waiver to put arrow on it you were after
0:10:01.279,0:10:06.320
his H you were after megamos what you
0:10:03.959,0:10:09.519
called it that was it yeah that was it I
0:10:06.320,0:10:13.320
mean I actually passed a 155 160 inch
0:10:09.519,0:10:17.240
deer on September 9th yeah um that would
0:10:13.320,0:10:19.440
I mean was a giant I had him yards just
0:10:17.240,0:10:21.200
uh made some hard passes there was
0:10:19.440,0:10:22.959
another really good deer I ended up
0:10:21.200,0:10:25.920
getting killed on the farm next door on
0:10:22.959,0:10:27.600
the 21st um that I was really nervous
0:10:25.920,0:10:30.079
that was kind of one of those man I hope
0:10:27.600,0:10:32.640
I don't cross pass with him because
0:10:30.079,0:10:35.519
he's he's big as well and uh I was
0:10:32.640,0:10:39.160
really worried about it but no I mean I
0:10:35.519,0:10:41.320
I really I sunk every everything I had
0:10:39.160,0:10:43.800
into this deer man I I put a lot of
0:10:41.320,0:10:46.480
stuff on the back burner just to try to
0:10:43.800,0:10:48.639
get this deer killed let's let's pick
0:10:46.480,0:10:51.399
right back back up with the hunt story
0:10:48.639,0:10:53.639
let's tell us what led right up to to
0:10:51.399,0:10:57.480
you getting on him for the final time
0:10:53.639,0:11:00.079
and tell us how it went down so um I got
0:10:57.480,0:11:01.680
that picture uh the Friday night that
0:11:00.079,0:11:05.360
first we actually had done trick-
0:11:01.680,0:11:07.480
or-treating that night uh had a rain out
0:11:05.360,0:11:10.000
you say you just messed
0:11:07.480,0:11:13.320
up well you just telling everybody where
0:11:10.000,0:11:17.519
you at yeah I hear you it'll be all
0:11:13.320,0:11:20.680
right hey we'll bleep it out there you
0:11:17.519,0:11:22.560
go but no man my they canceled our
0:11:20.680,0:11:24.480
trick-or-treating that night and so we
0:11:22.560,0:11:26.639
had to do it the next night for the kids
0:11:24.480,0:11:28.760
and I figured I'd missed about as much
0:11:26.639,0:11:30.200
family stuff as home as I needed to so I
0:11:28.760,0:11:33.440
probably should take my kids Tri
0:11:30.200,0:11:35.600
treating right and um we went and that
0:11:33.440,0:11:38.279
night like I say I got home and was kind
0:11:35.600,0:11:41.120
of in a awful mood to be honest with you
0:11:38.279,0:11:42.720
and um he ended up showing up at 9:54 I
0:11:41.120,0:11:45.120
think it was on a scrape camera that
0:11:42.720,0:11:47.240
night and he was kind of in the middle
0:11:45.120,0:11:49.560
of the farm which was surprising it was
0:11:47.240,0:11:52.040
like man how did he get past quite a few
0:11:49.560,0:11:53.720
cameras to get to that point but he was
0:11:52.040,0:11:55.760
good at it man I'll give it to him if he
0:11:53.720,0:11:58.160
found a camera he was good at avoiding
0:11:55.760,0:12:00.279
it um unless it was on a bait site early
0:11:58.160,0:12:04.120
season he did everything he could to
0:12:00.279,0:12:06.279
avoid it right but um but anyway um I
0:12:04.120,0:12:08.200
went in and hunted that next morning I
0:12:06.279,0:12:11.000
had only hunted one other morning all
0:12:08.200,0:12:13.240
season and so I'm not a big morning hunt
0:12:11.000,0:12:15.240
guy a lot of my Farms the way they lay
0:12:13.240,0:12:17.480
you do a lot more bumping of deer than
0:12:15.240,0:12:18.920
you do of helping yourself but I knew
0:12:17.480,0:12:20.880
that he was in the center of the farm
0:12:18.920,0:12:23.760
and I was honestly thinking he might try
0:12:20.880,0:12:27.199
to slip back out that morning and so got
0:12:23.760,0:12:29.760
in climbed the tree well before daylight
0:12:27.199,0:12:31.480
um got set up and I had to actually
0:12:29.760,0:12:32.880
leave that morning really early I was
0:12:31.480,0:12:34.839
only able to sit in the tree for about
0:12:32.880,0:12:38.760
two hours because my kids had a soccer
0:12:34.839,0:12:40.959
game and um so I left my bow binos and
0:12:38.760,0:12:42.680
everything hanging in the tree because
0:12:40.959,0:12:45.320
when it finally got daylight I pulled my
0:12:42.680,0:12:47.480
phone out to text my wife and I got a
0:12:45.320,0:12:50.959
picture notification and he was only on
0:12:47.480,0:12:53.440
a camera about 300 yards from me and so
0:12:50.959,0:12:55.519
I was nervous I was on pins and needles
0:12:53.440,0:12:57.680
I knew I only had about an hour left to
0:12:55.519,0:12:59.440
hunt I was scared that I was going to
0:12:57.680,0:13:02.800
miss him leaving you know what if he
0:12:59.440,0:13:05.000
came by later in the morning um but
0:13:02.800,0:13:07.440
still just kind of relying on faith left
0:13:05.000,0:13:09.519
my bow everything hanging in the tree I
0:13:07.440,0:13:11.480
went to soccer we went and had lunch and
0:13:09.519,0:13:12.199
then I basically headed straight back to
0:13:11.480,0:13:16.360
the
0:13:12.199,0:13:18.079
tree um got in the tree uh it wasn't
0:13:16.360,0:13:19.839
super early I mean I was running a
0:13:18.079,0:13:24.000
little bit behind we kind of had a later
0:13:19.839,0:13:27.199
lunch and uh it was probably around 330
0:13:24.000,0:13:29.160
350 when I finally got in the tree and
0:13:27.199,0:13:32.639
um this you know obviously was before
0:13:29.160,0:13:35.000
the daylight savings time switch and um
0:13:32.639,0:13:36.800
got set up and it was a super slow kind
0:13:35.000,0:13:38.199
of early part of the night you know
0:13:36.800,0:13:42.639
cameras were kind of dead I wasn't
0:13:38.199,0:13:44.399
seeing much and at about 550 6 o'clock
0:13:42.639,0:13:46.600
um I had a little six-pointer come down
0:13:44.399,0:13:49.480
the holler exactly from where Mega ended
0:13:46.600,0:13:51.880
up coming from yep but that deer he
0:13:49.480,0:13:53.519
walked right up the bottom of that Gully
0:13:51.880,0:13:56.639
that I was telling you about that he was
0:13:53.519,0:13:58.759
using to kind of avoid those cameras and
0:13:56.639,0:14:00.639
watched him walk from 100 yards up the
0:13:58.759,0:14:02.199
creek all the way up under me and around
0:14:00.639,0:14:04.320
me and I was like man if anything tries
0:14:02.199,0:14:06.680
to slip up that Creek he you know he's
0:14:04.320,0:14:10.000
done I I can do that I can see him in
0:14:06.680,0:14:12.240
plenty of time well I thought that was
0:14:10.000,0:14:15.720
the case at
0:14:12.240,0:14:17.759
6:15 um well a little bit before 6:15
0:14:15.720,0:14:20.040
was actually Timeless shot but couple
0:14:17.759,0:14:23.199
minutes before I hear footsteps coming
0:14:20.040,0:14:25.360
up that Gully and I kept kind of
0:14:23.199,0:14:26.959
Rubberneck and honestly there was a tree
0:14:25.360,0:14:29.440
kind of right next to me on that Creek
0:14:26.959,0:14:31.320
Bank to where I couldn't see about 70
0:14:29.440,0:14:33.839
yards to about 20 yards on that Creek
0:14:31.320,0:14:35.839
you can't see and so I'm looking out cuz
0:14:33.839,0:14:39.040
you can tell by the steps and how it's
0:14:35.839,0:14:41.880
moving it's a deer I just can't see it
0:14:39.040,0:14:45.199
and so finally um I go to lean back in
0:14:41.880,0:14:46.480
my stand and I hunt out of hang on and
0:14:45.199,0:14:49.320
so the back you know kind of got a
0:14:46.480,0:14:51.240
little give to it yep and I leaned back
0:14:49.320,0:14:53.959
and I saw the left beam that's got the
0:14:51.240,0:14:57.160
two kickers off the three and I said oh
0:14:53.959,0:14:59.959
my God it's him
0:14:57.160,0:15:02.320
and I can just imagine imagine the the
0:14:59.959,0:15:05.639
adrenaline dump it was already starting
0:15:02.320,0:15:07.959
to happen well man like when I saw him
0:15:05.639,0:15:10.079
we're talking 10 12 yards yeah I mean
0:15:07.959,0:15:11.759
he's already he's already on top of me
0:15:10.079,0:15:14.920
jum jump out on top of me if you wanted
0:15:11.759,0:15:16.920
to yeah exactly and so I grabb my bow
0:15:14.920,0:15:18.800
but that's an off it's to my right so
0:15:16.920,0:15:21.079
I'm right-handed it's my offhand shot
0:15:18.800,0:15:24.079
I've got to turn all the way around well
0:15:21.079,0:15:26.600
as I stand up uh I couldn't put the seat
0:15:24.079,0:15:29.519
up he catches me standing up just throws
0:15:26.600,0:15:32.920
that head looks straight up at me yeah
0:15:29.519,0:15:34.639
everybody been there oh yeah and you
0:15:32.920,0:15:37.639
know it was me I was moving big but I
0:15:34.639,0:15:39.880
mean he was already so close and uh I
0:15:37.639,0:15:41.759
moved big he caught me and I said you
0:15:39.880,0:15:43.399
know oh man he's gonna bust I don't know
0:15:41.759,0:15:44.759
why my mind instantly went to he's
0:15:43.399,0:15:46.480
leaving so I just went ahead and clipped
0:15:44.759,0:15:48.480
my release on my bow and went ahead and
0:15:46.480,0:15:50.959
finished turning around we had a tree in
0:15:48.480,0:15:53.839
between both of us and I said man I just
0:15:50.959,0:15:56.279
need two more steps that's that's all I
0:15:53.839,0:15:59.319
need is two more steps and I've got him
0:15:56.279,0:16:00.920
he's gonna be right here and it you know
0:15:59.319,0:16:03.319
it was only about a minute and a half
0:16:00.920,0:16:06.319
I'd say if that but it felt like 10
0:16:03.319,0:16:08.519
years and um he finally took a step
0:16:06.319,0:16:10.440
forward and then he took a hard step to
0:16:08.519,0:16:13.279
the left to go up the bank on the other
0:16:10.440,0:16:15.279
side of that Gully and um it was a
0:16:13.279,0:16:18.240
slightly quarter and two but it was an
0:16:15.279,0:16:21.319
eight- yard shot and it was perfect man
0:16:18.240,0:16:25.120
uh he kind of looked back up at me as I
0:16:21.319,0:16:27.240
went to full draw and when I shot he dug
0:16:25.120,0:16:28.639
up that Creek Bank ran about 30 yards
0:16:27.240,0:16:30.880
and He piled up right at the edge of the
0:16:28.639,0:16:33.480
corner field man he was done in 15
0:16:30.880,0:16:36.920
seconds and it was the greatest hunt of
0:16:33.480,0:16:40.600
my life awesome awesome
0:16:36.920,0:16:43.199
and awesome awesome season to have have
0:16:40.600,0:16:47.519
a few encounters and scout out one
0:16:43.199,0:16:50.079
particular buck and hunt him smart and
0:16:47.519,0:16:52.120
finally you know finish it off with with
0:16:50.079,0:16:55.839
notching you tag on him with
0:16:52.120,0:16:59.040
10948 inch Kentucky white tail during
0:16:55.839,0:17:01.519
archery season freaking awesome
0:16:59.040,0:17:04.720
yes sir it was uh like I say I mean
0:17:01.519,0:17:06.319
there was you know most people well you
0:17:04.720,0:17:09.000
take that last that other big deer I
0:17:06.319,0:17:11.439
killed in 22 I mean we talked about him
0:17:09.000,0:17:13.280
and I mean that was just a kind of a not
0:17:11.439,0:17:15.880
a dumb look I mean it was hunting smart
0:17:13.280,0:17:17.439
but it no history you know he showed up
0:17:15.880,0:17:20.520
went in there with a good plan and
0:17:17.439,0:17:23.319
killed him right and this was the exact
0:17:20.520,0:17:26.839
opposite I thought I thought I had every
0:17:23.319,0:17:29.120
plan every stand location was perfect
0:17:26.839,0:17:32.120
this was great that was great and this
0:17:29.120,0:17:33.640
deer outsmarted me every single step of
0:17:32.120,0:17:37.600
the way well and that's one of the
0:17:33.640,0:17:41.200
things this is this is not Gage's first
0:17:37.600,0:17:43.960
190 inch Buck now I guess technically
0:17:41.200,0:17:45.880
the other one was 189 in but that's
0:17:43.960,0:17:49.039
close enough to 190 in for me I'm

coyote Coller as well and I know you
0:19:26.000,0:19:29.200

0:19:28.000,0:19:30.679
this year and you you haven't done a
0:19:29.200,0:19:33.679
whole lot this fall because you've been
0:19:30.679,0:19:35.720
after Mega moose but you have found time
0:19:33.679,0:19:37.039
to make a few stands and uh I think you
0:19:35.720,0:19:39.559
just made a stand here over the last
0:19:37.039,0:19:41.240
couple weeks and and and had called some
0:19:39.559,0:19:42.520
coyotes you want you want to tell us
0:19:41.240,0:19:45.039
about that I think you had a little
0:19:42.520,0:19:46.480
mishap but yeah yeah you're going to rub
0:19:45.039,0:19:49.360
it in on me Ain you you're G have to
0:19:46.480,0:19:52.120
tell everybody well yeah so I guess it
0:19:49.360,0:19:54.640
was actually Monday before I killed him
0:19:52.120,0:19:56.799
um I made a couple stands I guess I made
0:19:54.640,0:19:59.760
one that Friday and then one that Monday
0:19:56.799,0:20:01.960
had cow interactions on both but the
0:19:59.760,0:20:05.039
Monday it called him up just as pretty
0:20:01.960,0:20:07.520
as could be 110 yards 120 yards just
0:20:05.039,0:20:10.400
standing I mean like you wrote it up on
0:20:07.520,0:20:12.799
a script and I whiffed big
0:20:10.400,0:20:15.440
time yes I was focused on deer a little
0:20:12.799,0:20:18.440
too much caught it up close right you
0:20:15.440,0:20:20.159
say it was like it was Chip Shot yeah I
0:20:18.440,0:20:21.760
mean it was a 100 yard just I mean
0:20:20.159,0:20:23.559
pretty as could be everything you ever
0:20:21.760,0:20:25.480
wanted he checked up on his own didn't
0:20:23.559,0:20:28.080
have to stop him nothing I mean it was
0:20:25.480,0:20:30.559
your I mean your textbook call in and I
0:20:28.080,0:20:33.159
just messed all up just a single Coy
0:20:30.559,0:20:34.559
call in yeah yeah just call in a single
0:20:33.159,0:20:38.200
what what do you what did you call him
0:20:34.559,0:20:39.799
up on uh so those Coy interactions I was
0:20:38.200,0:20:41.880
talking about called those up they were
0:20:39.799,0:20:43.360
just too thick to see I was in some pip
0:20:41.880,0:20:45.720
stuff there but the coy that actually
0:20:43.360,0:20:48.080
called up ended up missing I had started
0:20:45.720,0:20:49.679
off with just some uh General prey
0:20:48.080,0:20:51.240
distress I actually think I kicked the
0:20:49.679,0:20:54.480
stand off with
0:20:51.240,0:20:56.760
um it probably was Mrs motton pill or Ki
0:20:54.480,0:20:58.760
I can't remember exactly and then I'm a
0:20:56.760,0:21:00.559
big bird guy so you always catch me me
0:20:58.760,0:21:02.200
going in and probably throwing some fly
0:21:00.559,0:21:06.320
catcher some yellow Hammer something
0:21:02.200,0:21:08.480
like that yeah um I I tend to throw that
0:21:06.320,0:21:12.080
this time of year and then I rolled into
0:21:08.480,0:21:13.679
some just hals different new mfk hals
0:21:12.080,0:21:16.600
and what I actually ended up calling the
0:21:13.679,0:21:18.600
KY out on was uh played a little segment
0:21:16.600,0:21:20.600
of girl fight and then rolled into table
0:21:18.600,0:21:23.360
scraps yep
0:21:20.600,0:21:25.440
yep and that uh that actually was kind
0:21:23.360,0:21:27.640
of what got those cows the Friday before
0:21:25.440,0:21:30.520
riled up as well was that kind of
0:21:27.640,0:21:32.799
transition in between those two uh those
0:21:30.520,0:21:34.799
two fight sounds there and that seemed
0:21:32.799,0:21:37.480
to be what hit like I say a lot of our
0:21:34.799,0:21:39.480
CS here around the house they've got
0:21:37.480,0:21:41.559
more than enough pressure put on them
0:21:39.480,0:21:43.000
this past year and uh they've been a
0:21:41.559,0:21:44.960
little bit tougher to call so it was
0:21:43.000,0:21:46.960
actually later in both stands when both
0:21:44.960,0:21:48.400
coyotes came out but that seemed to be
0:21:46.960,0:21:50.720
the sounds that triggered them up pretty
0:21:48.400,0:21:52.320
well yeah you know and I've kind of
0:21:50.720,0:21:54.320
noticed that I've done quite a bit of
0:21:52.320,0:21:56.720
coyot calling over the last few weeks
0:21:54.320,0:22:00.840
and uh it seems like the coyot vocals
0:21:56.720,0:22:02.039
are really what has been hot um I've
0:22:00.840,0:22:05.360
actually hunted a couple different
0:22:02.039,0:22:08.120
states now when we were in Wyoming we
0:22:05.360,0:22:10.720
hunted Wyoming a few weeks ago uh called
0:22:08.120,0:22:11.960
in several coyotes think called in I
0:22:10.720,0:22:14.039
can't remember it was like eight
0:22:11.960,0:22:15.600
different coyotes or something like that
0:22:14.039,0:22:17.880
and they came a little bit of everything
0:22:15.600,0:22:20.600
you know call some in on social stuff
0:22:17.880,0:22:22.080
prey stuff and pup to stress stuff now
0:22:20.600,0:22:23.600
the interesting thing is we didn't call
0:22:22.080,0:22:26.520
in the first KY didn't have the first
0:22:23.600,0:22:28.080
reaction to a fight which I thought was
0:22:26.520,0:22:30.600
interesting and we probably called most
0:22:28.080,0:22:33.840
of them in on pre distress and we were
0:22:30.600,0:22:36.080
using bird quite a bit out there uh we
0:22:33.840,0:22:38.400
did kill one for sure remember killing
0:22:36.080,0:22:41.120
one on bird and then the bulk of the
0:22:38.400,0:22:43.640
colins were actually two rabbit and and
0:22:41.120,0:22:47.279
social sounds and pup distresses some
0:22:43.640,0:22:48.840
reason uh fights just wasn't wasn't
0:22:47.279,0:22:51.640
doing it out there but the prey and
0:22:48.840,0:22:55.799
social sounds and and your lighter P
0:22:51.640,0:22:59.120
distresses were now fast forward to
0:22:55.799,0:23:02.880
Kentucky calling around here quite a bit
0:22:59.120,0:23:05.200
um I've only called one coyote up over
0:23:02.880,0:23:07.240
the last few weeks to a pray to stress
0:23:05.200,0:23:09.520
sound and that happened to be raccoon
0:23:07.240,0:23:11.600
distress young raccoon distress is what
0:23:09.520,0:23:13.279
it what I called it up on most
0:23:11.600,0:23:15.679
everything here has been coming to
0:23:13.279,0:23:18.240
vocals and I don't know what in the
0:23:15.679,0:23:19.760
world the deal that is and the reason I
0:23:18.240,0:23:21.640
called that one coyote up to Young
0:23:19.760,0:23:23.679
raccoon dist stress it was actually
0:23:21.640,0:23:25.840
middle of day this was like 11:00 in the
0:23:23.679,0:23:28.200
morning right going into lunchtime I'd
0:23:25.840,0:23:30.799
been calling k for coyotes and wanted to
0:23:28.200,0:23:32.520
make one more stand but didn't figure i'
0:23:30.799,0:23:34.000
I'd probably call a coyote up at that
0:23:32.520,0:23:36.039
time and it was actually concentrating
0:23:34.000,0:23:37.799
on a spot that's usually pretty well
0:23:36.039,0:23:39.559
known for for raccoons I was actually
0:23:37.799,0:23:41.919
trying to call in a raccoon so I started
0:23:39.559,0:23:43.640
off with young raccoon distress and
0:23:41.919,0:23:46.039
right before I changed to my next sound
0:23:43.640,0:23:48.120
I look up and I see something coming and
0:23:46.039,0:23:50.840
I think it's a I'm thinking it's a
0:23:48.120,0:23:52.600
raccoon he a big old fluffy coyot come
0:23:50.840,0:23:54.360
up here and I shot the thing at like 18
0:23:52.600,0:23:56.840
steps or something like that shotgun so
0:23:54.360,0:23:58.559
and it came to Young raccoon distress it
0:23:56.840,0:24:02.520
was kind of odd you ever call a coy up
0:23:58.559,0:24:04.440
to raccoon sounds yeah actually uh we
0:24:02.520,0:24:06.240
kind of talked about that a little bit
0:24:04.440,0:24:09.200
with some buddies last year I went down
0:24:06.240,0:24:11.760
and hunted with Rodney last year and um
0:24:09.200,0:24:13.200
we were laid into a stand switched to
0:24:11.760,0:24:15.919
Raccoon distress because we was on this
0:24:13.200,0:24:18.039
big creek bottom and look behind us man
0:24:15.919,0:24:20.880
and these two cops came from I'm talking
0:24:18.039,0:24:22.600
some distance and came all the way in
0:24:20.880,0:24:25.360
rod end up making an amazing shot on
0:24:22.600,0:24:26.840
them but came into raccoon distress and
0:24:25.360,0:24:28.520
that was that was actually the first
0:24:26.840,0:24:30.840
time I'd ever done it and since then
0:24:28.520,0:24:32.960
replicated it a couple times and yeah
0:24:30.840,0:24:36.480
don't ever rule that out cuz it works
0:24:32.960,0:24:38.960
yeah yeah it uh I raccoon stuff is
0:24:36.480,0:24:43.240
actually I I'll usually run that later
0:24:38.960,0:24:45.679
in the season I know uh coyot have heard
0:24:43.240,0:24:46.960
U you know tons of different sounds and
0:24:45.679,0:24:49.279
usually you don't have a lot of people
0:24:46.960,0:24:52.360
running the raccoon stuff and I've
0:24:49.279,0:24:54.440
caught in Bobcats and cats uh to Raccoon
0:24:52.360,0:24:56.279
stuff so definitely definitely keep that
0:24:54.440,0:25:00.120
in your back pocket cuz they will come
0:24:56.279,0:25:01.799
to the raccoon sounds that is for sure
0:25:00.120,0:25:05.640
yes
0:25:01.799,0:25:07.880
sir now like oh yeah I'm sorry go go
0:25:05.640,0:25:09.440
ahead I I was going to say the same
0:25:07.880,0:25:12.159
thing you were talking pray dist stress
0:25:09.440,0:25:15.120
though here as far as in Kentucky I
0:25:12.159,0:25:18.000
don't think uh I don't think I've called
0:25:15.120,0:25:20.000
a c this year to pray dist stress yeah
0:25:18.000,0:25:22.039
and I don't really know what the deal is
0:25:20.000,0:25:24.200
yet I've kind of I slacked back off of
0:25:22.039,0:25:26.520
it I B so you know if they're not coming
0:25:24.200,0:25:29.760
to it uh you
0:25:26.520,0:25:31.399
know I noticed that they were coming to
0:25:29.760,0:25:32.960
different sounds so I've kind of backed
0:25:31.399,0:25:35.320
off the pra distress this is the time of
0:25:32.960,0:25:37.760
year I really start mixing it in this is
0:25:35.320,0:25:40.559
the family bust up time period and it
0:25:37.760,0:25:43.360
seems like they are busting up a little
0:25:40.559,0:25:45.320
bit but but the family groups are still
0:25:43.360,0:25:47.120
tied into each other I've called in
0:25:45.320,0:25:50.000
multiple coyotes on several different
0:25:47.120,0:25:51.760
stands and I've had several groups of
0:25:50.000,0:25:53.440
coyotes how back where you can tell that
0:25:51.760,0:25:55.880
it's more than just a pair you know
0:25:53.440,0:25:58.679
it'll be three four cows so they're
0:25:55.880,0:26:00.480
still pretty pretty close knit right now
0:25:58.679,0:26:03.520
uh for some reason this is going you
0:26:00.480,0:26:06.799
know this is of course um going into the
0:26:03.520,0:26:08.440
second week of November I guess uh but
0:26:06.799,0:26:11.360
it's what's really been hot is the
0:26:08.440,0:26:15.159
vocals I've had I've called up coyotes
0:26:11.360,0:26:17.679
just strictly to house a coyote house to
0:26:15.159,0:26:19.799
the social sounds and and to the fights
0:26:17.679,0:26:22.000
um one particular stand that was kind of
0:26:19.799,0:26:24.000
a stand out was a midday stand I think
0:26:22.000,0:26:25.720
it was like 11:00 in the morning 11:30
0:26:24.000,0:26:27.320
another one of those deals where I'd
0:26:25.720,0:26:28.840
been calling that morning and called
0:26:27.320,0:26:31.840
some coyes and one of make one more
0:26:28.840,0:26:33.880
stand before lunch and um decided to
0:26:31.840,0:26:35.679
make a stand it's actually pretty wide
0:26:33.880,0:26:37.440
open usually that I would not make this
0:26:35.679,0:26:39.559
it was early early morning or late
0:26:37.440,0:26:41.880
evening or like a nighttime set because
0:26:39.559,0:26:43.520
it's a big hay field but got thickets on
0:26:41.880,0:26:45.360
two different sides kyes can actually
0:26:43.520,0:26:47.600
come from three different directions but
0:26:45.360,0:26:48.880
I set up on that and started off with a
0:26:47.600,0:26:50.480
little bit of prey distress actually
0:26:48.880,0:26:53.520
started off with nutty nut hatch played
0:26:50.480,0:26:55.919
it for about 3 minutes and um nothing
0:26:53.520,0:26:57.039
showed I said man I said probably ain't
0:26:55.919,0:26:58.880
going to come no way I'm just going to
0:26:57.039,0:27:01.880
go straight into my fights and I went
0:26:58.880,0:27:04.240
into U I can't remember which one it was
0:27:01.880,0:27:06.240
it was one of the mfk fights but sure
0:27:04.240,0:27:09.120
enough within two minutes of playing it
0:27:06.240,0:27:11.840
I catch some movement from my right and
0:27:09.120,0:27:13.600
I turn and I just see this streak this
0:27:11.840,0:27:16.440
black streak going through the field and
0:27:13.600,0:27:18.880
my first thought is that a dog and I
0:27:16.440,0:27:21.440
finally come to my senses it's a black
0:27:18.880,0:27:24.840
coyote had a black coyote come running
0:27:21.440,0:27:28.159
up there got it killed switched to
0:27:24.840,0:27:29.480
another I think I called it in on mfk y
0:27:28.159,0:27:31.039
Obama fight I think it's what it's
0:27:29.480,0:27:32.600
called that's a good one and then
0:27:31.039,0:27:34.880
switched right in the fight challenge
0:27:32.600,0:27:36.640
end up calling in a second coyote and
0:27:34.880,0:27:40.240
killed a double right there at like
0:27:36.640,0:27:43.640
11:15 11:30 in the morning I mean Sun up
0:27:40.240,0:27:45.519
high midday as it gets had a double L on
0:27:43.640,0:27:47.840
the ground that come that got them up on
0:27:45.519,0:27:49.480
their feet to come into like a 60 acre
0:27:47.840,0:27:51.440
Al Alpha field I mean it's a big old
0:27:49.480,0:27:53.720
field come right out into the middle of
0:27:51.440,0:27:55.519
the field and had a had a double on the
0:27:53.720,0:27:57.679
ground and one of them happened to be
0:27:55.519,0:28:00.080
the Boon and Crockett of coyotes a
0:27:57.679,0:28:02.080
daytime I'm black coow it's pretty
0:28:00.080,0:28:03.480
awesome about say I think you got more
0:28:02.080,0:28:05.240
Boon and Crockett coow than I've got
0:28:03.480,0:28:07.919
Boon and Crockett
0:28:05.240,0:28:09.720
deer you know I've kind of coined that
0:28:07.919,0:28:12.200
phrase on the black Coy especially for a
0:28:09.720,0:28:14.799
daytime one you know there's some areas
0:28:12.200,0:28:17.640
of the country that has more black coyes
0:28:14.799,0:28:20.480
and others and and they kind of can be
0:28:17.640,0:28:22.799
sort of common for them uh but but you
0:28:20.480,0:28:25.799
know I I get the opportunity like maybe
0:28:22.799,0:28:27.679
one a year or one every two years uh
0:28:25.799,0:28:30.000
they are out there in my area but not
0:28:27.679,0:28:32.720
everyday occurrence that's for sure and
0:28:30.000,0:28:34.360
to see them during the day it's it's
0:28:32.720,0:28:36.760
pretty rare really and you know there's
0:28:34.360,0:28:38.600
a big section of United States that
0:28:36.760,0:28:41.720
they'll never see a black out you know
0:28:38.600,0:28:44.559
you go west you go west of Mississippi
0:28:41.720,0:28:47.320
you'll I think I've heard of a h coming
0:28:44.559,0:28:50.360
out like Oklahoma I think but other than
0:28:47.320,0:28:51.679
that um know maybe Missouri but other
0:28:50.360,0:28:53.960
than that you don't really hear of a
0:28:51.679,0:28:56.120
black Co coming from anywhere else
0:28:53.960,0:28:58.559
besides East the Mississippi States like
0:28:56.120,0:29:00.760
Kentucky uh Tennessee down in the
0:28:58.559,0:29:03.519
Southeast like you Florida and Georgia
0:29:00.760,0:29:06.559
and the Carolina's uh Arkansas's got
0:29:03.519,0:29:09.080
some got some black coyes um
0:29:06.559,0:29:11.640
Pennsylvania Ohio but it's mostly an
0:29:09.080,0:29:13.480
Eastern thing and there's really not a
0:29:11.640,0:29:14.720
ton of them there's now every once a
0:29:13.480,0:29:16.240
while you'll see some with the big pile
0:29:14.720,0:29:18.279
of coyotes they might have one or two
0:29:16.240,0:29:19.919
black ones from these southeastern
0:29:18.279,0:29:21.679
states but it's still it's still a
0:29:19.919,0:29:23.440
rarity if you really think about it and
0:29:21.679,0:29:25.360
you know like I said that you Boon and
0:29:23.440,0:29:26.919
crocketts if you ask me is your black
0:29:25.360,0:29:28.799
Coy if there ever going to be a boon and
0:29:26.919,0:29:31.840
Crockett class for k it might as well be
0:29:28.799,0:29:34.120
a black one right oh yeah and like I
0:29:31.840,0:29:36.480
said you talk about Kentucky and
0:29:34.120,0:29:38.000
Tennessee I mean especially seem you
0:29:36.480,0:29:40.559
know your part of the state I mean I've
0:29:38.000,0:29:43.080
got one solid one and I've got a couple
0:29:40.559,0:29:46.080
brindle ones but like take guys like you
0:29:43.080,0:29:48.679
and Greg kind of in that central line
0:29:46.080,0:29:50.159
there I mean I'd say you be hard pressed
0:29:48.679,0:29:53.519
to find anybody that's got more than you
0:29:50.159,0:29:55.200
two guys and I mean like you say I we
0:29:53.519,0:29:58.440
might get a chance at one here at the
0:29:55.200,0:30:00.679
house maybe every once every five years
0:29:58.440,0:30:03.240
and me and you were only an hour apart
0:30:00.679,0:30:05.159
right yeah yeah hour and a half and
0:30:03.240,0:30:06.880
that's the thing even here in in the
0:30:05.159,0:30:08.840
county where I do most of my hunting you
0:30:06.880,0:30:10.960
won't find them all over the county it's
0:30:08.840,0:30:13.679
just like in in pockets and it seems
0:30:10.960,0:30:16.240
like if you ever kill a black coyot in a
0:30:13.679,0:30:17.399
certain area you know on down the road
0:30:16.240,0:30:19.000
years to come you're probably going to
0:30:17.399,0:30:22.679
kill more of them it seem like it's in
0:30:19.000,0:30:25.279
the in the Jean pool or something
0:30:22.679,0:30:27.720
yep I agree with that too both of mine
0:30:25.279,0:30:30.760
came off the same stand on the same farm
0:30:27.720,0:30:32.960
right right and and actually this you
0:30:30.760,0:30:34.600
know this uh black coyot out of this
0:30:32.960,0:30:37.720
double here that that's a particular
0:30:34.600,0:30:40.480
stand well it maybe not be the specific
0:30:37.720,0:30:42.559
stand but the stand from the same field
0:30:40.480,0:30:44.799
I've killed other black Coyotes out of
0:30:42.559,0:30:48.320
this field before uh previous year so
0:30:44.799,0:30:50.279
they're it's one of those Pockets but um
0:30:48.320,0:30:54.760
to go right along to to some more kyot
0:30:50.279,0:30:57.519
Callins I'd killed a um another double
0:30:54.760,0:30:58.760
uh just a few days after that and both
0:30:57.519,0:30:59.960
these guys is kind of another one of
0:30:58.760,0:31:01.320
those things that they're two-pointers
0:30:59.960,0:31:03.120
you know got the big white tip on her
0:31:01.320,0:31:04.679
tail and actually the first Cy come out
0:31:03.120,0:31:06.760
when I first seen it it's kind of
0:31:04.679,0:31:08.679
reddish colored and I that was one of
0:31:06.760,0:31:10.360
the first things I seen was that big
0:31:08.679,0:31:12.240
two-point white tip tail I actually
0:31:10.360,0:31:13.880
thought it was a fox at first like I'd
0:31:12.240,0:31:15.720
rustled a fox up out of the holler but
0:31:13.880,0:31:17.440
end up being co but that's the same
0:31:15.720,0:31:19.960
thing it was like a midm morning stand
0:31:17.440,0:31:21.679
gauge and I started off with some rabbit
0:31:19.960,0:31:23.960
I think I started off with Mrs MC Cotton
0:31:21.679,0:31:25.600
Tail and and got to within you know
0:31:23.960,0:31:28.120
played maybe two minutes of it I got to
0:31:25.600,0:31:30.080
think to myself you know I ain't called
0:31:28.120,0:31:32.559
Squad in on this prayest stress I might
0:31:30.080,0:31:34.399
as well go right in to my vocals so I
0:31:32.559,0:31:37.480
let out a couple house think I let out
0:31:34.399,0:31:40.159
mfk juice lonely house answered it back
0:31:37.480,0:31:43.000
with a female sorous from Fox Pro and
0:31:40.159,0:31:45.159
went right into pound town I think and
0:31:43.000,0:31:47.480
sure enough here come the Coyotes out
0:31:45.159,0:31:48.960
this is like 9:30 or 10:00 and end up
0:31:47.480,0:31:50.880
killing a double on that stand this
0:31:48.960,0:31:53.480
coyote I think came to pound town from
0:31:50.880,0:31:55.159
the right come out just circled out it
0:31:53.480,0:31:58.360
was just kind of coyot it was a a
0:31:55.159,0:31:59.600
yearling coyot you can tell like it was
0:31:58.360,0:32:01.240
it wasn't going to it wasn't hard
0:31:59.600,0:32:03.200
charging the call it just looped out in
0:32:01.240,0:32:05.679
the field out in front of me about 150
0:32:03.200,0:32:07.880
yards 175 yards it wanted to see what
0:32:05.679,0:32:09.880
all the Ruckus was he thought you know
0:32:07.880,0:32:12.039
he thought a couple of his sisters and
0:32:09.880,0:32:14.120
brothers were fighting or whatever got
0:32:12.039,0:32:16.960
that KY knocked down switched right into
0:32:14.120,0:32:18.960
another fight uh table scraps I think
0:32:16.960,0:32:20.799
and all a sudden here come another Coy
0:32:18.960,0:32:23.639
from the opposite holler I was hunting a
0:32:20.799,0:32:25.240
big long pasture field R first KY come
0:32:23.639,0:32:26.919
from the right then the second one come
0:32:25.240,0:32:30.799
from the left and that's like your
0:32:26.919,0:32:33.000
typical family bust up type stand so
0:32:30.799,0:32:35.200
what I'm getting at is these sounds that
0:32:33.000,0:32:36.840
these coyotes are coming to uh we
0:32:35.200,0:32:39.960
released a podcast just two or three
0:32:36.840,0:32:42.679
episodes ago with Tory cook of mfk and
0:32:39.960,0:32:44.600
it is titled family bust up you guys
0:32:42.679,0:32:46.240
need to go listen to that podcast and
0:32:44.600,0:32:49.519
what I've been calling coyotes in on
0:32:46.240,0:32:52.679
over the last few weeks is is that is
0:32:49.519,0:32:53.919
those sequences those sounds uh those
0:32:52.679,0:32:55.360
type of setups that we were talking
0:32:53.919,0:32:57.639
about that's what all these coyotes have
0:32:55.360,0:32:59.279
been coming to I mean and and when they
0:32:57.639,0:33:00.200
come to these coyote vocals they're
0:32:59.279,0:33:03.200
coming
0:33:00.200,0:33:05.120
great oh yeah that I mean that Coy like
0:33:03.200,0:33:07.639
I say I mean I wouldn't classify it as a
0:33:05.120,0:33:09.200
hard charger but it was you know kind of
0:33:07.639,0:33:11.279
one of those rolled into the more
0:33:09.200,0:33:13.360
aggressive stuff and it was instant you
0:33:11.279,0:33:15.480
know just Boom Out of the Woods come out
0:33:13.360,0:33:18.639
of the wood Edge about 20 yards and
0:33:15.480,0:33:21.200
checked up and I mean you know just was
0:33:18.639,0:33:23.240
on top of it was wanting that call and I
0:33:21.200,0:33:25.559
mean so some really good Callins out of
0:33:23.240,0:33:28.000
this and to kind of loop back to
0:33:25.559,0:33:30.080
something you said about you know you
0:33:28.000,0:33:32.200
seeing family groups together a little
0:33:30.080,0:33:34.120
bit later in the year this year you
0:33:32.200,0:33:36.279
could say the same for deer I couldn't
0:33:34.120,0:33:38.679
tell you how many Doe's that I had still
0:33:36.279,0:33:40.039
carrying yearlings I mean heck I've got
0:33:38.679,0:33:42.000
a couple right now that are still
0:33:40.039,0:33:44.159
packing yearlings I mean we're you know
0:33:42.000,0:33:46.919
looking what everybody's talking about
0:33:44.159,0:33:48.720
rut wise so I mean it's kind of seemed
0:33:46.919,0:33:50.639
like everything was just a little behind
0:33:48.720,0:33:52.399
this year right I agree with you same
0:33:50.639,0:33:55.000
thing here and seemed like bucks were
0:33:52.399,0:33:57.200
more buddy buddy with each other later
0:33:55.000,0:33:58.559
into the year as well so it must yeah
0:33:57.200,0:34:01.399
for sure
0:33:58.559,0:34:03.080
must be must be something to it for sure
0:34:01.399,0:34:04.559
um asides for those doubles right there
0:34:03.080,0:34:08.000
was talking about I've called in several
0:34:04.559,0:34:10.000
singles over last few weeks and one one
0:34:08.000,0:34:11.560
single stood out my mind I actually come
0:34:10.000,0:34:13.560
in to hunt this place I call it like
0:34:11.560,0:34:16.720
twice a year it's a pasture field that
0:34:13.560,0:34:18.800
drops off into a big hauler and and the
0:34:16.720,0:34:21.760
head of that holler is always good for
0:34:18.800,0:34:23.040
holding a group of Cs especially for
0:34:21.760,0:34:26.000
fall time I always try to call it
0:34:23.040,0:34:27.560
September October 1 of November and
0:34:26.000,0:34:29.079
driving in on the Farm Road kind of like
0:34:27.560,0:34:30.760
what you was talking about the road in
0:34:29.079,0:34:33.839
between those crop field this is just a
0:34:30.760,0:34:35.240
two trck Farm Road uh as I'm coming down
0:34:33.839,0:34:37.919
to it to park at the barn where I
0:34:35.240,0:34:39.599
usually do I see a flash of something
0:34:37.919,0:34:41.320
out there in the field stop pull up my
0:34:39.599,0:34:43.879
binoculars at sitting there on the
0:34:41.320,0:34:45.720
console i' bump a Coy out of the field
0:34:43.879,0:34:48.280
well the coyot was out in the pasture
0:34:45.720,0:34:49.679
field so I was like well I'll go ahead
0:34:48.280,0:34:51.200
and call it anyway because it's one of
0:34:49.679,0:34:53.800
those deals you mentioned the East Wind
0:34:51.200,0:34:56.679
earlier uh we don't have many East wins
0:34:53.800,0:34:58.440
here in in Kentucky and when we do have
0:34:56.679,0:34:59.960
the East wins this year we've had a
0:34:58.440,0:35:02.920
bunch of them seems like pretty good
0:34:59.960,0:35:04.880
stretch every day yeah I know it so I've
0:35:02.920,0:35:06.520
got like this one set of you know set of
0:35:04.880,0:35:08.160
stands I always call with these twins
0:35:06.520,0:35:10.320
and this is this happened to be one of
0:35:08.160,0:35:12.440
them uh went down our parked at the barn
0:35:10.320,0:35:14.920
and I actually waited about 15 minutes
0:35:12.440,0:35:16.359
or so uh just kind of said to myself
0:35:14.920,0:35:18.119
well I'll let that Coy go in there and
0:35:16.359,0:35:19.480
calm down uh you know it's got to be
0:35:18.119,0:35:21.000
used to Farmers coming in there and
0:35:19.480,0:35:23.200
everything else and I said then I I'll
0:35:21.000,0:35:26.320
slip in there and try you know and got
0:35:23.200,0:35:28.200
up there and got set up and I I started
0:35:26.320,0:35:32.920
off with uh
0:35:28.200,0:35:34.800
mfk uh bougie homesick house um nothing
0:35:32.920,0:35:36.520
answered I followed that up with one of
0:35:34.800,0:35:38.520
the pup house I can't remember which one
0:35:36.520,0:35:41.440
I used might have been C5 young Coy
0:35:38.520,0:35:43.880
house um but anyway nothing and then I
0:35:41.440,0:35:45.920
followed that ride up with the mfk
0:35:43.880,0:35:48.880
sister PA housee well right in the
0:35:45.920,0:35:50.720
middle of that sister parous there was a
0:35:48.880,0:35:52.599
family group of coyes lit up when I say
0:35:50.720,0:35:54.920
a family group it sound like four or
0:35:52.599,0:35:57.000
five of them all right they were in that
0:35:54.920,0:35:59.680
holler I mean they were burning the
0:35:57.000,0:36:01.680
woods down gauge well while they're
0:35:59.680,0:36:04.520
burning the woods down howling I hear
0:36:01.680,0:36:06.079
gravel popping so I look over my right
0:36:04.520,0:36:08.480
shoulder back up towards where I parked
0:36:06.079,0:36:10.560
the truck and sure enough here comes a
0:36:08.480,0:36:13.440
far here comes a farm
0:36:10.560,0:36:15.280
hand driving a pickup truck down through
0:36:13.440,0:36:16.640
there so I'm like good grief these
0:36:15.280,0:36:18.079
coyotes going to come out and we're
0:36:16.640,0:36:20.720
going to they're goingon to get bumped
0:36:18.079,0:36:22.280
for a second time right so I'm watching
0:36:20.720,0:36:24.560
watching it's like I'm in a different
0:36:22.280,0:36:26.160
truck I I bought a new newer truck here
0:36:24.560,0:36:27.720
at the beginning of the year so it's
0:36:26.160,0:36:29.240
probably the first time this truck has
0:36:27.720,0:36:30.359
been on this place I'm like man I'm
0:36:29.240,0:36:32.000
going to have to walk down and let them
0:36:30.359,0:36:34.160
know who's here they don't know whose
0:36:32.000,0:36:37.800
truck that is you know they pull down in
0:36:34.160,0:36:40.680
my truck turn around and then leave out
0:36:37.800,0:36:42.839
I'm like okay well we'll see we'll see
0:36:40.680,0:36:45.079
what happens so I decided I like well
0:36:42.839,0:36:46.720
we've had a lot of luck to uh to fight
0:36:45.079,0:36:48.480
so I'm just going to go ahead and go
0:36:46.720,0:36:49.760
right into the most aggressive stuff I
0:36:48.480,0:36:52.400
can get to so I just went ahead and
0:36:49.760,0:36:54.400
started playing mfk fight challenge
0:36:52.400,0:36:55.920
which is a super aggressive fight you
0:36:54.400,0:36:58.720
know I've done bumped a coyot out of the
0:36:55.920,0:37:00.599
field got these k to talking and then
0:36:58.720,0:37:03.960
here comes another vehicle down the down
0:37:00.599,0:37:07.000
the two track right well sure enough
0:37:03.960,0:37:09.440
here com a Coy out great big old I mean
0:37:07.000,0:37:10.800
great big old male KY I'm talking about
0:37:09.440,0:37:13.040
I didn't weigh him or nothing but he I'm
0:37:10.800,0:37:15.160
talking about like a mid-40s ky now I
0:37:13.040,0:37:16.560
didn't didn't give him a lot of time to
0:37:15.160,0:37:18.640
come out there and really work the call
0:37:16.560,0:37:21.599
and come in there real close I end up
0:37:18.640,0:37:26.079
shooting him about 160 170 yards which
0:37:21.599,0:37:28.520
is not a far shot but um the deal
0:37:26.079,0:37:30.240
is I bump bump the coy it's probably the
0:37:28.520,0:37:31.880
coy I bumped out of the field and then
0:37:30.240,0:37:33.960
another truck comes down in there and we
0:37:31.880,0:37:37.160
still called that Coy he they responded
0:37:33.960,0:37:39.079
so well uh to the fight stuff that's
0:37:37.160,0:37:41.920
just what has been hot this year so that
0:37:39.079,0:37:44.280
was another Coy to the fights right
0:37:41.920,0:37:45.800
there that and that's on an active
0:37:44.280,0:37:47.400
active Farm you know me driving down
0:37:45.800,0:37:48.960
through there and then then a workhand
0:37:47.400,0:37:50.880
driving down there as well of course
0:37:48.960,0:37:52.160
after I got the coyote killed I loaded
0:37:50.880,0:37:54.040
it up and went back over to the house
0:37:52.160,0:37:57.560
and showed them said hey it's me it's
0:37:54.040,0:37:58.839
John I'm in that black Ram truck
0:37:57.560,0:38:00.240
like well we was wondering who was down
0:37:58.839,0:38:01.800
there we didn't know whether to call a
0:38:00.240,0:38:03.880
law or what I said well I'm glad you
0:38:01.800,0:38:07.000
didn't call
0:38:03.880,0:38:09.240
them well like I say that's definitely
0:38:07.000,0:38:10.760
been my I haven't made many stands with
0:38:09.240,0:38:12.960
chasing this deer but the ones that I
0:38:10.760,0:38:14.880
have made any cow interactions that I've
0:38:12.960,0:38:16.760
had it has definitely been off the more
0:38:14.880,0:38:18.560
and more aggressive stuff you know than
0:38:16.760,0:38:20.720
just we're not even talking about you
0:38:18.560,0:38:22.760
know like a submissive sounds or
0:38:20.720,0:38:24.599
anything like that just I mean full out
0:38:22.760,0:38:27.640
fight sounds that's what they've been
0:38:24.599,0:38:29.520
keing up on so well I have called I have
0:38:27.640,0:38:31.920
called some coyotes in I like playing
0:38:29.520,0:38:36.319
submissive beggar and submissive Tapout
0:38:31.920,0:38:37.920
and from mfk and fox proos female coyot
0:38:36.319,0:38:40.680
missive we've talked about those sounds
0:38:37.920,0:38:45.000
a lot now I have called a few coyotes to
0:38:40.680,0:38:46.800
that um but it seems like the the most
0:38:45.000,0:38:48.920
the bulk of the coyes that I've killed
0:38:46.800,0:38:51.800
over this past month have either come
0:38:48.920,0:38:54.200
directly out to house or they've come to
0:38:51.800,0:38:56.800
a fight that's where the majority of the
0:38:54.200,0:39:00.920
the Callins have been and seem like the
0:38:56.800,0:39:02.800
cows have been super uh vocal this fall
0:39:00.920,0:39:04.440
for some reason there's a lot of stands
0:39:02.800,0:39:06.800
where I'm getting these coyos to answer
0:39:04.440,0:39:09.079
back and every single time I've had them
0:39:06.800,0:39:11.319
answered back over the past few weeks I
0:39:09.079,0:39:15.480
call those coyotes up or at least one of
0:39:11.319,0:39:17.640
them yeah now that uh I definitely agree
0:39:15.480,0:39:19.240
with that they have been very vocal cows
0:39:17.640,0:39:21.079
now I've had some that have kind of hung
0:39:19.240,0:39:23.960
up on me or that I've had to make moves
0:39:21.079,0:39:26.440
on things like that yep but um but
0:39:23.960,0:39:28.160
definitely seem a little bit more vocal
0:39:26.440,0:39:29.319
than they normally would might piggy
0:39:28.160,0:39:31.359
back to what we were talking about
0:39:29.319,0:39:32.720
before where just you know kind of
0:39:31.359,0:39:34.160
things are happening a little bit later
0:39:32.720,0:39:36.280
and you kind of getting those same
0:39:34.160,0:39:38.599
responses that you might in you know
0:39:36.280,0:39:40.920
September and August even maybe right
0:39:38.599,0:39:43.119
right and um there's one particular
0:39:40.920,0:39:44.880
stand that stands out my mind that we're
0:39:43.119,0:39:48.920
talking about coyotes actually coming to
0:39:44.880,0:39:51.400
house to the vocals um I had a a land
0:39:48.920,0:39:53.800
owner text me he's got a trail camera in
0:39:51.400,0:39:55.280
his driveway that he just you know case
0:39:53.800,0:39:57.560
somebody pulls up in there while they're
0:39:55.280,0:40:00.119
gone he knows who's been there well he
0:39:57.560,0:40:03.400
sends me a a trail camera picture of a
0:40:00.119,0:40:05.359
coyote in his driveway at like 6:30 in
0:40:03.400,0:40:06.440
the morning he's like man these coyotes
0:40:05.359,0:40:07.640
you got to be right out here in front of
0:40:06.440,0:40:10.680
the house somewhere and need come kill
0:40:07.640,0:40:13.400
him the funny thing was in that same
0:40:10.680,0:40:16.800
picture his daughter's cat is in the
0:40:13.400,0:40:19.079
driveway so that cat and that Coy are
0:40:16.800,0:40:22.079
like having to stare down now luckily
0:40:19.079,0:40:23.760
for uh his daughter the cat survived the
0:40:22.079,0:40:24.920
encounter but he was like can need get
0:40:23.760,0:40:26.520
out of here before this thing kills my
0:40:24.920,0:40:28.920
daughter's cat she's already worried to
0:40:26.520,0:40:30.640
death so I show up had good info from
0:40:28.920,0:40:32.800
the landowner I know where the coyot
0:40:30.640,0:40:34.920
should be and he told me that he had
0:40:32.800,0:40:37.760
heard a coyot howling from a particular
0:40:34.920,0:40:39.760
draw just like two nights before so I
0:40:37.760,0:40:41.880
key in on that draw I'm thinking that's
0:40:39.760,0:40:44.720
probably where this KY went to because
0:40:41.880,0:40:47.119
it's just like four or 500 yards away
0:40:44.720,0:40:49.480
from where this picture was taken well I
0:40:47.119,0:40:51.480
set up on that I think and I decided to
0:40:49.480,0:40:54.200
to do all vocals i w going to play no
0:40:51.480,0:40:58.000
pray to stress and I played three
0:40:54.200,0:41:00.800
straight mfk uh coyote house uh started
0:40:58.000,0:41:03.200
off with the bougie homesick house went
0:41:00.800,0:41:06.319
right into bhead Yodo how which is a
0:41:03.200,0:41:09.280
newer pup how and then went right into
0:41:06.319,0:41:12.240
uh um sister Parow just because I've had
0:41:09.280,0:41:13.720
so many Callins and so many coyes how
0:41:12.240,0:41:16.440
back over the last few weeks it's just
0:41:13.720,0:41:19.720
what I went with well I'm looking down
0:41:16.440,0:41:22.599
at my remote I'm I'm running a prototype
0:41:19.720,0:41:24.119
of this fox Pro X360 so I'm not real
0:41:22.599,0:41:25.680
used to the remote and all that stuff
0:41:24.119,0:41:27.680
yet so I'm scrolling through there try
0:41:25.680,0:41:31.000
to find my next sound I'm fixing go to
0:41:27.680,0:41:34.280
one of the submissive sounds find what I
0:41:31.000,0:41:36.000
want get it selected fix to unmute it
0:41:34.280,0:41:37.880
and I want to look up and just scan the
0:41:36.000,0:41:41.800
area well as soon as I look up I look
0:41:37.880,0:41:45.079
over at the X360 the cow standing like
0:41:41.800,0:41:47.640
10 steps past it like 10 12 steps just
0:41:45.079,0:41:49.880
standing there staring a hole through
0:41:47.640,0:41:51.920
that car as the sun's coming up so what
0:41:49.880,0:41:54.240
happened that c those C it did not
0:41:51.920,0:41:56.720
answer back just soon as I started
0:41:54.240,0:41:59.040
howling and and I played those three
0:41:56.720,0:42:01.079
sound f P just consecutively there was
0:41:59.040,0:42:03.480
like hardly no pause and if there was a
0:42:01.079,0:42:05.920
pause it was 10 seconds in between them
0:42:03.480,0:42:08.280
so all three of those house happened
0:42:05.920,0:42:10.960
fairly quick that Coy just got right up
0:42:08.280,0:42:12.440
on its feet come right into those house
0:42:10.960,0:42:16.000
whether to run those coyotes out of the
0:42:12.440,0:42:18.640
area fight whatever but anyway I just I
0:42:16.000,0:42:20.800
just kind of picked up my fat boy tripod
0:42:18.640,0:42:22.839
a little bit moved it over to the left
0:42:20.800,0:42:24.079
and shot that KY the way I'd set that up
0:42:22.839,0:42:25.640
actually had the wind blowing from left
0:42:24.079,0:42:27.440
to right so I was kind of set up to
0:42:25.640,0:42:29.839
shoot to the right for a Cy to come down
0:42:27.440,0:42:32.280
win that that Coy didn't do that they
0:42:29.839,0:42:34.040
just come straight to the call come
0:42:32.280,0:42:35.640
straight to those house right there was
0:42:34.040,0:42:37.119
another Coy down come straight to the
0:42:35.640,0:42:39.559
coyot
0:42:37.119,0:42:41.040
vocals yeah that that's another thing to
0:42:39.559,0:42:42.839
point out too that I didn't even think
0:42:41.040,0:42:46.480
about with that Coy that I actually
0:42:42.839,0:42:48.119
missed there last week um you know me I
0:42:46.480,0:42:49.880
we've talked about it in the past that I
0:42:48.119,0:42:51.760
like hunting either Crosswinds or I'm
0:42:49.880,0:42:54.520
even risky with some cutter winds here
0:42:51.760,0:42:56.400
and there I don't like a wind in my face
0:42:54.520,0:42:58.359
and I went in and hunted this stand with
0:42:56.400,0:43:00.359
a wind dead in my face blowing out in
0:42:58.359,0:43:02.920
the middle of a 100 Acre beanfield but I
0:43:00.359,0:43:04.839
was set up TI to the wood Edge and that
0:43:02.920,0:43:08.920

about win the that call yeah yeah yep it
0:43:08.920,0:43:12.359
they're it's a good time to be coyot
0:43:10.760,0:43:14.880
calling right now that's for sure which
0:43:12.359,0:43:16.920
of course we're now into our rifle deer
0:43:14.880,0:43:19.359

0:43:24.160,0:43:28.680
Fox and Bobcat season will be in as well
0:43:26.760,0:43:30.200

Missouri to hunt with Fox Pro Staff for
0:43:32.400,0:43:36.839
Cory gra and then probably go right out
0:43:34.440,0:43:39.680
to Kansas after that so we got a lot of
0:43:36.839,0:43:41.599
coyot calling plan for uh uh for the
0:43:39.680,0:43:43.520
upcoming few weeks but we'll be taking a
0:43:41.599,0:43:46.800
little bit of a break but you guys will
0:43:43.520,0:43:49.319
be hunting from this point on for the
0:43:46.800,0:43:50.880
next few weeks I think the KY vocals are
0:43:49.319,0:43:52.680
going to continue to be hot I'm sure
0:43:50.880,0:43:54.599
there's people that are calling coyes to
0:43:52.680,0:43:55.960
pray distress sounds if you are
0:43:54.599,0:43:58.240
definitely don't steer away from them
0:43:55.960,0:44:00.920
keep quit keep using what you've been
0:43:58.240,0:44:03.960
having luck with but I I strongly advise
0:44:00.920,0:44:07.000
you guys if you have not listened to the
0:44:03.960,0:44:08.720
family bust up Podcast with Tory cook go
0:44:07.000,0:44:11.640
back to listen listen to it because
0:44:08.720,0:44:13.079
that's still happening right now uh this
0:44:11.640,0:44:14.880
what we're we're right in the middle of
0:44:13.079,0:44:16.920
it there's still a lot of coachs that
0:44:14.880,0:44:20.000
are still grouped up and the stuff we
0:44:16.920,0:44:22.400
talk about on that family bus up episode
0:44:20.000,0:44:24.280
um it'll help you I mean that's what I'm
0:44:22.400,0:44:27.200
calling them in right to right now
0:44:24.280,0:44:29.880
probably 90% of my Callins across two
0:44:27.200,0:44:31.480
states have been to a house and fights
0:44:29.880,0:44:34.319
and then the rest of it's just do some
0:44:31.480,0:44:36.160
social sounds and only just a handful of
0:44:34.319,0:44:38.079
prey distress Callins like I said only
0:44:36.160,0:44:39.280
one prey distress call in here in
0:44:38.079,0:44:40.720
Kentucky and that was the raccoon
0:44:39.280,0:44:42.720
distress now I'm not saying I couldn't
0:44:40.720,0:44:45.400
go tomorrow morning and call them up on
0:44:42.720,0:44:49.079
rabbit or bird you know but the vocals
0:44:45.400,0:44:52.400
have been what's hot yeah for
0:44:49.079,0:44:55.440
sure Gage you got anything you'd like to
0:44:52.400,0:44:57.880
add before we jump off here we've talked
0:44:55.440,0:44:59.520
about Coy we've talked about bucks you
0:44:57.880,0:45:03.319
want to talk about anything
0:44:59.520,0:45:05.559
else I just I'm I think uh I think
0:45:03.319,0:45:07.359
circling back to Deer I believe the guys
0:45:05.559,0:45:10.520
that are ready for this upcoming rifle
0:45:07.359,0:45:12.599
season uh this opening weekend if things
0:45:10.520,0:45:14.200
keep doing what they're doing here and I
0:45:12.599,0:45:15.640
think next week kind of leading up to
0:45:14.200,0:45:18.200
that full moon towards the end of the
0:45:15.640,0:45:20.200
week after a little bit of a rain front
0:45:18.200,0:45:23.160
I look for a lot of big deer to fall too
0:45:20.200,0:45:25.160
as well so well I think it'll be good it
0:45:23.160,0:45:27.160
probably ain't going to be for me I had
0:45:25.160,0:45:28.880
a had a buck picked out to kind of had
0:45:27.160,0:45:30.000
my heart set on and he's vanished I
0:45:28.880,0:45:31.839
don't know if somebody else has killed
0:45:30.000,0:45:33.359
him or what but I passed up a ninepoint
0:45:31.839,0:45:35.800
to the day that I probably should have
0:45:33.359,0:45:39.319
shot and now he's vanish I actually
0:45:35.800,0:45:41.880
heard uh from a neighbor uh supposedly
0:45:39.319,0:45:44.000
they shot a ninepoint other day and
0:45:41.880,0:45:45.599
can't find so I'm sure it's a npoint I
0:45:44.000,0:45:48.280
passed up but you know what that's just
0:45:45.599,0:45:49.520
part of it that sure is I could have
0:45:48.280,0:45:51.319
killed him I could have killed him if I
0:45:49.520,0:45:53.520
wanted to and I decided not to so I'm
0:45:51.319,0:45:55.640
not like all that heart broke I was kind
0:45:53.520,0:45:57.400
of like man that sucker would have been
0:45:55.640,0:46:00.240
he would have been absolute he was a
0:45:57.400,0:46:02.040
pretty nice buck um most years I would
0:46:00.240,0:46:05.160
have been shooting that buck but you
0:46:02.040,0:46:06.760
know it just is what it is maybe yes sir
0:46:05.160,0:46:08.680
maybe I'll slip up and kill one I tell
0:46:06.760,0:46:10.319
you what my just really ain't seen
0:46:08.680,0:46:12.040
nothing else it's really blown my skirt
0:46:10.319,0:46:13.520
up far as the deer stuff for me I
0:46:12.040,0:46:16.359
definitely ain't got no mega moose out
0:46:13.520,0:46:18.880
there like you did but uh I don't know
0:46:16.359,0:46:21.920
I'll be probably taking my son out which
0:46:18.880,0:46:24.160
he'll he's 17 and he's definitely big
0:46:21.920,0:46:26.400
enough to be hunting on his own but I
0:46:24.160,0:46:28.960
might take the opportunity just to spend
0:46:26.400,0:46:31.400
another deer season hunting the same uh
0:46:28.960,0:46:33.040
same blind as my as my young and see if
0:46:31.400,0:46:34.400
I can't get another year in like that
0:46:33.040,0:46:36.599
there's only so many of those so I might
0:46:34.400,0:46:38.760
as well take advantage of it I guess
0:46:36.599,0:46:41.520
that's exactly right because because
0:46:38.760,0:46:44.160
he's uh he's like a lot of us were when
0:46:41.520,0:46:46.760
we're younger you got to pull him off
0:46:44.160,0:46:49.440
deer he everything that comes in looks
0:46:46.760,0:46:51.839
good to him he's ready to fill some
0:46:49.440,0:46:53.240
tags hey I remember those days and I
0:46:51.839,0:46:56.079
tell you what I think I had a lot more
0:46:53.240,0:46:58.280
fun hunting I tell hey I'm looking
0:46:56.079,0:47:01.800
forward to it like I said every deer
0:46:58.280,0:47:03.640
comes out he gets so excited and uh I'll
0:47:01.800,0:47:04.880
let him fill his buck tag on whatever he
0:47:03.640,0:47:06.720
wants and we're going to make sure he
0:47:04.880,0:47:08.000
feel several of these dough tags as well
0:47:06.720,0:47:09.800
so I'm looking forward to some deer
0:47:08.000,0:47:14.440
dragging here over the next few
0:47:09.800,0:47:16.200
days yeah I'm the same way I I went and
0:47:14.440,0:47:18.920
uh picked up another bow that I've had
0:47:16.200,0:47:21.200
for a few months that I I don't switch
0:47:18.920,0:47:22.520
bows midseason and now that got him
0:47:21.200,0:47:24.000
killed I'm looking forward to getting
0:47:22.520,0:47:26.359
back out there and shooting some do with
0:47:24.000,0:47:28.319
this new I got set up so yeah yeah get
0:47:26.359,0:47:31.359
you some least time in with that new bow
0:47:28.319,0:47:33.000
feel some do tags yeah that'd be uh
0:47:31.359,0:47:35.160
that's what I'm hoping for and then you
0:47:33.000,0:47:38.680
know just kind of looking forward to man
0:47:35.160,0:47:40.480
I'm even I've I've taken uh the last
0:47:38.680,0:47:42.079

0:47:48.040,0:47:51.960
about it now but what I always gun
0:47:50.319,0:47:53.680
season even when I didn't really care
0:47:51.960,0:47:55.520
about it it was still a big deal for me
0:47:53.680,0:47:57.160
because just having your buddies call
0:47:55.520,0:47:59.839
and getting to go see a bunch of deer
0:47:57.160,0:48:01.480

anybody killing big deer I want to go
0:48:01.480,0:48:07.000
see it you know so right yeah so there's
0:48:05.079,0:48:09.400
a lot of tradition with with rifle

0:48:16.160,0:48:20.200
kids out and stuff uh but you know I
0:48:18.720,0:48:22.160
might pick up a rifle a little bit this
0:48:20.200,0:48:24.440
season just take it out but definitely
0:48:22.160,0:48:26.559
