It’s like prime deer week, Yes, and I asked some time off. They’re starting to get back on their food patterns.

00:07:07
Speaker 1: Notice, no doubt a little second ruddy in west and like southwest. See where we’re at. Yeah, dude, I did this the other day, and we’ll get back to what you’re mad at so the Friday after Thanksgiving, I said, all day long, we’re never going to get back to what you mad at were. It’s gonna be deer from Yeah, okay, let’s just go ahead and do it. I’m mad at no rain because with the one year we become duck hunters. We talked to Jason this morning, same, we don’t. We don’t get any ring our duck hunters. Now, well we’ll see. Bro, look at us, we’re duck hunters now, I mean, where is it? Let me get it. If this doesn’t know, if this doesn’t say duck.

00:07:41
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he hit them with the hell how come you’re how come you’re double cuffing though, because I don’t know how to do it.

00:07:46
Speaker 2: I don’t have a strap, by the way, you don’t know hell no, ye damn See that’s what I wish I could do.

00:07:57
Speaker 1: Bro, Are you doing voot voot voot? Are you going? Why not? Keep it? So? Just show me how to do? Are you going? That’s justin King King calls that sounds really good. Are you going to give us a little walk through on how to do so? On the feed? Chuckle? Which I mean you had that. That’s all that’s all I can do. Yeah, you had the feet chuckle down, show me. I’m just saying, digging digga, diggad digg digger dig that’s what. Yeah, multiple times O take the best digg dig dig dig Yes, and you’re going that’s all. That’s awesome. Why is there that throwing a little quack here and there? What’s what’s your quack?

00:08:56
Speaker 4: Oh?

00:08:57
Speaker 1: So yeah, put you in the die? Yeah, so I don’t stop talking. Let him talk, dude. I don’t know, well, I don’t know how to U Like you’re trying to bring hot air from the back of your throat. I see people say that. I’m like, how do you bring cold air? How do you bring sold How? I would blow in the opposite in and then come around you want that? So so I can’t get the I’ve got to call my truck that I’m trying to be a duck hunt with. I can’t get the this the squid like the high pitch on that like you are man. So here’s the thing. Mine’s very low like wrank your’s.

00:09:47
Speaker 4: If you sit and listen to a thousand ducks, only one may do that.

00:09:52
Speaker 1: Maybe, yeah, same with turkeys, right, yeah, exactly.

00:09:55
Speaker 4: You know.

00:09:56
Speaker 2: So No, don’t compare that to turkeys, because I know turkeys. Now, what I’m saying, you’re trying to say right there. No, No, what I’m saying is, yeah, turkey’s tall.

00:10:06
Speaker 1: No. No, I’m saying if you throw, if you throw a mouthcall to all three of us, we’re not going to make the same mouthcall. It’s gonna be close. If you know it’s not. Yes, you make a different you make a different turkey sound. If you go out into the woods and listen to one hundred hen turkeys tackle and and and and call, they’re not all gonna sound and say I think they count just like just like a they don’t. Bro Uh. So what you’re saying is I can’t ever get a clear direction on duck calls because I I just feel like there’s it’s more complicated than hit it. Okay, so the good you have the feed trouble down, Quit doing that one, dude, that one, Yeah you have that one down? That one sound that one’s down yeah, okay, and then sounds mad because you’re blowing. What are you supposed to not blow? You’re supposed to.

00:11:12
Speaker 4: No, just try to get that Cayden said, So I feel like you’re blowing too hard. It’s all control it with with the middle of your tongue touching the roof of your mouth.

00:11:22
Speaker 2: Oh, nobody has everything in that. Oh they’re flaring, they’re flaring off that. Yeah, I know, I’m saying I don’t. I don’t know how to do it honestly, like handing somebody guitar and going play a g.

00:11:38
Speaker 1: Well, but here’s the thing.

00:11:40
Speaker 4: So for me, whenever I really started trying to learn a duck call, whenever I was first writing in town, I would just take a duck call because I have an hour ride by myself to get to Nashville, and I would just blow it constantly, always on YouTube.

00:11:56
Speaker 2: I get that. But what I don’t. But but it’s almost like maybe you’re just a feat chuckle guy or or a drake whistle guy. Everybody needs a drake. Yeah, I’m surprised you don’t have one of those. Well, I mean we’re not real dope hunters. I mean this is really like when we go with people.

00:12:12
Speaker 1: We go with people pretty a bit. They like have great spots. We just go. Don’t need to come with me this year where you go western? So do we? That’s where spots? Well, like the area. All right, we’re got. No, we’re more like, uh, north of Jacksonburg Iburg. You’re you’re dumb today, I’ve got I’m like lathered down with freaking medicine pretty much. Yes, I’m I’m barely here by the way. Gosh, whenever he got out of his truck, he was stumbling and there was everywhere. Don’t get close, that’s what he said. He said, don’t get close. I was like, God, here we go with COVID again. Dysburg, Diresburg is not Disburg, is more like northwest of Jackson A pretty good bit. I’m talking about, like what the west northwest? I think we’re dead north of Jackson. So you’re mad at not getting rain? Yes, I’m mad. I’m mad at you being directionally challenged. I’m just kidding.

00:13:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, we don’t have any water. I call our our brother in law today. I was like, what’s up on ducks? He’s like, dude, I just thought to read. I was liked what we didn’t even talk about it, but apparently there’s not been any rain and that’s the only way it fills up. And I was like, well, how much is it? Do you know how much it is to like rent a pump. Yeah, it’s a lot. Well, I mean like a tractor of pump. No, you can do yeah, I mean probably.

00:13:36
Speaker 1: Like two grand. You can get one for two grand, probably split that up. The only the only thing though, is you have to have some does your brother and all live there are? Another guy got they got a tractor there?

00:13:47
Speaker 4: Okay, I was gonna say, because I mean you have to fill it up with diesel.

00:13:51
Speaker 1: The tractor or the pump pump? Does pump? Oh? I got you got you got you? But yeah, I mean he’s like, you guys, are we really don’t? I mean, I mean, are you close to like the river? River? Yeah? I don’t know why. There’s probably a pump on site. I don’t know. The last guy is it Rice, I don’t know. We’re just kind of waiting for the phone call. You go, hey, ducks are here? Come on?

00:14:20
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get it. Are you leasing the place dude through the farmer?

00:14:25
Speaker 1: Yes?

00:14:26
Speaker 4: So normally on those deals it says you have to have water X amount of days before season?

00:14:32
Speaker 1: No way, Yeah, you call him? Yeah, okay, it’s probably.

00:14:37
Speaker 4: Every every every lease I’ve ever done, there’s been like that, like where’s your spot at?

00:14:42
Speaker 1: Well? So this Jackson yeah. So, I mean, actually I didn’t even get in a lease this year because I’ve been traveling so much. Yeah.

00:14:50
Speaker 4: Uh, and then as soon as the new year starts back up, I’m on shows again. So but if I get to hunt, you know, January, I’m pretty f from like January first until like middle of January. So I’m gonna hunt every day nice and then I’ve I’ve hunted three times this year duck hunting.

Speaker 4: Yeah? Well no, so that was that was last year, thank you? Uh yeah he was. He he wasn’t the biggest deer, like, uh, but last year I killed the double drop time deer, which is crazy because I mean crazy.

00:22:49
Speaker 1: He came off of public land. No way, you know, yeah, let’s go, let’s go. When I say he came off of public land, the little pizza slides down there off iron bridge.

00:23:04
Speaker 4: No no, no, no no, no, not for him, although I do put my boat in an iron bridge. They need to fix that boat ramp. That’s what I’m mad at. It’s pretty rough, it’s terrible. It just cuts.

00:23:18
Speaker 1: Actually, I am kind of hating all of a sudden, dude, it drops off, it does that, pisses. That’s what I’m mad at. Do you catch fish out of duck? Come on, what are you catching? This was two days ago. Two days ago we had a small mouth. You know when barble does this five four hammer, that’s a uh no.

00:23:52
Speaker 4: So I caught him on a spinner bait. And then also they love a little square bill crawlfish co a little little orange.

00:24:03
Speaker 1: So the tree tops or what do you think? I mean? Just bank fishing, spots, rock banks, yep, rock a lot of rock and I wish I wish I had time to go do that. I would do that right now. That sounds fun. It’s great, man. What boat are you running down there? Flat? Yeah? So low? Yeah, hooked me up.

00:24:20
Speaker 4: With a nice you’re a sponsored some god dud, dude, I’m blessed nice. Yeah yeah, because I mean, you know, it’s probably because you’re actually is.

00:24:31
Speaker 1: The real deal. I feel like yeah, I feel like uh because like naturally, I’ll post pictures like holding up that saw mouth and I’ll just tag low and I guess boat. Yeah yeah, so funny us. Yeah, they they hooked me up. Dude. I got a it’s a one fifteen eighty Mercury jet on it, baby reduces tunnel hole jet and uh.

00:24:54
Speaker 2: Hello, I’ll just take a I’ll hook you up.

00:24:59
Speaker 4: I’ll hook you up. But yeah, you run it up, run it down, which way you go both. I can literally run in three inches of water. What about the dam forward against it? I want it to happen me too. I think it’s stupid not to me too. So I actually went to those damn meetings, like dam meetings dam and you know it’s called damn now dot Yeah, Columbia dam now support it.

00:25:25
Speaker 1: I mean I’m for it. So here’s the thing.

00:25:27
Speaker 4: The alternate is they’re wanting to do a double pipeline that’s fifty four inches in diameter. That’s two of them from the Cumberland to Columbia.

00:25:36
Speaker 1: Cumberland’s grossed anyway.

00:25:37
Speaker 4: Well, on top of that, their main concern is because they don’t want to damn the Duck River and mess up all this like wildlife, right, I mean kind of well yes, but here’s that’s the argument for sure. That’s their argument. Well, they they’re talking about how they don’t want to destroy the Duck River and all the streams and all this. It would only take up like fifty miles of the Duck River. The Duck River is two hundred something miles. Yeah, dude, it’s not going to destroy it. There’s dams all over there.

00:26:09
Speaker 1: On top of that, and the recreation that it would bring in bro three hundred.

00:26:12
Speaker 4: Something million dollars a year. They’ve already bought the like that’s what. Yeah, No, more than that, Like I think it’s ninety percent. Yeah, so they’d have to buy another ten percent in order to Yep, they would have to buy don’t quote me on that. I think it’s around ten percent. But so their argument is they don’t want to destroy like this environment or this environment or whatever. The Duck River being well, the thing that I don’t think is registering is if they built the pipeline, it would have to go through like seventeen creeks for real. Yeah, like like so many unnamed.

00:26:47
Speaker 2: Streams, and it’s like twenty billion dollars or something crazy.

00:26:51
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it’s it’s over. It’s over a billion, I believe, and then the dam would be eight hundred something million.

00:26:58
Speaker 1: Geez. There is no like I love Williamsport, I love it, but you can’t it’s not a recreational spot like like that.

00:27:05
Speaker 2: Doesn’t bring commerce. I think you can do now you’ve got a like light lot dunk hunting. Yeah, thought about that.

00:27:11
Speaker 1: But the closest, the closest lake you can get to is Old Hickory. It ain’t nobody. I mean I used to drive up there and fish and leave at three o’clock in the morning. It was great. But like I think for the middle, like the southern middle part of the state would would utilize this this lake right there, so much, man, yeah, so much it.

00:27:29
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it would do so much good for you know, Colombia middimmunity.

00:27:35
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I agree. Yeah, it would like estimated it would bring in like three hundreds I think it was like three hundred and forty eight or three hundred and fifty two million. Ye.

00:27:44
Speaker 2: Man, yeah, I wish it would happen. I don’t know where they’re at. They’ll probably it would probably take forever to get it to move.

00:27:50
Speaker 1: But well, I mean, you know they built a dam already. Yeah, did they tear it down? Yeah?

00:27:55
Speaker 4: It was ninety eight percent complete, eight ninety eight percent complete, and they tore it down because of.

00:28:01
Speaker 1: The snail darterer. Yeah. Man, he can’t even meat that fish. That one will get your snail. I thought it was a snail snell darter. It’s a snail darter. Yeah, I thought it was a snail a little mental fish that each Oh I didn’t know that either.

00:28:15
Speaker 4: But then so like a couple of years after they tore it down, I could be very wrong on that. Well, either way, the snail darter is why they like put a halt on whatever it is.

00:28:23
Speaker 1: They tore it.

00:28:23
Speaker 4: They tore down this damn that they had ninety eight percent complete because of this snail dart or whatever it is.

00:28:29
Speaker 1: Uh. And then a couple of years later they said, oh, well we found him up in Kentucky now. And on top of that, the snail darter thrives in a damned environment.

00:28:40
Speaker 2: Damn damn. Yeah, I’m for it, dude, I am too. I can see me and Boone out there.

00:28:47
Speaker 1: That’s the one thing.

00:28:48
Speaker 2: Like eight years from now, seven eight years from now.

00:28:50
Speaker 1: You know, we lived in West Tennessee, grew up in Savannah, fifteen minutes from Pickwick. Are you googling snail daarder? Yeah? What is it? And well, I’m trying to tell but that’s the one thing I miss about like my and like I’ve got a little twenty acre lake behind my spot right there where where I live to flex and it’s it’s and it’s unbelievable. It is like we will go out there and catch fish, but it’s still not the same. Like it’s not like putting a boat in and ripping forty five minutes down down the you know, down the lake and going and catching fish and it’s just not that. And that’s what I miss And that’s what old Hickory provides. But there’s nothing else. There’s nothing else nowhere around where we’re at that has that. Yeah. Yeah, I wish they would. I wish they’d do it. I’m for it. I did too. Yeah.

00:29:31
Speaker 2: I think I might have seen you post something in there and I was like, hey, my dog’s in there. Yeah it is a man, That’s what I thought. Oh, and of much knowledge, I know SPS. I definitely know which way is more to this.

00:29:47
Speaker 5: Country, Welcome to I don’t know what the New Guy asks one question.

00:29:52
Speaker 1: That may or may not erase the entire show. Put your headphones on, absolutely no direction at all. This is New Guy Radio tuning out got ray. Hey, how crazy do we want to get to? Don Let’s get crazy one to ten. You get to pick craziness level. Let’s do nine. Oh geeesh Okay you sure about that? Yeah? All right. If Joey Roll sent you a pick, what would be your first thought?

00:30:23
Speaker 4: Gosh, I think I would first assess if it’s tatted up like he, there’d.

00:30:31
Speaker 1: Probably be a lot of extra skin. Oh god, right, expect Yeah, that’s what I’m wondering. What you think about man? I don’t know.

00:30:48
Speaker 4: Honestly, I think I would block him immediately immediately.

00:30:51
Speaker 1: You have his number right now, I don’t either. You have it. No, I don’t really know him.

00:30:57
Speaker 4: I will say, yeah, he seems like a great guy just shot his first buck with a buck, I know, campaign, campaign spreading the word.

00:31:04
Speaker 1: I don’t know cam though, I don’t either. I don’t know. Okay, I thought, y’all did I mean we kind of know everybody up to camp. Yeah? Uh no, I don’t know. Yeah. I think I would just block him, yeah, simple. I think I’d be like, Yo, well, yo, you’re working on another record. You got a co writes blackmail.

00:31:30
Speaker 4: Either my next yeah that’s a good call, my next song, your next single, or this is getting blasted.

00:31:36
Speaker 1: That’s the move.

00:31:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that’s great. Holy, okay, smoke.

00:31:43
Speaker 1: I want to see I want to know what ten is after the podcast.

00:31:46
Speaker 2: Tell me about Oklahoma. You shot a pig out there?

00:31:48
Speaker 1: I shot a pig and I shot a good deer, did you Yeah, I shot a real good deer. What y’all do with a pig? Uh? It’s actually getting shoulder mounted.

00:31:56
Speaker 4: Shoulder mounting, I shoulder mountain us Yeah, yeah, tusk and everything. He had probably three inch tusks?

00:32:03
Speaker 1: Is that good? I don’t know. I mean, I guess, I don’t know.

00:32:05
Speaker 4: I’m not really a pig export I know he’s stunk, really, Oh he smelled terrible and I shot him.

00:32:12
Speaker 1: With a gun. Uh. It was a two seventy short. You ever shot one of those?

00:32:17
Speaker 4: So the people that I was out there with the penses because I first morning, twenty minutes in, I shot the buck.

00:32:24
Speaker 1: I was after.

00:32:25
Speaker 4: Oh nice, And anyway, I shot the deer, and I was like, Dad, going, we’re out here.

00:32:30
Speaker 1: They’re great people. By the way, I killed. I killed a giant out there.

00:32:34
Speaker 5: You did.

00:32:34
Speaker 1: We killed a couple big deer out there. I learned sixty seven inches the split browse. Your kid, he’s crazy, crazy deer. I want to see it after. Uh. But yeah, So first morning shot the deer.

00:32:45
Speaker 4: I was after. And then we were there for like three and a half more days writing, and so I decided that I was going to take that. It was a Kimber to seventy short. I didn’t even know Kimber made rifle.

00:32:57
Speaker 1: I didn’t either.

00:32:58
Speaker 4: They’re unbelievable. Really, that’ll be my next purchase. Nice yeah, awesome.

00:33:01
Speaker 1: Uh. And those pigs out there ain’t playing due. There’s some giants.

00:33:05
Speaker 4: Dude, it’s unreal. They put me in this. They put me they said, hey, nobody really hunts this place because you know there’s so many pigs in there. You might see just giant deer. We don’t know. Yeah, And so I go in there. Ten minutes of me being in there, I hear what and dude, here comes this trotting out and I mean I just folded him and uh, well, so that was the first one.

00:33:29
Speaker 1: He was probably like one hundred and fifty pounds.

00:33:31
Speaker 4: And then the next day I went back out there and I saw this nasty old buck. His times were only about that long. But dude, the mask you just couldn’t wrap your hands around them. I love those, I know, like and this deer, I’ll show you. I took videos over. To me, it doesn’t matter what they got on their head. Bro, a seven year old, eight year old deer is a legend. Yeah in the woods. Well, and that’s one of the cool things about out there. They’ll they’ll be like, hey, we’re letting this one hundred and sixty inch deer walk because he’s four years old. Sure, but then you’ll shoot one hundred and forty inch six and a half year old.

00:34:07
Speaker 1: Yeah.

00:34:08
Speaker 4: To me, that is so cool because the older I get, I just love watching.

00:34:13
Speaker 1: Deer do deer things.

00:34:16
Speaker 4: And I just love taking my thermos hot cup of coffee sitting there just watching everything.

00:34:21
Speaker 1: It’s not even about to kill, you know. Don’t get me wrong, I love pulling the trigger.

00:34:26
Speaker 4: But yeah, and then so the next day I went out and I shot that two hundred and fifty pounds bore, same spot. And dude, what’s crazy is everybody said if you shoot a if you shoot a pig, like, try to shoot him towards the back that way he runs often dives. Yeah, because if a pig is laying dead in a field, deer won’t come out.

00:34:46
Speaker 1: Dude.

00:34:47
Speaker 4: It was like right there, pre rut and oh my gosh, probably y’all know how big an eight pointer has to be to be one hundred and fifty inch eight points. I saw a one hundred fifty inch eight pointer had him at thirty five yards.

00:35:03
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, you weren’t tagged that. No, I was already tagged, That’s what I mean. Yeah, but he was young, that’s the crazy thing.

00:35:11
Speaker 4: He was young. Yeah, and it was both season. I’m sitting there with a rifle shooting pigs.

00:35:15
Speaker 1: Yeah. Uh but yeah, so I shoulder mounted the pig. That’s awesome. Yeah, he’s at the text terermis right now. And then so I Euro Mountain.

00:35:23
Speaker 4: I’m euro Mountain, the eight pointer that I killed with a bow, and uh, I’m doing an Oklahoma license plate like platform behind him and then should her mount in the pig and it’s going to go right above my bar.

00:35:34
Speaker 1: Nice. Yeah, that’s awesome. Yeah, that’s awesome. I love Okahoma. In Kansas, I haven’t got to hunt. Uh, well, so I killed I killed my first rio in Kansas this year. Nice, But I haven’t deer hunted it yet. And I really am They’re everywhere, aren’t they? Turkeys? Dude, Yes they are.

00:35:52
Speaker 4: But whenever I went, I literally did not get close to killing a bird until the last ten minutes of my hunt.

00:36:01
Speaker 1: Really, it just happened. If you could rank your.

00:36:07
Speaker 2: Like what you’re the best at hunting wise one, two, three, what would be what would be your stuff like duck, deer, turkey, like best efficient?

00:36:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would say best at best at deer, I would say because I’m uh, I’m just a firm believer that like this deer that I had a new buck show up last night on camera to the end of season. I’m just gonna go after that one specific deer. I’m gonna hunt where I know or where I think he’s living. And I’m just persistence pays off. I believe patience that’s too.

00:36:52
Speaker 4: Yeah, patience, that’s the biggest thing for me. So I would say, I would say deer, deer, turkey, duck.

00:37:00
Speaker 1: Let me throw this that. I love asking people this question, and you’re a perfect candidate for it. You can hunt one one thing, one place, one time of the year, one day, one day, one more day.

00:37:13
Speaker 2: Like if you just clicked the button, we were immediately transported to that place and had an entire day to do it.

00:37:19
Speaker 1: Where would it be? One? It would be you have one more day to hunt? Where would what would you hunt? And where would you hunt? That’s different, dude, one more like I’m dying. Yeah, no, no, I don’t want to say that. No, no, no, I’m just saying if you if you like, yeah, just just your favorite perfect day, Yeah, your perfect day in the in the in the woods or the blind. Well, you’re not dying, Yeah, what would it be? Two different things? I would say, Like a dream hunt. I would say New Mexico with my Matthew’s bow in the rut of elk season. You’ve never got to never been elk hunting. Yeah, But the reason I say, go to at thirty six there everywhere. Yeah.

00:38:04
Speaker 4: See, I’ve only seen an elk one time in person, and that’s a dream hunt. I don’t want to go to Colorado because I’m a big dude. I’m not into walking like that. I don’t think I could walk like that. I mean, dude, A lot of those guys will walk twenty plus miles a day for sure, and the higher altitude.

00:38:21
Speaker 1: So I feel like New Mexico would do better.

00:38:23
Speaker 4: Uh, And I say compound bow, but let’s be real, if it was rifle season, I wouldn’t be taking a bow.

00:38:30
Speaker 1: I’d be taking a rifle. Oh yeah, whatever you.

00:38:32
Speaker 4: Can do to your yeah, yeah, uh, but yeah, I would say that. And then also, like the second part of that question, when I thought I was dying, I would say that. Yeah, I would say dramatic Alaska with a compound.

00:38:49
Speaker 1: Bow trying to kill a grizzly. You’re a bow guy. You’re a big bow guy. I love bo hunt me too, man, I love it. But then again, what are you shooting? What boat you shooting? Well, right now I have the face for Matthews. Uh, and I just switched broadheads. I was shooting shwackers. Now I went to those mega meats. Oh the g threes, Yes, yeah, they’re disgusting. Dude, deer right here. I brought summer sausage. By the way. Let’s let’s get it going.

00:39:16
Speaker 4: Yeah, so that deer came from the megas crackers. Oh, let’s go a little show to crackers.

00:39:24
Speaker 1: That is. That’s a great kid. That’s a good, good kid. But hang it all, you just hey, hey, hey, hey, I got it. I got one clean ish. That’s just let’s just lent. You didn’t got it. When’s the last time you got a deer with this?

00:39:43
Speaker 4: I know that I cleaned it since I go to the deer and when I say cleaned it, I sprayed it off with hot water or cold water.

00:39:52
Speaker 1: We just we just did the New Mexico thing with rifles and killed two bulls smelling Wait, are you serious, like like a three weeks ago? Uh, y’all both killed bulls. Yeah. I shot mine. Shout out Monday, shout out Graham Sky Service. He’s the man shot mine the Monday morning at six, caught the stomach bug at nine, and stayed in. This guy stays, it sounds like I need to stay away from it. Sure does, but I can. I’ll tell you this I cannot imagine. I cannot imagine being where I was with a rifle and watching those bulls and having a bow in my hand and having to sit behind a fur and call him up the ridge to us. I can’t imagine him screaming coming into us. How far was the bull that you shot? Like? Four fifty? What? What? Oh? What uh? What’d you shooting with us? I think it was a seven It was a It was a seven mag short, so it was unbelievable. Gun works, gun unbelievable. Are y’all are y’all big long range guys. Hell No, I’m a bow hunter. I love bow hunt.

00:40:54
Speaker 2: I love I mean, I was like, I think I’m coming into knowing how to be pretty proficient with a rifle, which is crazy to say because everybody thinks that you just point a gun and pull the trigger, which is as you get older, you know.

00:41:07
Speaker 1: It’s not true. Yeah, it’s not. There’s a little bit more to it than that, especially when you get into the long range thing. But I think I think recently, I’m I’m coming into how to hunt. How I appreciate it. But you touched that a whole lot, Yeah, well whole lot. You’re the one that’s sick and he’s not, no doubt. How am I supposed to not touch it? I’m cutting it, thank you, by the way, but maybe lay off the fingers.

00:41:30
Speaker 2: Of no doubt, you know what I mean? Like, it’s not I think people that don’t hunt think we just take a rifle and it’s just automatic and it’s not. Dude goes automatically right to him.

00:41:46
Speaker 1: Yeah, like automatic, absolutely, Yeah, ballistics is not a thing. Cheers, cheers, here’s absolutely with all. Huh that’s hot? Why she no? Like? Oh hot?

00:42:08
Speaker 2: As an amazing bro That is unbelievable. That’s unbelievable. Now, guy, I’m a sausag I’m a get out here news. Wait me, give me, give me a minute. I’m a summer sausage freak. I love is fine. I love Calipinion cheese and them. Yep, that’s some of the best I’ve ever had. That is the best summer sausage I’ve ever had.

00:42:30
Speaker 1: It’s so it’s so tender.

00:42:33
Speaker 4: Yeah, that’s my shot. A shot a dough back in both shout them out where they at?

00:42:38
Speaker 1: Who is this guy? All American meat processing? Uh?

00:42:42
Speaker 4: And I think it’s minor hill. It’s over towards PULASKI. Hey, they have brots get out here. They even do deer bacon.

00:42:51
Speaker 1: How is that possible? I don’t know. Now, guy, have you ever had venison before? I mean, yeah, it’s actually how do you feel about sausage? Like sipo and cheese and it just give us by in front of just get to turn to the camera, give us by. Yeah, at whichever one you know, you know the one that if you puke right now, it’s gonna be amazing, amazing, amazing. Guy, got there, we go, there we go. Man, new guy, he’s on his way. Dude, Yeah, he’s gonna actually, you guys gonna start. If you leave us will kill you. He’s gonna start his own podcast. It’s gonna be way better. What if New Gut Race started an outdoor podcast and like doesn’t hunt, but it was better than my wouldn’t take much guy Pat Shane on what if Shane started a podcast? I’m the host, I were host, and I asked got to be the first guest. Oh, it’s getting whole time. He might go around to you. He fondled that one. Guy.

00:43:49
Speaker 2: Dude, I didn’t. I didn’t, dude. I’m doing all I can do over here. Without cutting.

00:43:53
Speaker 4: But that’s crazy, dude, that’s crazy. So speaking of seven’s, uh what when were talking about seven? Well he was talking about oh yeah seven short.

00:44:03
Speaker 1: Uh.

00:44:04
Speaker 4: So I that drop time deer that I killed last year. I called him turkey foot and he stopped showing up. Literally the it was like halfway through bo season he stopped showing up.

00:44:18
Speaker 2: I’m sorry, I can’t look at these practice anymore without things base.

00:44:21
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, what at a little chowd uh So anyways, he stopped showing up. Back to the like persistence and patience thing. He completely stopped showing up. I’m surrounded by public lan all the way right, So when I say that that deer came off public, I didn’t shoot him on public. I have a pinch point that has bed in area all the way around it. The republic killer set up and they come out. It’s U picked corn top some winter week. All those deer when when people come in from the public, they bumped the deer to me, beautiful.

00:45:01
Speaker 1: What time of the kill him?

00:45:03
Speaker 4: I shot him second week of rifleh the the double dropped conder last year. I shot him with a seven millimeter PRC. Oh yeah, at three hundred and ninety six yards. So they all know what a seven PRC is. That it’s the fastest round made. Right now, what I’ve found with deer is that removed.

00:45:27
Speaker 1: Or huh, actly improved or just regular? What do you mean? The one we shot was actly improved.

00:45:32
Speaker 4: Oh, I don’t even know what that means. I don’t even know what that means. It’s a Christiansen seven PRC. I don’t know if that matters. Uh, But that bullet is traveling so fast. When I shot that dropped tunder. He bucked, but there was no blood, no fur, no nothing. And I looked hard, and I was like, what in the hell I knew I hit him.

00:45:53
Speaker 1: The same problem with six five and that’s a long shot, dude, that’s a long shot. Same problem with six y five. Yeah, Like they shoot so fast. Yeah, they shoot so fast that there’s no blood trail. Well. So in January, that’s when I really stuck up on my deer meat, you know, uh. And so I went out. I was like, I’m gonna shoot some dose with this thing, because I mean I can sit in any field and pretty much and range. Yeah.

00:46:17
Speaker 4: So I went out, I shot me, and my dad was shot five deer one afternoon with that gun. Most of them dropped in their tracks. One of them took off running and I knew, I knew I hit this deer. No blood, no nothing, ran eighty yards, piled up that dropped time deer ran probably fifty and piled up.

00:46:36
Speaker 1: No blood, no blood.

00:46:37
Speaker 4: I don’t know what it is, dude, I And I mean, here’s the thing like that. I killed a really good deer this year too. He was twenty one inches wide, eight pointer. He was actually a nine, but he was the deer in back. Yeah, it’s a big deer. And that was my first morning ever hunting this new property, first morning ever.

00:46:58
Speaker 1: That’s awesome.

00:46:59
Speaker 4: I went that evening before and I saw him, and I knew it was a good deer. But it was right at darner. I couldn’t tell how good with a forty five to seventy that’s my brush gun. And so I went back the next morning at about eight o’clock. I hit the grunt call because he was following a dough that he like early November November. This was late November. Yeah, I mean you’re grunting, I would assume it.

00:47:23
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was. Yeah, it was like I think opening week of rifle they made a week after. That’s money.

00:47:30
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, I think it was week after actually. So anyway, I hear it over to my right and I look there he is at forty yards. It’s just steady walking looking for that buck that grunted at it. This is about ten minutes after I hit the grunt. He’s walking. I stopped him. Man, I had the hammer cocked on a single shot forty five seventy. I had to hammer cocked on it and his shoulder, and really and truly the only thing that was in sight was his his butt and his head. His booty, yeah, his boot his bomb, And so I knew I was like shoot. And then he went to like kind of trotting a little bit because he was at forty yards. I think it kind of spooked him. And I went right right. He wouldn’t stop, and I went, hey, he threw his head up. Come boom, dude, that deer with that forty five seventy. When I pulled the trigger, he reared up on his back legs and I thought he was gonna fall backwards. Wow, he reared up so high it took him a second to like catch his bearings and lean forward. Horse bucked. Yeah, exactly, but like it was like slow motion, like he went up and then like he was kicking, and then he went back down and then he just went to digging. You know when a deer’s hurt real bad, how his head will drop and he’ll be run through the brush.

00:48:44
Speaker 1: Yep, Dude, I went over there. I couldn’t find a speck of blood. I was like, what in the world. Well, so I’m down there.

00:48:50
Speaker 4: Tracking him where I’m trying to find first blood for anything, and uh, dude, this is what screwed me up. So I was sitting here as soon as I get down, I’m over there looking for blood, and then I hear barr and here comes a dough barreling fifteen yards across across this logging road from me. I’m hunting thick thick woods dough big buck right behind her, I mean right there, fifteen.

00:49:16
Speaker 1: Yards from where I’m side here in it.

00:49:19
Speaker 4: And I had my gun leaned up against the tree because I just shot this deer, and I’m like, what in the hell? Well, that’s completely puzzled me. I was like, I because I couldn’t tell if that was him or not. And uh so I thought it was. They came from the same.

00:49:33
Speaker 1: Way that that that other buck came for. I miss was on.

00:49:39
Speaker 4: So I looked for two and a half hours, trying to find blood, trying to find fur, anything I knew I hit the deer. I called my buddy and uh he was he was off of work, and he was like, man, you just need a fresh set of eyes. Like that deer coming out got you puzzled, got you turned around. So I go and I get my buddy and I come back and we just start looking for a drop of blood, spec of for anything. We can’t find nothing. We start grid serching two hours nothing. I’m like, well, I’m gonna go the way that the deer came from. Just thick it over to my right where he came from, because I’ve always heard if you shoot a deer, he’ll circle around.

00:50:21
Speaker 1: Yeah, it’s a great it’s a great, great tip for the hunters out there. If there’s no blood trail and you’re trying to find a deer, he apprey, sure you hit him, give him some time, and then backtracked where he came from. Yeah, the same trail.

00:50:30
Speaker 4: Ye exactly. So I just I was like, I know I didn’t see him go this way because I watched him after I shot him, he ran behind me right and so I circled you. No, like so he if I’m sitting right here, I watched him come up this way. Uh, whenever I shot him, he ran this way, gotcha double back? Yeah, yeah, exactly, ran towards where I walked in from. And so we were zigzagging all the way the woods back behind me the way that.

00:50:59
Speaker 1: I saw him go.

00:51:01
Speaker 4: And so we’re four and a half five hours in looking and I was just early morning.

00:51:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I shot him at eight fifteen. Okay, so you had all day to look. Yeah, this at this point it’s literally like two o’clock.

00:51:13
Speaker 2: That’s tough. That’s tough sledding right there, dude, I was sweating. I’m feeling good.

00:51:21
Speaker 4: So I go back to where he came from originally walk in forty yards area is no way. I have no idea how he got where he was.

00:51:30
Speaker 1: Where did you hit him?

00:51:32
Speaker 4: So he was quartering to me when I stopped him that second time. I put it right there, like right there on his shoulder. It went in, Yeah, it went in right there, center punched the shoulder, came out right behind the other shoulder. Perfect shot. Have no idea. Whenever I picked the deer up, you could hear the like the you know, lung shit.

00:51:52
Speaker 1: He messed him up. Yeah, yeah, I have no idea how there was no blood. Forty five seventy is a big bullet, baby. Yeah.

00:52:01
Speaker 2: You know some places that gun’s legal for muzzleloader, like in Mississippi during muzzle orter seas and you can hunt with a forty five to seventy.

00:52:09
Speaker 1: Hey, you want to do a little, uh, quick your snack right quick before we get into some music stuff.

Speaker 1: I’ll get these ready, okay, Hey, no tell us uh, tell us your give us the short version of your your side of the story on the Hearty deer cleaning. Oh yeah, so, uh, we had Hardy on a couple of months ago. This is the same morning we were driving in got cheese on your We were we were driving in on sixty five. My wife sends us a text while voice text while she’s driving. She’s ahead of us. We’re coming to podcasts with Hardy. She’s like, Hey, pretty sure, I just saw a deer feeder on the side of sixty five. Yeah, And we found out and we drove up and we almost died getting a boss buck off the side of sixty five. Yeah. So, anyway, that we podcast with Hardy, he told a story about you helping him skin a deer, gut a deer, process a deer something. Yeah.

00:53:36

Speaker 1: Yeah and show big. Yeah, I love trying to find artifacts to Oh I’m big into it. Anything down around us. Yes, really he had.

00:53:55
Speaker 4: He had ended up getting my number and we had talked a little bit, sent trail camp pictures back and forth, and U he’s a real life hunter.

00:54:02
Speaker 1: Yeah he is.

00:54:03
Speaker 4: And he texted me and I was I was hunting too, and my phone had died. And he texted me this picture of this big six pointer sitting in front of him and said should I with a question mark?

00:54:15
Speaker 1: And I didn’t.

00:54:16
Speaker 4: I didn’t reply until I got back to my truck after dark and plunged my phone in and I saw the text and I was like, I hope you did. Next picture he sent, he’s laying on the ground, and so he ended up like I didn’t hear nothing. I was like, congrats, dude, that’s a great buck. Well, so fast forward. I get home and I’m sitting there with Chloe, my fiance. She made a bolog knaze. It was the night we were decorating our Christmas tree. Every time she does that, she makes a bowl of knaze, right yeah, And so we’re sitting there eating and I had my phone sitting there.

00:54:53
Speaker 1: I love that. You call it a bowlegg naze, and that’s what it’s called. I think it’s boloonnaise, but the redneck version is bowleg. I thought little bow leg myself. Yeah, eat enough of it in there, dude, What what the hell are you eating. All right, Look, we get hated on a lot. Remember the story. We do it, back to it, we do it. Yeah, I’ll try it. I’m telling you, I’ll try anything. I’m telling you. I get hated on him. That’s my that’s my throwback. Poor poor Man’s cheesecake. Talk to me. You deserve to get picked on for that. You don’t like it. You know he’s gonna take the cookie that I’m gonna take the cookie. Not your bag, hunt my bag. I thought you go for it, but you know what, I’m gonna throw this on this.

00:55:38
Speaker 4: So we we’re sitting there eating our bowlog knaes and I had got up to drink or something, just walking like this. Yeah, I have my phone sitting on table and I have him in my contact with Michael Hardy. She’s like, Michael Hardy is calling you. And I answered it and he was like, hey, uh, do you know how to cape out of deer? I was like yo, And so he was like, have you got somewhere you can tow me how to keep this thing out? And I was like, yeah, of course, just bring it on by. So this is the most redneck thing anytime I kill a deer in my in my big I’ve got a big shop over by my house. I’ll throw a toastrap through the metal raft or whatever it is.

00:56:18
Speaker 1: It’s so rich. I ain’t rich. I wish I was. I wish I was. I need some of them number ones. Y’all got what I need? You got them coming. Well.

00:56:29
Speaker 4: I got a good deal on this thank so life hack. Like, I’m right there close to Williamson County, but I came across to Murray County and it dropped dramatically.

00:56:38
Speaker 1: Yeah, I’m about four hundred yards from Limason County. I was like, no, I take the other side of it.

00:56:45
Speaker 4: So I throw the toe strap to the rafter and then I’ll get my zero turned and I’ll lift the deer. I’ll tie it on the opposite end of the toastrap, lift the deer with one end.

00:56:56
Speaker 1: Go with you, one of us, bro, one of you. We have done.

00:57:00
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, it’s it’s genius and so easy. I mean, where you don’t have to bend over to cape it out?

00:57:06
Speaker 1: And are you done it? Yeah?

00:57:08
Speaker 4: He’s there exactly. I showed him how to cape it out. He was like, uh, you know a processor.

00:57:13
Speaker 1: I was like yeah.

00:57:14
Speaker 4: I was like, and I also know a guy that could use it. Dear meat, I got a guy down in Columbia that I’ll hook him up with five or sixty.

00:57:20
Speaker 1: AR a year. Awesome. Oh wow, I need his number because I need to take about ten those on my plate.

00:57:24
Speaker 4: That’s what I’m about to do. I’m about to start thinning them out. And uh So, anyway, he was like, yeah, if you don’t care, we’ll we’ll take it over there.

00:57:30
Speaker 1: So we’re in.

00:57:32
Speaker 4: It’s the hood, just the nicest way possible, back behind the courthouse. Oh yeah, oh yeah, And uh we we go over there. We’re in, you know, a big lifted, brand new Camo wrap truck. At this point, it’s like eleven o’clock at night on a Tuesday or whatever.

00:57:49
Speaker 1: That’s Hardy’s truck. That’s Hardy. Yeah.

00:57:53
Speaker 4: And uh so we get there and it’s one of those places where like they see some white boys pull up everybody. He’s coming out to somebody like what the hell’s going on?

00:58:03
Speaker 1: Yeah?

00:58:03
Speaker 4: So we did, and like we drop a tailgate and the tailgate’s like up to here on me. I mean, this thing’s got like a twelve inch left on it. And he’s like, we’ll just throw this. We’ll throw this mug in the back of the truck right here, and so, dude, I mean, it’s it’s unbelievable. He’ll he’ll just leave him out overnight and then whenever he gets to it, he’ll get to it. It’s the same guy that I take him the stuff we shoot bowfishing, and he’s like, you ever shoot any carp or drum?

00:58:30
Speaker 1: I’m like yeah. He’s like, want you throw them carp in there? Bring them to me?

00:58:34
Speaker 4: Hey, So I bring him a barrel of carp This was a couple of years ago. I bring him a barrel of carp right, I’m like, what do you do with these nash things?

00:58:43
Speaker 1: Anyway?

00:58:44
Speaker 4: He’s like, come here, I’ll show you. He had a two by six, lay it on the back of his truck. He would put the nail through the tail of that carp and he had his fingernails about that long. What no against the scales and dude underneath his fingernails or bleeding and stuff. And he’s like, you scale them like this, throw them in that pressure cooker.

00:59:05
Speaker 1: It’s like the bones in all he said.

00:59:10
Speaker 4: He said the pressure cooker, like, I guess it compacts everything. He said, you cook it in the pressure cooker. You eat bones and all and make salmon Patty’s at a carp But wow, some red neck stuff, dude.

00:59:24
Speaker 1: I love that. That’s some deep South right there, just straight into the pressure cooker with a car. Yeah.

00:59:30
Speaker 2: I love the eyes and all. Mean he got at them, yeah, and then just through them.

00:59:34
Speaker 1: I think he got at them. I don’t know. Head, Yeah, hang around for that. Ye got the car?

00:59:41
Speaker 5: Man?

00:59:41
Speaker 1: That’s crazy, man. I mean I hate to say it, but man, there’s some doze in mind. Please need to go. I mean, why do you hate to say it? You’re about fourteen fifteen years old? You know what I mean? Oh my god? I mean they look like they’re like two hundred pounds.

00:59:53
Speaker 4: Yeah you got to Yeah, I’ve got some. So they’re getting back onto what food patterns?

00:59:59
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yes, I saw fourteen dos. Do you like shooting them late season or you like early season? Does I like late season? Man?

01:00:06
Speaker 4: Which you know I’ve thought about shooting them early season. I killed one in in both season just because I wanted to meet.

01:00:13
Speaker 1: But I don’t know. I think I think late season probably there’s a there’s an argument there, there’s one. They’re definitely they’re more fatty, they’re more meaty late season.

01:00:28
Speaker 2: I think they’re easier to deal with when it’s cold. Yeah, yeah, that’s why. But they’re also you’re also getting into those that have been bred.

01:00:35
Speaker 1: Yeah exactly.

01:00:36
Speaker 2: Okay, well the same do is gonna I mean, whether you take the deer early season or late season, either way, you’re taking a deer that’s gonna be that’s gonna sirrus.

01:00:42
Speaker 5: Yeah.

01:00:43
Speaker 1: But I mean if you had but you, but you, But if you kill them early season, they don’t have the chance to get bread, So you’re not You’re not killing a dough that has that is going to have yearlings next summer.

01:00:53
Speaker 2: That deer is gonna have yearlings either way. How what if you shoot the deer early season, you’re basically it’s the same thing as shooting the deer la season. It’s not going to have a fall either way.

01:01:06
Speaker 1: Yes, but but you’re but you’re killing it going to have falls. Yeah, same thing. If you kill it early season, you’re killing it. They’re gonna bread another deal, don’t take you understand bread. They’re going to breed another dough. That dough is going to have a fall correct in the fall, and it gets bred. Yes, okay, so if you kill it early season, you don’t kill the phone.

01:01:28
Speaker 4: No, I’m saying, all right, so a buck, a buck is not going to breed twenty five different dos right, No, I mean.

01:01:37
Speaker 2: The buck’s gonna breid as many but dozes as he can breed. Correct, But I’m receptive. I’m just saying, if you, if I.

01:01:43
Speaker 4: Go out in January and I shoot five doors, if my if my biggest deer on my farm has bred, we’ll see that those five Now I get that, yeah, but there’s no way to know whether that biggest here is. So essentially, when you take a dough, you’re taking that dose possible fawn regardless of what time.

01:02:02
Speaker 5: You know.

01:02:02
Speaker 1: What I’m saying is though, here here’s why one we got to talk about music, is you’re going if you’re killing those early season, that buck’s going to breed another dough and that do is going to have fun instead of her, instead of instead of the dough you killed. Obviously, So you’re not you’re not taking out falls off out of your herd by killing deer, by killing doe’s early season, because that big buck is going to breed another dough that will, in turn, you will kill jall that will in turn have fun also, will you shoot it?

01:02:28
Speaker 4: Will you shoot granted in late season, you know, the fauns will be obviously big enough to thrive on their own.

01:02:36
Speaker 1: Yeah.

01:02:37
Speaker 4: Will you shoot a big, big mature dough if she has a yearling?

01:02:41
Speaker 2: See, I’ve heard two arguments. The first argument I’ve heard is that if you are to take an old dough, Yeah, the possibility of those phones staying on the ground that you shot her on. Yes, this essentially not ninety percent. Yeah, what they’ll stay because they’re familiar and they won’t. No, they will the males, males, males won’t you know, does kick off their phones?

01:03:08
Speaker 1: Right? Yeah, late October or whatever early, no member to get in order for the to be bred again, right, Yeah, So when that happens, those some of a lot of those phones are trying to find their space in the world. Right.

01:03:23
Speaker 2: Well, if that mother is gone, then they grow up there as a from fallon to mature dough or mature buck. They’re familiar with that area, They’re more likely to stay there.

01:03:35
Speaker 1: Interesting the the opposing thought and the bucks the bucks will the bucks The bucks are the ones like the button bucks or the young bucks. The youngion bucks are the ones that will if their mom is still around just out of a natural you know, the natural way things roll, those bucks will leave to to get rid of Inbrady. So like those those bucks will not stay on the same property as their mother because they do not. They won’t. They don’t want to in bread, which is like the natural process of a deer. It’s weird. But if you kind of if you killed the mom the dough and that dough is not on your farm anymore, it will keep that button buck on that farm. Yeah, for the rate.

01:04:12
Speaker 2: It’s like, I’ll be honest, I haven’t put thought into that rates crazy how much they’ll stay. The opposing thought is it’s kind of like and I guess this would kind of be like a cattle question, like a cattle guy question, essentially, is that there’s there’s like positives to keeping dose who have sired kids falls, you know, and like obviously once an animal has had a fall, or once a dough has had a fall, it makes the next two and three and four times easier because they know how, they know how, you know, as opposed to just a bunch of new does trying to figure out how to have kids, which a lot can go wrong there, you know. So there’s arguments for both. Alod, you’re saying kids, sorry, yeah, we’ll probably have to cut this whole thing out. It’s a little slaughtery. But you know what I’m saying, it’s like, uh, I mean there’s a and that’s the thing with I’ve heard arguments. I’ve heard so many arguments on going both ways. Shot season and shoot them late season, shoot them when they when they’ve the ones to take, or the old ones wants to take her the younger ones.

01:05:11
Speaker 1: I think I don’t think there’s a right answer. I think you just take. Yeah. Yeah, I’ve seen Bamby too many times, so I.

01:05:19
Speaker 5: Don’t.

01:05:19
Speaker 1: I don’t shoot mamas with yearlings. I don’t shoot mamas with you. No, I won’t do it. If a dough walks out with a yearlings, she’s off limits. Both of them are.

01:05:29
Speaker 2: I mean, I don’t shoot those because I haven’t had time to shoot those and deal with them. Yeah, when you got three kids, it’s just like oh yeah, But I do love.

01:05:36
Speaker 1: Shooting does right before the rut when they’re kicking them off and and like trying to trying to go out and and uh get bread, Like I love shooting. Well, what I’m saying is like right now, I saw it yesterday, Like you will have a full grown dough, but you will also have a significantly smaller dough or button buck or whatever. Yeah.

01:05:56
Speaker 4: Yeah, but granted you know that they’re old enough to make it on them own.

01:06:00
Speaker 1: Yeah, So would you still not shoot it? I would? I would too. Yeah. If I think that that’s his mama, I won’t do it. That’s a weird thing for me, just me personally. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with y’all shooting them at all. Yeah, that’s interesting. I don’t know. Man.

01:06:19
Speaker 2: Then and then you talk to my old cats and they’re like, no, man, give me a year.

01:06:22
Speaker 1: And that’s what I want. I want to, sweet mate, shoot him in the face and save everything. Save it that way.

01:06:28
Speaker 2: I’m gonna have a neckro shooting coin eyes. Yeah, I mean, and I’m gonna be honest. I’ve had young though, and it’s good. It’s like it’s a lot better, unbelievable. It’s so good. I think as I get like older, I’m just gonna start shooting little ones.

01:06:43
Speaker 1: Nice. I think, I am, dude. I think on my way pretty serious. That’s serious.

01:06:47
Speaker 2: I mean, as far as eaters go, there is a I would venture to say an eighty percent difference in a young dough than an old buck.

01:06:58
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially are strictly especially you’re strictly talking about for eating purposes, not management purposes, totally eating purposes. But I don’t know that it hurts management purpose.

01:07:10
Speaker 4: Do you eat deer year round? I mean only only deer, No like ground beef?

01:07:15
Speaker 1: Oh no. No.

01:07:17
Speaker 2: We got like a big old fat steak for sure, Yeah, cow steak, you know, But I do eat We had a rebbut last night we used to eat a lot of deer. I messed it up, dude, I probably told this on the story on the podcast before.

01:07:27
Speaker 1: We have not talked a look about music.

01:07:30
Speaker 2: Uh, but my wife is pregnant. And I killed this old ruddy milder in South Dakota. It was straight sage rut meal deer. And then I had a dough from Kentucky that I had ground in the in the meat and made talk. We were making talk to this at night, and I saw a pack of that old buck steak and I cut it into like strips and did like kind of a heat ish stuff. And I had a bowl of the ground meat Kentucky dough. And then I had a like a plate of steak strips and they looked great, dude, but she was pregnant and she popped one of those little strips in and she started like gagging and crying and throwing up and screaming at me over and screaming at me at the same time.

01:08:12
Speaker 1: Why would you? Why would you do this?

01:08:14
Speaker 5: This guy?

01:08:14
Speaker 1: I was like, well, babe, you can’t. I didn’t stick in your mouth. You won’t buy pop the thing. Yeah, it looks so good, but it’s so disgusting.

01:08:21
Speaker 2: And dude, it has been. It’s been tough ever since. She’ll eat elk, she’ll eat turkey. But man, dear, ain’t it ain’t it ain’t cutting it no more.

01:08:29
Speaker 4: Man, you need all right, you need to let me give you a pack of these brots from the same company.

01:08:35
Speaker 1: This guy’s kicking. He’s rocking, dud, Dude, Chloe doesn’t eat wild game at all. Yeah.

01:08:41
Speaker 4: I made brots on the Blackstone, Florida, gotcha, Orlando. I made deer brons with like or sliced onions and peppers and then coasted the bun and then we had brots. Well, I didn’t think to tell her.

01:08:59
Speaker 1: That it was here.

01:09:01
Speaker 4: She took a bite She was like, these are the best bras I’ve ever had. There you go and I was like, you’re not gonna believe this. This is deer meat. And she was like, are you serious?

01:09:10
Speaker 1: I said yeah, And she said, however much you got this time, get double next.

01:09:14
Speaker 2: Yeah. The word of the wise. If your wife becomes pregnant, don’t try some don’t give her a seven year old ready?

01:09:23
Speaker 1: Butt?

01:09:24
Speaker 4: Hey, I like a Mississippi pop. I got one in the crock pot right now?

01:09:28
Speaker 1: Yeah? Man, all right, let’s get into it for a second. All right, do you have a ride at eleven? Okay, so a few years ago, you’re mowing ditches, Yeah, in Columbia, singing at puckets.

What what does that put that into a thing for us? Man? What does that feel like for you? A bit of a jump, Yeah, it’s a big jump.

01:10:07
Speaker 4: I was so like, like you said, I was the guy that cut the grass in the meetings of the road, I was making twelve dollars an hour.

01:10:14
Speaker 1: I’m still brokesh.

01:10:15
Speaker 4: But I love what I do now yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I love what I do.

01:10:19
Speaker 1: Uh.

01:10:19
Speaker 4: And but on a serious note, like I never I never thought that like that was in any of the playing cards. I never thought, like an artist career you made, yeah, well even a songwriting career like I because once I, once I got into the music scene, I just wanted to be a songwriter first, and I signed a publishing deal.

01:10:42
Speaker 1: Uh.

01:10:43
Speaker 4: And then literally I went out on tour with with Chris Jansen and on that that was my first ever tour ever. And on that tour, the night we played the Rhyme and the day before I had a meeting with Big Machine and they asked if I had come in for this meeting, and I went in and talked to him and it was one of those things where I just wanted to be a songwriter and they they were like, hey, we really think you should take this meeting. And I went in, had a great meeting. Well, the next night we were playing the Rhymen, so Scott board Shadow asked, he was like, hey, have you got a couple of tickets you could spare.

01:11:20
Speaker 1: I O were here thinking.

01:11:21
Speaker 4: Hell, yeah, you know, of course, but I only got four cop tickets, so my mom, my dad, and then two to scott Board Shadow. So my mom was sitting there sobbing, watching her baby boy. That was cutting grass two months ago, you know, up on the Rhymen stage. I got two Standino’s that night, just me and my guitar.

01:11:43
Speaker 1: And what’d you play? Oh? Well, what do you mean? What songs you play? Oh? Gosh?

01:11:48
Speaker 4: So I wrote a song called good Luck in God, talking about the difference good luck in God and kind of the transformation between, you know, going from cutting grass to being up.

01:12:00
Speaker 1: On the Rhymen stage that night, and uh, I played a bunch of originals. I played some Hank JR. What’s your What’s what’s your go to? Hank Junior?

01:14:54
Speaker 1: Wow. So you played the rhymes. Scott Scotty Shedda comes up. He’s like, I gotta have you.

We’ve seen you’ve You’ve played the same pawn shop guitar since since you started. He handed me this brand new Gifson case and I was like, oh my gosh, dude, I’m crying at this point.

So I opened up the guitar case, you know right there. He’s like, go on, open it up. So I opened it up and it’s a J two hundred. And I didn’t know this until he told me. I automatically knew it was like a special like addition, had pearl in the fret.

They had a J fifty five up at the top like locked, and I was I asked the guy, I was like, hey, can I look at that? He was like, have you got intentions on buying it? And I was like, well, yeah, I’m not just trying anymore. Yeah, And so this was the most baller thing I’ve ever done in my life. But it was because Delta had So he goes, gets this ladder, climbs up there, unlocks it, hands it to me.

01:17:40
Speaker 1: Bridge nice, it’s sweet. Pretty, Yeah, it’s pretty. What do you? Uh, man, what do you? What do you? What are you trying to get out of this journey? The shame prophet artist playing shows, writing songs, journey years right now? Man, where do you see it going? So? Man, that’s kind of a loaded question.

01:18:00
Speaker 4: So I think for me, I want to have a stable career doing this. I don’t want this to be like, you know, I’m and I’m super blessed. I had how it ought to be my first ever song that went to radio, made top fifteen, it got to fourteen on the chart, and now we have a song in the top fifty at radio right now, long lived country. But I don’t want it to be like it’s by the way, thank you. I don’t want it to be one of those things where like they’re like, oh, that’s the dude that had the top twenty that time.

01:18:30
Speaker 1: Yeah. I don’t want it to be like that. Yeah. And I think for me, like I’m.

01:18:36
Speaker 4: Playing all these radio shows and I’m still writing a bunch in town and all this, But I don’t want it to be one of those things where whenever i’m, you know, forty years old and I have kids running around the house and everything like that. I don’t want my kids to be like, oh, what’d you want to be when you grew up?

01:18:53
Speaker 1: WHOA man?

01:18:53
Speaker 2: I mean, I think you’re already kind of doing it well. But like I mean, I think you’re doing it.

01:18:59
Speaker 1: Bro. You got song on the well.

01:19:00
Speaker 4: But I’m saying I don’t say, he said short, you’re doing that? No, no, no, no, but I’m just saying like I don’t want it to stop here, of course, like I want to, I just want it. I want to have a lifelong career. I don’t want to be like a one hit wonder anything like that, because I’m super super blood and so I’m not with Big Machine anymore. You know that that house that I was telling you all that I bought and the Hank Junior portrait. Three days after I closed on my first house, Big Machine dropped me. And I had no idea how I was going to pay my first mortgage. Honest to god, I didn’t.

01:19:34
Speaker 1: And that, honestly, that’s sleepless nights. I was sleeping on an air mattress in my new house trying to figure it out, just trying to figure out how I was gonna pay my mortgage.

01:19:47
Speaker 4: And to me, I feel like that added fuel to the fire.

01:19:51
Speaker 1: Of course it did that, that lit something under my tail, had to your booty, Yeah and yeah, exactly a couple of bottom But I feel like right then is when that’s when it kind of like snapped for me, Like you had an unreal chance at this the first time it didn’t work. Don’t stop there. So within three months I signed a new record deal with Triple Tigers. We made a record this year. So this year in all has just been kind of whack in the best way possible, but in the worst way too. Like well, so I feel like I’ve grown as a songwriter. There’s a song that I wrote this year that I think, don’t get me wrong, Long Live Country. The radio single is very great, it’s great, The EP is great, thank you. There’s a oh yeah, yell that one. So on that song. There’s there’s a song that will be my next release. We’re gonna start teasing it the week of Christmas. It’s called you Could Do Anything. I feel like that song alone is a career to finding a song for me. I caught my dad cheating on my mom back in January. I wrote a song about it. It’s I’ve never had a response to a song like this. I don’t even play it last in my I play it last time my set. I don’t even play the radio single last time I set. Right now, I play this song last because when I want people to leave in my live shows, I just wanted to be a roller coaster up down, up, down, up down, and then right there on the last of it that’s when I play this really personal song. And honestly, when I wrote this particular song, you could do anything. I had no intentions of anybody ever hearing it. I really didn’t. I wrote it for me and then Chloe. Whenever I get home, she always asked, She’s like, did you get a go in today? This was to like two weeks after I caught my dad cheating on my mom. I cried like a little girl going back home after I wrote it, listening to the demo and I got home and she was like, okay. I said yeah. She said, you get a good one today. I said yeah. She said it’s about your dad, isn’t it. Yeah? Yeah, And so she asked she could hear it. I played it for and we stood there in the kitchen on the little lex. I played it, and dude, we cried. We cried and cried and cried real stuff. Yep. And I’ll play it for y’all. But it’s to me, hands down, best song I’ve ever been a part of. Piano song, which is something totally different from me. Yeah, normally like I’m the beer drinking like hell yeah and honky tonk music, but this, this shows a complete different side and it’s it’s unbelievable. Yeah, it’s awesome. Had you ride it with? So? I wrote it with Matt McKinney. Yeah, me and Matt we write skinny. Yeah. We write like once or twice a month at least. Skeanny McKenny dude it with him, Casey Brown and uh, Taylor Phillips also, so yeah, some studs. Yeah, man, it’s uh, it’s special. So teasing its Christmas? Has this come out? When does this come out? Christmas Week? This comes out tomorrow? This comes out? Yeah?

01:23:14
Speaker 4: Yeah, I’m teasing at Christmas Week because they asked when I want to Just that’s something else that’s great about this new label I’m working with. So I’ve made my full record already and they said, well, so I went in and originally cut twelve songs and they were like, well, we would really like these two, which is the single and another one. Yeah, and uh, anyway, the whenever I’m laying vocals down and we’re listening down, like everybody comes in the studio, we’re all sitting there and the president and vice president of my new label is sitting there in the little like they’re literally asking me.

01:23:48
Speaker 1: They said, what songs did you end up cutting, which is crazy. Yeah, those of y’all that are listening like that does not happen, right. A lot of times they tell you.

01:23:56
Speaker 4: What you’re going to yeah, And so I’m like, did management and I tell y’all what’s on the cut list? And they’re like, no, it’s none of our business. We’re in the Shane profit business. We’re not in picking your songs. We want them, we want them to be a representation of you.

01:24:13
Speaker 1: That’s pretty cool. So when what’s the when’s your next record? When’s the record coming up? It’ll be uh, it’ll be probably in the in the spring. It’s awesome. Yeah, my first full record. So I’m so excited, are you dude? Yeah, you’re a freaking at all. Yeah.

01:24:30
Speaker 4: I feel like, uh, you know, yeah, kind of nervous, but more excited than nervous, kind of like you know, like on Christmas, Uh, you don’t really know what you’re getting, but you just know it’s going to be good. And so so I’m just I’m excited. I’m super blessed. And I just uh, back to that, back to that question, like what do I want out of this? I just want I want it. I want my music to represent me as as generic ause that sounds. What I mean by that is on this on this record, I left nothing on the table, like you know exactly who I am and what I’m on you.

01:25:11
Speaker 2: That’s exciting to be able to put that out and know it is. Let the cards lay where they made exactly. At least you’re honest about it. You know that’s cool?
