The Rut Is Overrated Killing Your Target Buck During The Rut
All right guys welcome back to the raised hunting podcast for those of you that can see us
How are you good to see you for those of you that can't I have Lauren and Eastern have joined me here
Even though you can't see them right now because they're in camouflage
Because they just floating heads can see me now just from the waist down
All right
Yeah, so today we're gonna be talking because we wanted to keep things timely and this is as timely as it gets because the rut is going
Full swing in Iowa right now. We're going to talk about trying to kill a target buck during the rut
down and
Done podcast over
How it what makes difficult what changes things and things like that?
I think I have a couple pretty good ideas on things that I'd like to add that but do we have some people we need to do some shout-outs to we do
Spotify people are on fire as normal if they keep it up this week
They may put us over 200 reviews already
At five stars all right, so Spotify people we're gonna give you a little dancing dance. Keep it up. Appreciate you
Yeah, get it. Yeah, yeah trips, baby and then on
On Apple we you guys were pretty slow, but we have to shout out to
Hillbilly high-test. He says best hunting show best of the unsponsored pods on Apple
Which I thought was actually really funny timing because that now we can make our announcement that we're super excited to tell everybody
That race-hunting podcast is now brought to you by
Reese's psych
We're not bringing on a sponsor
So I just thought it's funny, you know if he's saying best of the unsponsored ones are like, oh, yeah
Well, actually I was sponsored now. No, this podcast is brought to you guys and we still question why because
Sometimes it gets little wild, but that's all right. Okay, let's hop into this. Okay
We're already hopped into it. You know what the topic is do you want to go first?
You can't go first because you're in the middle of eating again. Why do you always do that? I don't know because you guys eat before the podcast
I'm working. Oh, yeah, that's oh, I'm doing something so hard
Okay, I don't have anything to add besides unless you have a deer
You're in the rut that your target buck that just happens to find does left and right in his spot
Sitting somewhere close by with the correct winds and just waiting for him to bring a doe by
Well, I think that's the first only thing I would rely on let's define what let's define what we're speaking about as a target buck
A buck that you want to shoot that you're targeting. I understand that but I'm saying it's a lot different in
in
Dad scenario you probably only have on a given piece of property one to two
target bucks, right?
Yeah, and now there's other instances where if you're saying all I care about if you were to say all you care about is a certain size
say 150 and
Larger where in Iowa keep that in mind then you may have
Seven six or seven target bucks, and I think that both of those are gonna change how you approach
the your
Pursuit on either of those I think the review is asking about a specific
specific
Yeah, I was looking for a caliber of deer there. That's not yeah, and I think the person that brought up this topic that started
Gave some parameters as far as the deer shows up in mid-October. Yeah, I can read it real quick. It's through December
They said
So shout out to Austin Shepard for the subject
Could you do a podcast on how to hunt and kill an old mature buck that normally shows up around october a little a lot
Holy moly around October 15th through the 25th and stays until the middle of December
That's was the specific question the first thing that I would tell it's Austin
Yes, first thing that I would say Austin is you missed your window if you haven't already killed him to in my opinion to have your best
Chance at it. Not that he's unkillable, but your best chance was that
October 20 something until November 1 or 4th or whatever you consider the beginning of the rut
Yeah, I mean that was when you should have been targeted in scrapes
You should be doing whatever you could whatever Intel
Fill your on X up so that you can see got a picture of him here got a picture of him here doing X
So what are you going off of in that instance though because if he hasn't shown up yet and you're saying that
Between the 25th and the first. Let's just say is your best window
Where what information are you going off of because the deer may not be there yet?
You're well, I'm assuming MF he's not there. Well, but I'm assuming that he's got some history with him
So that you got former information and you just got a bank on number one
Let's just guess that maybe you had found a shed or you had spotted him during the summer
Something told you at least that he was still alive
That's my point is if you don't that I wasn't saying that if you don't
If he's alive it's a different story
I'm saying that if you flat out don't know if the deer's alive
You should be looking for other things. Well, let's let's use BG as an example
Okay, so we had a deer very similar in nature. He'd showed up in October the past two years or two years prior
This year he didn't show up quite as early
But we felt confident. We had a shed from him. So we knew he made it through the season
Unless he got some weird
EHD could have got him or our youth to hunter could have killed him or something like that or a bow hunter before then
We felt like he was still alive
And you I mean you got to give yourself a little bit of
um
If you're gonna if you're gonna jump into this where you're gonna hunt target deer type deal
You gonna you're gonna have to go off of some
Information and say okay, I'm not jumping ship on October 15th because he didn't show up again on the 15th
I got to hang in there for a little bit. That may be your best opportunity. Yeah, because with BG
I went down there and sat actually the exact same spot were ended up showing up a day before yes
The evening before and he was not and and we didn't have any photos of him
We didn't know we just were banking on previous information correct that you had the right wind
You sit there hoping that he shows up and then the goofy sucker showed up the next morning
But I will agree that's hard to do if you don't know for sure that they're alive
It's gonna be hard to do but if you really want to kill him and don't go off of previous information of just
Meaning previous year of you just had pictures and they were at night
You know, I would be hopefully if I had a
Ideally to me if I had a scrape inside of the timber that I had daylight photos of him on
That's where I'd be I'd be camping out with the correct wind for the next
From the 15th to the first pretty much
Every time and and that's I just the only thing I learned that from was boy ankle
And then we really started honing in on scrapes and and utilizing the rub trees now
I do believe that like you just said that's your best window and it's the most consistent
It's gonna be boring
It's not gonna be the most exciting
But if you want to kill one deer that's what I believe you have to do you got to be really careful of your access point
Make sure that they haven't figured that out
But winkled figured that out
And then you got to just keep doing it over and over and over and because you're not most of those deer probably our daylighting
Every day for you or every other day or even every three days
It's maybe going to be once or twice and
That in that time period you got to be there for it
Okay, so let's just assume that I don't know when Austin sent this in
But he didn't kill him during that time if he's sending this in and and so now the rut has hit
Well and we owe Austin apology because it was 18 days ago
Oh, so he was trying looking for help right before
Yeah, so if Austin if you didn't kill him, it's our fault
We apologize I tell him that he's golden
Because in my opinion, that's not the best time
if
I would I'm going to preface this because if you're hunting them that time and there's other people that can hunt them that he can go other places
There's tons of variables that could happen if you have a situation where you're like, hey, I've got a chunk of a big a pretty decent chunk of land here
I know the neighbor or whatever else and you can say there shouldn't really be anybody else here that's
Going to shoot this deer
Then my opinion is your as long as they're staying there with according to him it to into December they are
The last week of November
Last or last week and a half of November is going to be 10 times easier to kill him and probably much more entertaining than the first
Six or seven or the October 25th to the first that you guys are talking about because in my opinion
Yes, that is a good the best time before randomness hits and you don't know where they're going to be when they're going to be
Whatever but when they get to that point if they're chasing those it's still going to be somewhere predictable
If you can find them during that time period of the last week of November and from what we saw last year
They're doing more of a pattern than you'd note you you care to recognize or that unless you've hunted that late that you pay attention to
and if they're doing that then
You have a pretty dang good idea of what the deer is doing
Just about day-to-day
Even if they're even if they're still intrigued with chasing some does around and stuff
So I think that he's honestly and even better of a position now if if he hadn't killed him by then
I wouldn't be pressuring him right now
Maybe go sit some places where you think that you could kill him or something, but I wouldn't be panicking like oh
I need to make some huge moves
What I'd love to hear is that Austin's already killed him. That would be the best scenario
You know make us feel better. Yeah, hopefully he'll send us a picture
Yeah, I did this. I did that and we'll know
But I agree with Eastern
That it's a good time. I still think that the best time has already passed
But I do think that and I'll and I'll use bass drop as one I killed him on November 22nd and he went home
In meaning I ended up shooting that deer about
200 yards, 250 yards from where I got the very first picture of him
And so going back to if the deer shows up and he's going going to stay in your core area
then
The only thing that you can do during the rut is hunt those stands that you have or stand that you have that when the wind is right and hope that in between those he passes by again
Because otherwise he's randomness. He's he's gone from one place to another and he's going
I mean he could disappear on you for and and that's exactly what happened with bass drop. He disappeared on me for
10 days something like that. No, it was longer than that because
Remember we thought that he got killed during the early muzzle loader. Oh, maybe that's what it was. Yeah
Yeah, and so and so you weren't even chasing him for right quite a while and then I pulled a card for you or something
And I was like
Hey, he's been reincarnated
You know, because it's not dead. There's a picture and it's absolutely him right. Yeah
What so what day here do you think it is that the
that
Pretty much all bets are off as far as them doing anything consistent
To be honest with you, I don't even think that they're all that consistent when it comes to that week
I think they're going to be doing that at some point or another throughout each day
But getting them to do it every day or somewhat like
Consistently during daylight. There's a lot more factors at playing you get a really warm weather
They're not going to show up till later maybe or it's dark
Yeah, they might be still coming to that same spot, but later later on they don't they aren't worried about as many things
And it's going to probably but I don't know where he's at, but most likely be somewhat cold and they're
Going to bed. Maybe checking a doe here and there going to food going to bed
and going to food
All right, I agree with that if I had to pick a period I'm taking I'm taking the
You told me you only get five days to hunt every year to try to kill a specific deer
I'm taking the
Probably the 28th
Through the second we should go back into through all the podcasts that we've discussed this because I think that that's a different answer every year
No
Every not every year every time we talk about it. So within a couple days to with a couple days
I mean, but well what so what day do you think that like
That the window that you're talking about is pretty much gone November 4th November 4th without a doubt
That's the day that I in my head, which I would say this year
I feel like everything is backed up about four or five days
I don't know why other than it just appeared to me that everything that we were looking at didn't hit like
I normally see it hit both from trail camera video photos
And from what I will see in what you guys are seeing
It seemed like we were a little late because typically I would tell you November 4th
One of us confirms a deer adobe in bread. Yeah, we've seen it
We we you know know that it's now taking place. Yeah, I would I'd say to me after the third pretty much like after the second
I'm like
Oh lord, you know, it's like yeah
um
So I don't ever have a deer that's that consistent even relatively close that early, so but I think shot now. I'm trying to think of
uh
So I'm gonna make a bold statement here now that if you're trying to kill a a specific target deer. I think the rut is way overrated
I've we ever killed
A specific target deer during the rut
Do
Okay, so there's one straight up should have killed junior in the heat of the rut
Should have killed him juice
juice
He was 13
Okay, those are ultra-home bodies though juice was a juice was a little bit different because he was like
He was a gangster and he had a hit piece on everybody like he was just running around trying to kill any other
Buck that existed
Okay, so that's three though when did I kill touch because not that I targeted him you guys said go kill this deer
And you put me in one stand and there was probably around the first week except I mean first week of november
He was also he was kind of like juice where he was just head hunting. Yeah, they're around
I mean and you know what it also depends on each deer that's the other part. Yeah, but I'm just I'm so okay any other ones
Because I'm trying to think of all the ones that I think I've killed
BG was november 1
The 10 with the stickers was november 2nd the
Boeing was October 22nd
Magnum was October 31st
You know, I can't really think of it. I don't think I've killed any
During the I've killed good deer during the rut
Which I think that's an entirely different thing is if you want to kill a good deer. I think the rut can be a
Fantastic time great time or a new deer. Yeah, I mean this is when you've been like
Just biting your time because going oh man. I can't find a deer to hunt that is what you're looking for
Yeah, and then all of a sudden the rut hits and someone shows up
And I think that that goes with what you said it even gets better later on at the tail end of the rut
When there aren't as many doves left in heat and now they really got to start to travel
To find that next doe. Yep, so okay
So let's to let's do a little different thing here now because this is gonna go right in my new theory
You only get five days
They have to be in november and you only get five days and we're gonna cut out
Through the fourth that way we get out of that period that you're talking about you think is the
One of the best windows. I know, okay
Every every day you got five days in the entire month of november except for the first four
What five days are you going to take to try to kill?
And should we go a target deer or a big deer?
I think 22nd through the 27th
22nd through the 27th. What are you doing? Is this a target deer? Is this any deer that fits your age class and I know you could possibly answer that
Yeah, let's go target deer first
I there's no way to answer that
Well you like if you have a target deer though. I'm just saying there's no way to answer that because
If that deer tends to stay there or stay in one my area or he's back somewhere whatever
Then okay, we're going target deer and assuming that he survives through the rut
Yeah, but I'm saying that if
If you know where he's going to be so I'm saying you yes, you know all that still do the 22nd through the 27th
Okay, so your window to need
But anyways because if you do a big deer, I mean
It's no doubt. Here's my here's my thoughts on this
I'd be going way earlier as my point if I had no information on a target deer
I didn't know where he was at didn't know where he ended up at the end of the year
I'd be trying to figure out where he's going to be running by the most
Well, and well, here's what I I'm just going to flat out admit that I suck at it
At what I'm about to bring up and that is
I'm fortunate enough to live in Iowa and I get two tags and I usually buy a landowner tag is during the archery season
And I'm thinking that I've filled the two tags twice
In 12 years or once maybe or maybe twice. I'm going to only think of once, but I can think we were thinking about this the other day
Right the wide town of the big eight. Yeah, I think that might be the only ones
No, there was another one. I thought there was another splits the year you killed splits you killed someone else too. I think
I don't know I'd have to go back and look at my list my point being is that
I'd love to think
That that late season after the rut starts to wind down and and man
This is a time go find that buck and only in one occasion
Have I had it work in my favor where I killed based drop on the 22nd
I don't know what I'm doing wrong at that time
But obviously is it yet I still kept tell myself ooh just wait once this rut starts to slow down once this
Once a bunch of the dough has been bred we'll be able to get on one
And it doesn't work for me. I'm not doing it right. I don't know what I'm doing wrong there
But I but now at the same time I still am passing some pretty good deer. I still see you know because usually by then if I'm sitting on that second tag
I'm being somewhat picky
Well, I also think though that
you
So you killed Brahma last year
Then the year before was straight up and then who else who was before that?
I think the year before that would have been based drop
Okay, so most of those though you're using your statewide first
So then you're limited to my life yeah, so I think that could be a big part of it because now you
And some of your stuff you don't have a ton of food right?
So I think that that could be a big part of yours is that you're having to work with what you got
Not anywhere that you can be able to expand your is not best for late season. Oh, yeah, that would be a big part of your issue
I think that is what I was telling him earlier is I think that if
From now on if I don't if I haven't punched a tag by like by like the third or the fourth
I'm going to make myself
Fly to Mexico and drink a pinnacle out on the beach for a week and take a week off
Because is what I think happens is is you're one of the few people that I can see that I see that does this and doesn't seem to have a problem with it
And everybody else I think that they get a little worn out right when they start
Especially the guys that can do the all-day sits hats off to you because I cannot do that
So I love sitting with eastern because a lot of times we've got an hour and a half and we're
We're eating sausage
So anyways
But the reason I would do that is because these sits right now can be really really hard because you sometimes you see a lot of
There a lot of times you don't or you see lots and lots of little bucks
And you don't see many of your your main deer and there's there is no
There's really not that much rhyme or reason to anything the more and more I'm looking at these deer like East and I sat
A spot two days in a row and had two possible shooters
Possibly three actually and not one possibly three the one that we couldn't see very well in
um
The one that was
You said was like 150 inch deer. Yeah, it was a first one
Okay, well, let's just say it was because he was of age but he still didn't come into range is my point
Wasn't close enough and then the next one that was an absolute shooter
Wasn't close enough and then the third one same thing and the problem with it is
Getting them down to one spot that's
under 40
Is so flip and hard during this time period that even when you do see them getting them to actually do it and walk right where you need them to
Is really I don't think it's skill as much as is it's a hope and a prayer
You know, you're praying that he's and the only thing that I would think is that there's a really good if you can find a really good
Pinch point and then you have the patience
To sit that pinch point whether or not you're seeing a lot of deer or not
Over and over and over and over and probably all day. Yeah, you're probably gonna catch one of those big big deer doing it
And you're gonna kill him a guy like me. I couldn't do it. I just flat couldn't do it
And I'm willing to admit that 100%
Because it I would just go nuts and it wouldn't be fun to me
So I think if I then took that time period off
It does seem like once these deer start running out of those
That it breaks loose a little bit and you do have a better chance because they're making way more rounds and then
You would so my whole premise with that is that I'd be fresh, right?
I'd be ready to go hunting and that I'd be coming back into a window when I think you have new big deer show up
And you could get into that later window where you could now
Pattern one and I think if you're gonna do that I think you need to take
Two to three days off from hunting and do nothing but
Scouting where you're going and glassing
See what they're doing yep and finding okay, we've got a deer here that's coming out to this food source
So this one's doing that and now you start your
Ascent and try to move in on them
That's and that's mostly from an observation standpoint as I've been camera man mostly but you can see
Obviously doesn't mess with me near as much, but it's still mess with my head. It really messes with his head
When you just keep doing it over and over and over and
You try to strategize and there's really just like Eli, you know, he's chasing deer right now
I think he's doing this. I think he's doing that and like dude. I told him that this morning
He's like what do you think I'm like? I don't think there's any rhyme or reason anything he's doing. He's he is looking for
A nice piece of meat
That's what he's doing. That's all you consider them. That's disrespectful. That's all the deer consider him
We have video proof there's no consent
You know that is so what would so what are we offering?
I think what we're offering if if it's this time of year right now when I would say we're in the heart of the rut
Whether that in in his location whether he's there yet or not
Um because I don't know where he's from but in the heart of the rut you got to just sit those areas that are core area
Stands and hope that he comes through there or sit a place that you know lots of those are
Frequenting and hopefully that because this is the time when he will make an appearance in a field
That you probably have had a hard time getting him to do that in the past. Yeah, you know
They'll just walk right out there yesterday morning
One of our target deer. I had him close enough to shoot and didn't have a shooting lane
And he walked out it like 830 in the morning
You know, I mean we're talking two hours after daylight
Yep, I think I think this is a time period where you got to stay mentally tough
Don't let it get in your head. Don't think that you're do it. Don't make any crazy adjustments
You just have to keep sitting it out and I think
those things I think from my younger self and what I've learned now is
And this is honestly probably only applicable really to people in Iowa because the thing we have to keep in mind is
It almost every other state has a rifle season that's starting or some sort of gun season right now or
Some of them are already started that's definitely going to affect your deer's odds
ours doesn't start when I'm one until December so we can kind of get him back on a
Little bit later season pattern, but I used to fear the end of the rut
Thinking like oh, no, I haven't killed deer yet and the rut's almost over. I'm never gonna be able to kill one after that and now I would think that
It'd be reversed to where okay, I think I'm actually gonna have as long as the deer is there
And I have a food source. I have better odds if I can find him of killing him
That's your key factor there. I think if you can find him
Like you've said, I think you have a really good chance of killing that deer
Agreed. I'm making a pinion on that. I dread the rut. I hate it. I have a burning passion
Absolutely hate it. It's fun to watch do you want to go to Mexico too? Yeah, I will go because
I don't give a crap about just watching a bunch of deer run around anymore like I've got goals. I've got ambitious
All right, I want to complete something and that is not when to do it and I am tired of just sitting there
Oh, there's another tiny buck. Oh, there's another tiny buck and when I'm saying tiny buck
We're in Iowa and I'm seeing fork and horns left and right freaking ridiculous
So I I have grown in the past year this year and last year
Screw rut I'd much rather hunt before and after I can't stand it because it drives me up a wall
Why don't you tell us how you really feel?
now
Screw the rut that's how I feel
There's so many people sitting out there going way and way and way and he's seeing bucks
I have a buck after buck and he's complaining. Yeah, no the the rut can be tough anywhere
I mean just number one getting them to stand still they come through they come within 10 yards
a lot of times and just
Just motor and through or chasing the doe all around
And they might even come by three or four times and you can't get them
You're yelling at them and everything else and they won't stop
But at the same time it's that time of year when they do come out of the woodwork
They they bucks you have not seen making daylight appearances will make daylight appearances and
And that's where all day sits can be beneficial because you can see him at any time
There's no difference in us driving to him from work now
We're hunting in the mornings hunting in the afternoons and yet when I'm driving in I see
A deer crossing a field, you know, it might be a small buck
But it tells me he's on his feet and guaranteed if there's a big buck out there
And he's just finished with a doe and he's going to the next one. He doesn't care what time it is now
Yeah, you'll make that you know unless he needs a recovery time
One of the things that I would add that we saw a little bit earlier and and this is like way off topic
But another thing that you might key in on it is pay attention to what's going on with the area that you're in as far as
moisture
Because we actually have I have I have a couple ponds like small not ponds like fish ponds, but like
Just water units that sit sit in the ground and Nick and I were sitting one afternoon and had a good buck
Matter of fact, he'll be a target buck next year
But he just ain't quite there and he went by us and I was like where is this sucker going and he went straight to my pond
Which was empty because I don't put water in it
It just fills from natural rainwater. Well it was empty and you could hear him pawing on it
He's pawing at that thing clanking it and everything no watering it and turned walked away
Water and as far as I know is legal in every state as far as
having it as like an attracting or as a
Putting water out if you live in one of these drought areas or you find the creek bed that's got that
Because the couple days later
We're in a different spot and a buck comes down and you could see that the creek is all dried up
It's a completely dry, but there was one place that was wet
That meaning not didn't even look like there was any water and that buck paul at the ground there
And I think he found and you could hear him
Yeah, trying to get this little bit of water out of there. That's what I think that could be huge
Joey killed his buck right off of the stand that we've had multiple deer now come
To get a dress and it's literally the little creek. It's like there's nothing in it hardly
But it was right under us and I've watched a couple now
Drink out of it come specifically around go out of their way to drink out of it right there
Especially when they're running as hard as they are and it's this warm and it gets this warm
And they've got their winter coat on already because we've already had some cold weather and
And he might take just a minute to
Peer peel away a little bit to go grab a drink and get back onto what he's doing. Yep
And that's one of those things where it's not necessarily just an enjoyment thing he has to have it
Yeah, he's got to have water
Yeah, I think that could be I would really be curious to try a little bit more of that in the future
I think that especially on these warm years that could really pay off
For sure. I think that's what I was trying to think of is
I don't know how the first few years we lived here
We got I got really lucky we got the deer I was killing on November 10
Because I'm trying to think of now the last time that I saw a good deer like a good mature deer or even
140-50 plus inch deer that was locked with a doe that came by me
Because that I killed three or two or three in a row
Right away when we moved here, and now I'm trying to think of the last couple years. I can hardly
I can hardly think of any I know bass drop was with a doe, right? Yep
but
Other than that
I haven't had a good deer. Well, and straight up was with two or three does
The three does came out in the food plot and he skirted around to run another buck off
And then made his way out
Yeah, I've only had one do that. It was not so all right
Well, but let's finish this with Austin because so what would we tell him?
I mean, you can give our opinion coming up
Hopefully if he hasn't killed him, hopefully that will be information that he can use and that is
Man take every piece of information that you have from past years whether it's last year only or two years or
And try to see if you can put together any kind of pieces of a puzzle that tell you where you need to sit and where you need like
What direction he's coming from? What is he going to? What's his food source?
Where's he betting at because he will get somewhat consistent again
To a degree and he'll still be in the mindset that if he thinks it's that time of day and the he's not with a doe
He might go check somewhere so he may show up to that scrape at 8 30 in the morning, you know two hours after daylight
So that's what I would tell you is go back to your home base
Basically the core area where you've been where you'd seen him
Take whatever information you've got from the past years and try to apply it
And be ready. Yep. I would agree. I would agree 100%
Anything else do we cover that one pretty good? I think that I think we
Did pretty good on that personally? Well, you do one other topic
But I know you're reaching for your wacky facts
But the one thing that you were talking about what would it change if you if it was in Austin's particular deer
And if you were just trying to kill a mature deer or trying to kill a certain sized deer
Um
Does any of that change? I think you had mentioned that you know, we want to address both ways
Yeah, I think I'd be going I think I would be focusing
Between like the 17th and the 22nd or maybe the 18th through the 23rd
Uh, just because I do believe that that and I think that that
requires a little bit different mindset because I think if you're going to kill a really big deer during that time period
It's probably going to be one you don't know
And I like that kind of thing because that that's why I like shed hunting different places so much because I
It's exciting to me to what could show up and you can go back in our trail camera catalogs every single year
And there is always a new
Big deer that we don't know that shows up in that in that window
Now I think killing them could be hard, but
Right, I would like to at least be sitting there hoping with that that opportunity
May arise
So I yeah, if I was just trying to kill a big mature deer
That's probably definitely the time window that I would be doing it
Yep, I don't know what the date is I can think think of three deer for some reason this I'm thinking
I have a second tag curse
Because now that I think about I've had three shot opportunities
Goodness
I've had three shot opportunities
On that with my second tag that I have completely missed by a long ways
um
Slugger
Yep, that was equipment malfunction shot straight over top of them
I still don't I know you think I use the wrong pin on the drop time the free the freak thing
I have no idea
And then there was one other oh and then the one at the 80 I shot underneath them. I miss judge the yardage on that one
Was any of those in the same year
Well, that'd been three years right there
Right
So I had offered some so my point is I put myself I put myself in the
So you were getting the shot still
David is one for four on his second tag all those all those were
Quite a bit later too. They were later. Well, the
I don't know about slugger can't remember who you be your camera guy because I said they're just waiting for the shot
I was with him on slugger
He was that one was done. I mean that was an equipment malfunction deal. Yeah, that was but
We were hunting hard. Yeah, I think that one was like the 20th around there
And then I think that um the drop time deer was
Was really late. No, there was the last day of the season was it
I do remember that that was because that was I would already matter fact the the interview even says
Well, today is it. This is the last one and and
We don't have no more and then it wasn't
While we were doing the interview
Yeah, all of a sudden I think it was Drew was filming and he's like
Kaden or Kaden. Yeah, he's like right behind you
Yeah, well that deer that deer got onto a pattern
He had been there day after day, but I didn't know that I hadn't checked the camera yet
Oh, that was after that was after
Yeah, cuz he was really consistent. I remember for a few days
Yeah, well that was that
That picks up three of them right there. Yep
So you're still getting the shots, but
Just killing them
Okay, all right. We're going to the you're gonna say it right today because he's changed the name of this like four five does every time
Warren's wacky facts. Oh wow
We're Warren's wild facts. Oh my gosh a human brain operates on about 15 watts
So I think if we hook up a car battery to your brain
Maybe we'll get full usage out of it
You need to come up better facts
It's my segment. These are boring lately. They used to be like pretty weird or out there
No color of flamingo is or whatever. That was a boring one now too. Why is a flingo that color?
You're like three you're like over three rolls camp burper vomit
Nor can any other rats more like this. This happens to be why rap poison is so effective other mammals tend to
expel any toxic substance they ingest
Interesting
Holy shit this one's crazy the extinct colossus penguin stood as tall as LeBron James
That's freaking cool. Could you imagine giant penguin if I was paying that big I would be chasing all the leopard seals with my beak
I'm sure there's a leopard seal
That's why you can pull her bears feast in on a penguin. So that's your wacky facts of the day
We got a penguin that is oversized
Yes, I wonder what the white tail deer look like back then probably really
You probably were scared to hunt them. They probably had fangs if I
Yeah, it seems some stuff like they had like fang like they were meat eaters
Yeah, that's that's not a thing
What
What was that moose looking thing
Remember do you that's a scene those no
What was it
Nick said it was the Irish out that things wild you know what I'm talking about I don't think so they're bigger than a moose
They look like a moose
But they're bigger like 12 feet at the shoulder or some crazy shit
Like you'd have to probably be shooting the 900 grain arrow to kill one of those
Yeah, let's see
All right, we're gonna get out of here. All right. Well, there's Warren's wacky facts
They're looking up the Irish elk will save that one for the next time
That will be the next wacky fact. So we'll put you on suspense mode
Thank you guys for joining in. We appreciate you. Hopefully you guys are whacking some deer
um
It mean it is that time of year that it's just time to so much fun
Um, even whether the weather gets bad or whatever when you're deer hunting it just seems to all be good
So if you killed one sentence pictures. Yeah, send pictures. We'd love to see it
And if you have topics we'll try to do them timely apologize to Austin again for not getting his right away
So the those reviews please raised hunting sign. You know, we know you got us
