00:00:02 Speaker 1: Welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, your home for deer hunting news, stories and strategies, and now your host, Mark Kenyon. Welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast. I'm your host, Mark Kenyan, and this episode number two and today in the show, we are back for another episode of our fresh mini series in which we're getting fresh from the field updates from deer hunters across the country on what deer doing right now, help coming conditions might impact them, and what you can do in the coming days to fill your tag. Welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, brought to you by on X. It is me and Spencer new Hearth here for another episode of our fresh radio mini series which we hear from hunters all across the country on the latest in dear activity, on how current conditions are impacting deer and deer hunting, and the different ideas in tips and tactics that can help you feel a tag right now in these next couple of days. That's the game plan for today, Spencer. Do you feel that given the given the gauntlet I just laid, can we meet those expectations? Can we deliver on the episode today? I think we can. I think listeners should be interested into what these four guests have to say because this time of year, maybe more than any other time of year, the deer movement seems to be almost like a light switch, like the velvet's gone, the bachelor group's break up, and these bucks that you've been seeing on their summer patterns for the last three months now t are nocturnal, and so like hearing this kind of information, I think in early to mid September is more valuable than maybe even like early November. Yeah yeah, well, yetta strike when the iron is hot, and it can get cold real fast this time of year. So that said, who do we talk to? We start off in Maryland and talked to Cody Hesseltine, and then in South Dakota was Alex Comstock from White Tailed DNA, and then we get on to Florida from Story Hunts is Brandon Story, and then we talked to Hunter Forbes from Southern White Tail Outfitters in Kentucky. Now I enjoyed talking to these guys because I have not been getting my white tail fixed lately. I'm about to start focusing on elk. But you Mark, you have been doing some scouting in preparation for Michigan's opening, which is still like three weeks away, is that correct? Yeah, yeah, to two and a half weeks something like that. But yes, doing my long distance scouting, which every year I find myself doing more and more and more of, um, just getting out there with a spotting scope and watching being fields or food plots or crop fields of some kind depending on what I can get access to. And and yeah, you know, the last couple of days up until today, we have had some pretty cool weather for the time of the year, and I think that in part has led to some pretty good activity out there still in some of these fields. So I've got on one of the properties that can hunt. There was a late planted bean field, so it is still very green and the deer just hammering it. So, oh, I don't know. Handful nights ago, I saw a real nice I've been calling the big nine, but I think he's actually ten point. He's got a short G four on on his right side, I guess, but he's a three or four year old. And then last night and the night before that, I saw another buck that I've been seeing a lot this summer, really nice ten pointer um. And I don't know if you saw this. I posted this on Instagram last night, Spencer. But I've been watching this buck growth throughout the summer, and I've been trying to figure out, like, do I know this, dear? Is this? Is this somehow a deer that took a big jump from last year? He kind of seems familiar, and a two year old from last year kept pop up popping up in my head as a deer, like I need to go back and compare pictures and video to this one. So finally last night I went and did it. I looked at a bunch of pictures, pull of a bunch of old video, and then compared it with all the phone scope footage I have of this deer this year, and matching him up with similar angles. I think it's a match. I think, at least it is a very good chance it's a match. This dear last year was just a decent two year old eight pointer here in Michigan, UM. And I noticed him last year because I don't know if you remember, But all through the late summer and early fall last year, I was still holding out hope that holy Field might have made it UM And so I got a couple like grainy distant pictures of like a tall eight pointer in the distance and had a frame that kind of till ted it up. His main beings kind of tilted up at the end. I'm like, man, could that be holy Field? If if so, he really took a jump down, like he really decreased in size. Well, it turns out it wasn't holy Field. It was this buck. It was this eight pointer. And I ended up seeing him a bunch throughout the season, and in November he started. He appeared one day like really injured, like seriously gimped up. Uh So I just kind of referred to as gimpy every time of something that's that's gimpy in my head. He pop out almost he like it's like he followed me around every time I was out. I would see him, Um well lo and behold, I think that gimpy is this ten pointer really has picking a nice jump. He's a good looking ten point, just a three and a half year old, but he's been out there feeding. This big nine was out there feeding, you know, thirty minutes before dark. So that's a long winded way of saying kind of like what you mentioned at the top that when the going is good, the going is good. And so we've had cool weather and I had a good food source and that got these uh, these nicer bucks in the area out on their feet. So I'm gonna keep on keeping tabs on it, you know, the next two weeks, going to stay off the property and um, just observe and maybe put something in place for opening day or that first week. But I'm excited. It's coming quick. It's coming quick. It sounds like that light bulb where these bucks break up their bachelor groups and go nocturnal has not quite turned off for you yet, Is that correct? Well, I will say the bachelor groups seemed to have broken up these so these sightings that I've seen recently were so low sightings. And in previous you know, all throughout the summer it was a big group of them. And now I've just been seeing that one of them would be out there and then two days later the other one would be out there. But they're all by themselves now. So I do think that is that has happened. But you know, it's still early. That testosterone it's it's rising, right the velvets peeled that the stopstone is rising, But we certainly are still in that somewhat friendly stage. As we get closer to octog, we're you know, we're gonna start seeing things changed every week, but they're still on speaking terms right now. I'd say, and and something Mark that like I've I've picked up on through now four seasons of doing this podcast is deer movement in mid September can largely be dictated by consistent weather. Now, there's certain like things that you hear, like a cold front will get deer on their feet, or a full moon will make deer movement worse in the mornings. Meanings like, there's a lot of general things like that that are just really widely accepted. And I think this is maybe one that I haven't heard talked about as much until he started doing this podcast. And then two years ago in late September, I killed my biggest buck ever with my bow and that was kind of the same case. It was like a week straight of the same wind, no temperature fluctuations. And then on this episode again it came up where guys were talking about how they were excited for the come week because there was that consistent weather that have been building. Is that something that you've heard people discussed or talked about for hunting in September. Well, will clarify this for me, because the thing I have heard from a couple of people, not a lot, but Mark Drewy in particular talks about this is that when you get a long period of consistent weather, the first day it breaks, the first day that change happens is when you see that bumping movement. So if you were to have four or five days of the same when stuff stagnates, the longer something stagnates, it builds up the potential boost that you'll get as soon as it changes. That's one of the theories I've heard is that what you're speaking to or are you saying that these guys are saying that they have better hunts during the stagnant, similar consistent weather. Yeah, I'm referring to like when you get four or five days of consistent weather that some of these people we've talked to you in this episode in past episod zodes uh like to see that in the forecast. And I don't know the reasoning or if they can even justify or I can justify it. Maybe it said it like kind of gets them back in that summer pattern in mid September, after it's kind of gone away. I don't know what it is, um, but it's something now that's come up over a couple of seasons of doing this podcast. Interesting. I mean, the one thing that comes to mind is it's simply is beneficial from a hunting standpoint as the hunter, because if you've got four or five days of a consistent wind direction, you have four or five days where deer might be doing something that you can take an advantage of in the same way, right, Because it sucks if you see a buck do something for two nights with a west wind and then you can finally hunt him, but then all of a sudden it's east wind, you know. But if you have five days straight of west's, then you have the opportunity to make a move with that similar window. Actually, I mean, that's one thing I can think of that would make that beneficial. But I'm intrigued to hear from these people about what they're seeing. Yeah, I think that's that's maybe the best observation on this theory. Mark that if if you are watching a bean field and there's five days of south winds and you see this deer doing this on nights too, and nights three, then you're probably gonna see him there in night's four and five, And and in your head that means that the buck moon is better if you're seeing the same thing. So maybe not in reality that the deer movement is better, but it certainly is at a haunters advantage that perception. Yeah, that makes sense. Well, I would say we should just get into it because I'm not deer hunting right now, so I just need to vicariously live through some folks who are. And I know we've got four guys here that can help me do that. So do you want to take up here, Spencer, Yes, And I want to plug something for the end of the podcast. I want to stick around and listen because Hunter Forbes in Kentucky, uh just recovered a deer this afternoon that one of his clients hit last evening and it's probably the most unique recovery store I've ever heard. Um, So stay tuned for that, listen to the whole podcast. Oh and I thought you're gonna plug something else, and I will plug this other something else. Um. If you have not yet signed up for our new White Tail weekly newsletter, you should go do that over at the meat Eator dot com. We are putting a bigger emphasis on white tails never before, with yours truly and Spencer and a couple of other folks on the team contributing new articles, new video series, podcast series like this, and we're gonna put those in a weekly newsletter sent right to you every single Monday, so you can stay up to date on the latest and greatest white tail stuff that we are working on. So all you gotta do is go to the meat eater dot com. You'll see a little pop up it. I'll ask you to sign up for that newsletter. Go hit that up. We've got some really cool stuff that's gonna be announced here very shortly, including uh, I think I can say this a pretty badass giveaway or two possibly, so hit that up as soon as you get done listen to this. Is that that's that's a solid thing to ask him, right, Spencer, that's a really good plug. The giveaway is so good that I want us to rig it somehow for me to win, Like I'm willing to put my job on the line to win this giveaway. It's that good. Wow, I guess with that none that note, let's uh, let's wrap it up and move on to the interviews. All right, talk to you next week. But before we move on, and I tell you guys about the biggest sale of the year currently going on over at the meat eater dot com. Now, what's happening is we have a whole bunch of stuff sitting in one warehouse and they want us to move it from that warehouse to another warehouse. But we figured rather than going through all that work, we're just going to market really cheap and sell it. So go over to the meat eata dot com. Look at our shop and there's almost fifty different things that are currently marked for off. You're gonna find things like hoodies, hats, t shirt, it's mugs. We have a variety of different styles and sizes. We have men's, women's, in youth. So don't miss out in this deal. It only go us through Thursday evening. By the time you hear this ad, you probably have less than twenty four hours, So head over the media dot com check out those sales are and joining us on the line. First is Cody Hesseltine from Maryland. Now, Cody in Maryland, what would you say the bucket activity is ben lately on a scale of one to ten for our opener was pretty good. Um, I would probably give it a seven eight out of ten. On Saturday, Friday was pretty slow because you had the hurricane come through with some some high winds and it kind of laid the deer down their real skittish. But you know Saturday after that I pass the deer really moved. Well. No, I know, you just killed a buck there in Maryland. Tell us a little bit about that setup. Um, so I'm that set up I was. I was kind of hunting in a transition area, something just off the edge of betting where these deer come outs a thicket, I mean, transitioning through it going to a big white up flat um as a white us to just started dropping it within the last week and a half or so. So is that a food source that you think is going to be pretty consistent throughout the all of September here or is that a short window where deer you're going to be hitting that. No, it'll be pretty consistent throughout the month. They're just starting to drop now, They're they're not a lot coming down. I think in the next week the two more should start falling. That should be a bigger food source for the deer as an urban bow hunter. What are the food sources this time of year are you looking for? Um? I hunt a little bit on the edge of farmland. Two. So the sugbeans are still pretty grand, and now the deer still really going to feed on those. The white oaks and some of the burrows are really what I tend to key on, trying to get up some most flash the deer coming out and these open flash if he at night. Do you notice any differences for how long or how short those urban deer hold their summer patterns versus the ones that are in more of your typical farm country. I don't really know the difference between the urban far arm deer. It really seems here once the white oaks start following, that really becomes their preferred source of food and that they'll go right to that. So I don't really see too much of a change in patterns from the urban and farm deer as summer. What are you seeing right now for bachelor groups or bucks still traveling together at this point? Yeah, for the most part, they're still traveling together. They're starting to break up a little best seeing some of the mature bucks that shed their velot, they're starting to hang out by themselves now, but for the most part, most of deer still battered up in groups of four or five. And are you seeing any signmaking at this point in Maryland or do you think it's still too early? Um? Too early? I mean I seem a little bit just some of the community scrapes that are open year round though they're still being hit. But I haven't seen any rubs or anything like that happen. Cody, what is your trail camp strategy this time of year then, and how is that going to change throughout the month of September. Right now, I'm really starting to move a lot of them onto the white Oak flats, trying to you know, figure out which which trees are dropping, a lot of acorns moving in there and hard see what what new deer moving into those areas. Um for that right now, and then also kind of moving some awesome some soybean fields onto some of the community scrapes. I know the buck that you killed was still in velvet, but are you still seeing a lot of those books that have fazzy antlers? Yeah, I would say right now it's probably maybe still in velvet. And notice we opened there on the sixth and I would say probably semi fibers on the bucks from Velvet Ben. But now it dropped down the four they're really starting to shed quick now going forward. Then in this next week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Maryland? We got a cold front coming in Friday, so I think it's gonna ramp up. We got kind of warmed up now back up into the nineties. They're supposed to drop up down into the seventies. So with that twenty degree tempt drops there on Friday, I think the buck Act two is going to stay pretty good right around are Cody will congrats on the awesome deer and thanks for joining me. Thank you all and joining us on the line. Next is Alex Colm Stock from White Tailed d NA who was hunting in South Dakota. Now Alex in South Dakota. What would you say the buck activities man lately on the scale of one to tend Yeah, I would say when I was there was probably about three. And the only reason I really wouldn't put it out of one was because the first night we saw two really nice bucks, but it was on the walkout after shooting hours. Um. Other than that, we really didn't see any bucks and deer activity as in general was just really slow. Now, you were hunting the opener on public land there in South Dakota. Do you think that contributed to why you didn't see much? Do you think there was just not much good dear movement across the board? Yeah? I think with the weather this wasn't that good. Uh, deer movement across the board. Um, it was really hot. It was you know, pushing nineties. With the Humanity I think it said it was, you know, about four, So I don't think the weather I was doing as much favors there. So what were your setups then? Knowing that it was really hot and humid, we were on the public land that we were on, we were trying to get tight to bedding um where we were hunting. We had pictures of bucks moving um through midday when they would show up, so we kind of knew we were close to where they were bedded and we were hoping they would kind of get up there right in the last half hour before they head out to the crops, and uh, they just just wouldn't show. So that was kind of our game plan. Now, the great planes had a lot of rain this spring and summer, so there's plenty of water available. Did that factor into your guys decision making it all? It didn't completely factor entire decision making just because there wasn't any water water sources around, But like you said, it was the being so wet out there. There was water just available anywhere, So even if there was, we probably wouldn't have from the deer that you did see, we're also still holding velvet or must bucks hard horned at this point. We saw a mix. So there were some smaller bucks that we saw in velvet and we're getting pictures and bucks still in velvet um. But the night that well, those two bucks on the walkout they were they were both horn already, and that would have been on September two. How about bachelor groups? Were bucks still traveling together? It appeared that they were still traveling together. I figured they probably would have been for at least another week. So based on what we were seeing, what do you think the best food source to haunt this time of year would be in that area? Were you looking at some big egg? Where is there's some natural brows available as well? Yeah? Out there it seemed like they were heading out to alfalfa fields at night. We were all the crops that we had around with the corner and salfa. Um seeing deer driving around at the end of the night, um, or those deer that we saw after dark, we're in alfalfa field, so that kind of seemed to be the primary food source. Now, when you only have a short window like that and you're traveling boat hunting on public land, did you consider any morning setups at all? Yeah, we actually hunted two mornings. Um. We got it super early, really tight again to bedding, and the one more was our best hunt. We saw probably a two or three year old buck that had some really good genetics and a few doughs coming through. But even though deer came through within probably the first ten ten minutes of a legal shooting night. So if it hadn't been so hot there in South Dakota in the four or five days you had to hunt, would have that changed your strategies? Yeah, I think we would have probably gone with the same strategy, but it would have probably gave us a better chance for these those mature lucks be getting out of their beds, maybe a little early headed to the food, being able to cut them off in those last hour or so of light, being in close to their bedding like you were. Did you come across any signmaking I know what's really early, but it sounds like you were tight on them the timber, so maybe you saw some rubs or scrapes as soon. Yeah, we did not run any across any rubs or scrapes, So I don't know if we just weren't tight enough, or if if we just weren't in the exact right spot per se. Going forward. Then in the sext week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten in South Dakota. I'd probably put it still pretty low. When I had left, Uh, the outlook for the weather was still pretty warm, and unless you get a significant temperature temperature drop, I would put it probably around the four or five. Alright, Alex Well, I hope you get a chance to return. Good luck with the rest of your season, and thanks for joining me. All right, thanks Spencer are in joining us on the line. Next is Brandon's story from Florida from Story Hunts Now. Brandon in Florida, what would you say the bucket activity has been lately on a scale of one to ten. I'd say here in the past week, we're probably at about a six out of ten right now, which should be increasing with the full moon coming up here. So what phase of the rut are you experiencing right now in South Florida? UM, In the south zone south of Highway seventy, we've seen really intense running actually from the very beginning of August. UM. It really peaked up in the mid August when the full moon hit then and it seemed to slow back down a little, which I think they'll increase UM as the full moon coming there and then on the north side of seventy and centrals on fixing and open this weekend. UM, we've noticed that the bucks have really broken out of their bachelor groups a couple of weeks ago, and they're starting to make some scrapes and UM lease and signed and break off into their areas. So I would assume that the Central's on rut is gonna probably really get fired up here in the next couple of days when the full moon hits as well. With that full moon coming, how does that change the strategies for your clients? UM? It really just as much as you can stay in the tree stand with the full moon, because you don't really know when they're gonna show their face, but they show their face a lot more during the daylight around that time. It seems like they, um, not only are you know, in the daylight a lot more, there are a lot more serious in intents into the rut. You see a lot more fighting um songs hanging out as their cruising a lot mid day. So you really just have to kind of get where you know, the does are out on the camera lately, and I hope you can get the right buck to pass by at the right time. Now, Hurricane Dorian didn't directly hit you guys, but it certainly brought some weather. How did that affect dear movement? Um, we've definitely seen the increase in deer movement for the two or three days before Dorian got really close to us. Luckily it did turn and go up the coast. Um, it seemed like for the day or two that it was really you know, close to us there and some of the winds and rain were coming in that there was a shut down on some of the cameras that we got to where there was not as much dear movement at all, So it seems like they really loaded up before the storm shut down a couple of days when it was close, and then afterwards, um, we started seeing the deer activity picking back up along with all the birds that are kind of left and not everything got back to normal. Typically, if it was at this stage that brought in mid in the Midwest, hunters would be using calling and decoys and strategies like that to bring the deer to them. Is that something that you guys utilized in South Florida? Yes? Or um, you know, I thought of the Midwest and Florida and I have does seem like some of the Midwest states you get a little better response with the calling and all. But it's I think with any state, the right place at the right time, with the right call is gonna make you know the deer come to you. So there is you know, it is effective right now with the deer on their feet if you can, you know, hit a ground call at the right time, or hit some rattling horns while their cruise and then not on the hot dough and get on the turn and come towards your area a little more so those um, if you know what area you're in, you know a bus, you know we're kind of in that area, and you've got some dominant box. I think calling right now is very effective. What food sources are hunters now focused on? And what food sources are those deer hitting? UM? A lot of our main food sources down here is you know, natural stuff that i'd say the orange grows people setting up off the orange grows. Now. Besides that, we have a lot of protein feeders and you know spin feeders down here, branches have on them for you know, multiple different animals, um. And then people are also planting a lot of food plots. If you had your earlier food plots in where you have your ashion nominee some clover, some peas growing, that'll be your food sources. They're mainly hitting right now with the rut going on in your area. Are you seeing a lot of signmaking right now? And how do you use that? Yeah, we're seeing a lot of signs um popping up in the centrals on now because they're breaking off and starting to mark their territories. UM. As the full moon hits and they actually locked into these does the signs should die down? UM? You usually see a lot of signs if you want to call it pre rut. Different people have different you know, views on what they call rutton pre rut. But before they really start breeding and chasing the dose is when they make a lot of sign. As soon as the sign starts kind of dying down. You know this when they're actually locked into their dos. And I would say, starting this weekend and next week, you're gonna start seeing less sign and more chasing going forward. Then in six week or so, what do you think that bucket TV is going to be on a scale of one to ten Florida. I would say by the full moon um coming up by this weekend, it's gonna be about a nine out of ten or ten out of ten um with the timing coming off the backside of Dorrian and seeing where the rut's been down south compared to where these bucks are kind of breaking up now, they're about exactly where the deer were down south before the full moon hit there. So I expected it to be pretty high night our tent out of town. All right, Brandon, Well, good luck to you and the hunters. Are you having camp? Thanks for joining me, awesome, appreciate it, ma'am. Alright and joining us on the line next is Hunter Forbes from Southern White Tail Outfitters in Kentucky. Now Hunter in Kentucky. What would you say the bucket activity has been lately on a scale of one to ten, and I M gonna go with a seven, seven out of ten. Yeah, we've got a south wind the past couple of days and put them back in their summer patterns, it seems like. And it's been pretty good. Um, have some hunters killing deer yesterday evening and artist seeing new this afternoon. So yeah, I'm gonna give it a seven these last couple of nights. What have those setups been like? Man? So typically everyone's targeting beans this time of year, and here lately the corn's been getting shaled, so all these first cut corn fields has really drawn the deer in. Um. It seems like the majority of the deer are betting in the beans and coming out to the corn fields. So it's kind of reverse um, which she would be thinking can but everything's leaving the beans and come into the fresh cut corn field. So that's pretty much bet our setups and been working out here lately. So is that a pattern that you think is going to last for a while or is that going to be short lived? Well, it's kind of on a perform basis on when the corn is gonna be coming out. So as soon as it comes out, you know, it may be like that for a couple of weeks here. Um. But if you're you know, corn hadn't came out yet, then you're not seeing that. Um. And on all those farms which just mainly been hunting over you can paint in kentuckis that mainly hunting over corn poles? Do you have any strategies for killing those bucks that bed out in egg field, like say they bet in a bean field and they also feed in a bean field. Do you have any strategies for killing those deer? Or they just too hard to get to right now? It's about access this time of year. Um, if you can't get into him, you work you're gonna speak him. You know, it's probably the case. So if you can have a you know, a sit and to be able to watch them from afar and come up with a game plan more than like they're going to be doing the same thing the day after day given constant weather, consistent weather and so over the weekend we struggled a little bit because we went from the south wind to a north wind, and those north wind days we just weren't seeing the deer like we we're on camera. Um. But as of yesterday it swapped came out of south again and we're back to our normal summer patterns and it's been good so far. I'm seeing quite a few deer on cameras and moving in daylight, and hopefully we'll get a few more down this week. So when you say that these deer are back to their summer patterns, does that mean that you catch a lot of bucks traveling and bachelor groups. Yeah, there's some bachelor groups. They're just starting to shed their velvet. Some are right now, and say we're probably sitting on as far as the ones that have and haven't. Every day we're losing you. On those north one days, we got a little bit cooler force. Deer seem to be moving like early morning, right at first light, which we don't hunt the morning's early season. We just stick through the afternoons, you know, afraid to bump in deer out over the food sources getting into We didn't really worked out for our hunting sylm as tours killing this deer, but not we're seeing them in the afternoons. Um. We've been kind of slowly working our way in as far as sitting and seeing them from a couple hundred yards and then hanging and hunting them, you know, wherever we saw them come out from. So that's Prood's been working the best for us and doing that on that they're being shield like. Combines are just getting out of the field and we're going right behind them. Um can drive the truck all the way up to it because they're used to the farm equipment. And before those combines are on the field, we gotta stand hung and hunters ready to go hunting. When you have so many destination food sources like you have on your properties there in Kentucky, do you concern yourself with water at all or are you always focused on that egg? Yes, definitely about water. We're really really dry right now, UM, I'd say, not really constraining water as far as where we're hunting, but as far as what farms are going to have shooter bucks on it right now. If we don't have water somewhere close, we're probably not going to have those deer that we're trying to hunt. So they're they're definitely hanging around it, you know, to some degree, but we're not hunting over them. On a different note, I saw on Instagram today that you guys recovered a buck that it seemed like you had lost hope on to find this deer that a hunter had just hit. It's a really cool story. Yeah, So last night at last light, we had a shot on a deer and a little bit you know, too far forward, further than we would like. Um, we gave him four hours and followed up. We happened to bump the deer, so we came out. Um, he looked like he was hit pretty bad, and we could hear Tardy selling clothes and we're worried that they were going to get to him. And by the morning we came back in this morning and we felt blood for posted nine yards. Um, the last spot kind of ended out of being filled and there's several trails going through and we walked as far as we could, but we're talking bean's chest and that ki super tall. You can't really see you right through it. So I do a lot of scouting with the drone as far as seeing where deer bedding and how they're using this trails going to the fields and stuff. And so grabbed the drone and I didn't have to for sixty seconds. It was plain as day. Um, once we got it up in the air, you can see kind of how the cardy is. I guess um ran him into the beans because a lot of beans were knocked over. We're able to recover him so pretty neat the first time. For me, you don't think you'd recovered that deer otherwise, I really don't. I really don't. We were trying to get ahold a dog and um, a lot of dogs. Was this hot, you know, it's pretty hard to work. We actually found him around I guess one or two o'clock. It was ninety six degrees out. We weren't able to save much of the meat at all. The cardies have done got most of him, so it was just just a recovery. But we're able to do, you know, thanks to that drone. That's a wild story. I'm glad I had a happy ending.

Rather, it looks consistent and consistent whether they're gonna be doing the same thing, and I'm gonna stick stick to the seven. It should keep on being just fine. Um here. When acorns start following's gonna change things up. But for right now, I think we're pretty consistent.
