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. This is episode number one and today the show. We're back with another rut radio episode in which we're getting real time updates from hunters across the country about current deer activity and behavior and the tactics that are working right now. All right, welcome to the Wired to Hunt podcast, brought to you by sit Ka Gear, and we are back for another one of our radio episodes in which we are checking in every week throughout the two thousand seventeen hunting season, chatting with your hunters from across the country to find out about the current deer activity, uh, current running activity, possibly is that starts ramping up dear behavior, current conditions, and how that's impacting deer. And we even get into the different types of tactics that people are trying right now, whether or not those are working, and then what we're expecting in the days to come. Um, so that's the game plan for today. We've been doing this for a few weeks already this season. I've already been getting people telling me about how it's been helping them. So that's really encouraging. Uh, And it means Spencer, you're doing a good job. Well, thank you. That's that's the idea. So I hope you're getting that kind of feedback. Yeah. Absolutely, And uh, I don't know, I know, we've got a good lineup for today's episode. I don't have a whole lot to share today, unfortunately from Michigan. As far as my report, I did hunt four days. Um, I guess, I mean, I guess I do have stuff to share. It's not necessarily exciting, but um, I'm look at me, I'm just like kind of going off on wild tangents in Michigan. My my radio report in Michigan was that we've had hot weather and lead to pretty slow dear movement, and it kind of looks like that's gonna be the case for like the next two weeks. Like our long term forecast for the most part is uh is pretty warm. There's a few little cold friends in there that might be spikes of activity, but in general, it's kind of a dire long term forecast for me here in southern Michigan at least. Um, what's what's going on up in your neck of the woods. Well, I couldn't tell you because I have not been out now in quite a while, so I am not Yeah, the great White Hunter kills the giant, that's right. I'm not accustomed to filling a tag in September, but that's what I did this year. So I do not have much intel on South Dakota. But for the rest of the country, the people I talked to this week, we have Brodie Swisher in Tennessee with bow hunting dot Com, then Justin Longclow with Louisia and a bowl hunter in Louisiana. Then we have Brett Joy in New Hampshire with Parallel forty three and Ben Harshine in Iowa with hunt Tera Mapping. Now all four of those guys, um kind of tell down the same two things right now. It's the food sources and the weather. There's been a change in the food sources. Um. You know, as you might expect, the oaks are becoming really popular. That's really been suppressing dear movement as far as visible dear movement, I guess. And then the other thing is the weather. Um. The people who give us favorable reports are like coming off of the cold front, and the people who give us poor reports are going to be going into a cold front, So you kind of have both ends of the scale there, um. And you'll notice that this week from Louisiana all the way to Iowa. Interesting. Well, that that certainly makes sense, and that's that's right in line what I've been seeing and from what I've been here and too. So I hope, I hope that next week I'm gonna have a good report for you and a good story to tell, because there is a cold front hitting tomorrow. Well actually when this podcast airs, it will be that day. There's a cold front hitting in Michigan. Temperatures are dropping from the day before by like at least where I'm at, by like thirteen degrees, and it's gonna be really rainy all morning and then stopping in the afternoon. And so I'm gonna sneak deep into a piece of public land that I scouted this spring and try to use that wind and rain to get in there undetected and setting set up close to a buckbed that I found this spring. So hopefully I'm gonna have a successful public land story for you next week. Yeah, in the Midwest. That sounds exactly like what Ben Harshin just talked about. He picked out Wednesday and Sunday as two days in particularly where the weather looks really favorable, and I think at this time of year you probably agree. But um, it's all about you know, playing the hand that's dealt to you. And so it's not being too aggressive if it's eighty five degrees during the day. Um, it's if you get a cold front, maybe hunting one of those better stands. But for the most part, the ideal scenario right now is probably just to hold out for another you know, week or two, until we hit better pre rut or until you know, better weather comes. Yeah, yeah, agree, or you know, if you if you you know, lots of people can only hunt when they got the time to hunt, and so that's what I always recommend is if it's poor conditions but you still want to hunt, just go to a piece of public land that you're not worried about messing up. Or if you've got several different pieces of ground you can hunt and there's one that you're not really expecting to try to target a buck, you know, go there and hunt for some doughs, or just go enjoy a nice night in the woods, but don't go mucking up your best stuff if you don't have you know, the right factors, the right conditions that could make it, you know, higher odds exactly. Well, hopefully you'll be listening to this on Wednesday, and uh somebody will have you know, a great hunter repoured on like we talked about in the episode. I think that's a good plan. I hope that happens for everybody out there. So Spencer, I will let you take it from here, all right, talk to you next week. Mark, thanks man. Before we get to our first update, though, let's pause to think our sponsors at sit GI Gear. For this week's sick of Story, we're joined by SITA ambassador Jess Deay Lorenzo, who tells us about harvesting our first Miriam's turkey. So we headed out to Nebraska, myself and um my media partner Jacob Condres, and we were hunting with Prairie Rock Outfitters out there. This was my first time archery hunting for Miriam's bird. I hadn't had one on my list yet, so um it was kind of a combination of a big game hunt and big game terrain mixed with turkey hunting, which was really exciting. Um We had spotted a couple of toms and tried to call them in and it was just not happening. And finally one night we uh found a roostree and set up nearby and the action was just incredible. There were so many birds coming in and uh I was able to get a shot off on one of the nicest times that came in. He played with the decoys and we got some great footage and I put a really nice shot on him, and then we just ended the night with the sun setting and the wild Cat Hills in Nebraska was my first Miriam's bird, which was super, super exciting. On Jesse's hunt, she was wearing sick a sub alpine camel in the women's line.

Okay and joining us on the line first this week is Brodie Swisher, the editor of bow Hunting dot Com. Now, Brodie and tennessee what would you say the deer activities ben lately on the scale of one to ten scale of one to ten, I would say, uh, we're probably we were probably in that. I'm gonna say five. Honestly, Uh uh just just with the transition. What we're seeing right now, Um, you know, call it the low, call it um just in my mind again, it's just that transition period. You know, we've had these uh bean fields, I yelled out for the most part. And uh so we're seeing that transition from the deer in the fields hammering the beans too. Now all of a sudden disappeared and uh and so um, you know those guys continue to sit there and and and you know they'll cry the crowd of tears about the low, but those of deer, honestly, they're just transition. We're seeing that activity that was out invisible from the optics and sitting there watching field and and the post positions out there. Uh. Now of a sudden, all of a sudden, they're they're not there, and they're just kind of slipping off. And it's uh for our area, our neck of the woods, it's it's white oaks dropping hitting the ground. They have not disappeared, they're not laying low. It's just they're moving on the food source. So so the visibility wise, it's gotten tough. Yeah. We uh we're in our second week, uh season now going in our third week, I guess now. And uh that first couple of weeks, we were seeing the bucks still batched up and uh tolerating each other, and then the velvet came off and and all of a sudden, they're just a different creature. And uh it began to see less and less of the big Bucks and uh those little bucks what we're seeing now out in the opening big Bucks have sleeked off a little bit, holding tighter to cover. So the activity, yeah, it's it's definitely backed off in the last two weeks since opening day. I'd say it's in that five to six range as far as activity, But it's just a matter of getting in there tighter to cover and finding that food source that they're heading right now. Well, Brodie, how aggressive do you think hunters should be in that area then? Uh, if they need to get a little deeper in the woods, yeah, man, I think it. You know, to me, it really goes on what they're finding from those trail cameras, you know, and I hate to get so locked into, uh, you know, relying on the trail camera but man, it is it's that recond it's that boasted recent information telling you what they're doing right now. And and the guy that's got that and that intel and can say, how you know what these deer are on this consistent pattern here, they can be a little more addresses you know. Um. But I think a lot of guys think, oh man, they're they're not in the bean fields, they're not out the corner stuffle. They've got to be off in the timber, and they just take off blindly, uh looking for that needle in the haystack, and take off through the timber. And I think they can do a lot of a lot of damage real quick when they just throw all regards to the wind out the window and just take off in that cover. But again, going back to those trail cameras, Um, that to me tells me I can be a little more aggressive. I know they're coming in and out here, they're using this food source here, and then therefore you can you can play that wind. But the guy that just takes off gets aggressive with no regard to wind direction and how they approach those uh timber food sources. I think there's a lot more harm than good. I still like to play play a little safe, you know, on this time of season, uh, mid early to mid October. Um, and unless I know I've got that that timber food source, those acorns, right, I know I can get in slipping the cover uh and not bust out. Um. You know, I'm gonna play a little more safe and back off again if I if I know exactly through trail cameras where I I know those gear doing how they're hanging out, and I can get around that that food source in the timber or that betting you're in the timber, uh not blow them out with the wind. Uh, then I'll get more aggressive. And uh. It's a great tactic early season, you know. But a lot of that again goes back to what you're seeing on that trail camera. Uh, that information you're getting uh and and and just being able to get in and out without busting that uh busting that cover and uh blowing them out too quick in the season. You know a lot of guys do that very thing and wonder where the deer went. But they've again just disregarding any of their wind directions and and just put too much pressure too quick on the on that particular deer. Now, are you personally hunting any mornings yet? Are you still strictly hunting evenings. Yeah, I've got a couple of places that i'll catch my my personal property. Here's fifty acres that I live on. It's just a little uh, mostly timber, and it's just a perfect funnel between agg country across the road, a field across the road and then a big bottom on the back end. So it's just it's just a perfect funnel for deer and I can slip in catch them coming back across the road. And so I hit some mornings around here, and that's how you know, it's honestly been it's been slow. You know, we've had beans yelled out quick across the road and and um, we just not have that keivity in the morning. So afternoons have honestly been where the activity has been from me. Very little action in the mornings, um, very little, you know, it seemed very little in the morning. So it's it's definitely been thus far as it's been afternoon hunts and in those agg fields. And again that's that's changing right now. I just hunted a corn stubble field the other night, and the deer have been there. It was adjacent to a bean field that they've been in real hard the first two weeks. And then again this corn field got cut and a lot of corn on the ground in the corn field. You know, it's going through the other night looking and so there's been you know, deer in that that failed every night last couple of nights. And so that's kind of where I shifted gears, coming off that yellowed out being filled, going into corn stubble, and then again just trying to pick off some spots where I can slip into the timber and um, you know, playing the wind and new it right and get into the timber and cut eat coast those white oak a few food sources. That's where they're between the corn stubble and white oaks. That's really where I'm seeing the activity right now. We're going forward in this next week or so. What do you think that dear activity is going to be then in Tennessee? You know, I think I think, guys, we're finally getting the first uh yeah, I don't want to even say cold snap because it's not cold snap, but it's going from eighty eight degrees we had yesterday tomorrow. It's gonna be down at the low seventies up leaped for the hide. So we're finally getting some of that cooler weather that I anticipated will help out. I mean, we've had deer uh and a lot of in a lot of situations. You know, my truck camps, I'm seeing deer running the night shift, you know, just almost doing the nocturnal thing, and and uh, a lot of other things is hot. A lot of that, I think because guys hammered it out the first week this season and because of that pressure and bumped them back. But um, I really love to see uh, you know, from the activity picking up some cooler weather. Um, and you know, food sources getting uh, concentrating those deer a little better. You know, you get you get bean fields and corn fields and and all the you know, all the food sources at one time, some white oaks dropping for someon and there's so much food. Oftentimes a deer don't have to go far, and the beans yellow out, and the corn gets picked and and uh some of those you know per simmons run out and it just gets to where, you know, now you can start to concentrate. Food sources are definitely more concentrating for those deer and you can start picking away at those those hotspots on where they are now instead of just the smartest bort of food form out there. Uh So, I think we're definitely gonna see that this next week is again cooler temperatures and then just as we ramp up towards the pre run, so based on you know, cooler temperatures and concentration on food sources, I think you know we're gonna be looking this next week or two, you know, bumping up to that seven seven out of ten as far as dear activity here in West Tennessee. All right, well, thanks for joining me this week, Rody, I look forward to talking to you on later in the season. Thanks Spencer, appreciate your time, all right and joining us on the line. Next is the founder of Louisiana bowl hunter dot Com, Justin line Cloth Justin and Louisiana. What would you say the deer activity has been lately on the scale of one to ten, I give it about a six and a half. We've had some extremely high temperatures here lately with the heat indecks and triple digits. Uh It's it's been extremely dry for about the past six weeks and uh, deer just aren't moving a whole lot during the day right now. Now you are located where at in Louisiana, justin what would you say the dear activity has been like in the rest of the state beyond your reach. I'm in southwest Louisiana now and the rest of the state A lot of the deer are still on their summer patterns. So some guys have been having some pretty good luck catching some big bucks that are still moving on the same summer patterns. Going back and forth between feet and betting. Now, what do the summer patterns look like in Louisiana as far as um, what betting is and what food is? Uh? For the bucks? The food is going to be uh, usually cutovers of some sort. Most of our area is consists of logging company property. Um, see you've got fresh cutovers, they're gonna have a lot of brows. The bucks will tend to hang out in that and and eat there as well. Know, it's been extremely dry the past few weeks, so the acorns will started to drop prematurely. Uh. And those are really good areas to key on as well. So besides the summer patterns, are you seeing some rutting activity in the state. Yes, absolutely. In my area, I've noticed the Tarso glands starting to get dark. Louisiana has a pretty interesting story. It was restocked back in the sixties with deer as far away as from Wisconsin, so you can hunt the rut pretty much. At any point between September and February, the southwest part of the state where I'm at, the deer will be starting to rut heavy literally any day. Are you seeing a lot of rut sign as far as scrapes and rubs right now, I'm not seeing. I haven't seen any scrapes or rubs in my area yet. I've seen some guys from other parts of the state reporting straits and rubs. Um, I said. The only rud activity I've seen is in my area. The bachelor groups have split up. UM. I was watching one group of about six bucks. Um they've they split up about a month ago, and UH and I have noticed that their Tarsa glands are getting dark as well. I've also noticed that the doughs have kicked out there. I've been watching a dough that's got a u a set of twin fawns and she's no longer with them, So I assume she's going to be going into estris here pretty soon. Well, what does the typical setup look like for you this time of year? Are you hunting mornings or more evenings? Uh, it's pretty much mornings right now, just because it's it's coolest. Uh. You know, the heat in deck is up over a hundred in the evenings, and some of my morning activity has been later morning. UM, so I've been able to get in and uh take advantage of the slightly cooler weather in the mornings. It's it's just too hot and too many mosquitoes right now out for me at this point. We do have a coal front coming through. Actually right now it's raining and I'm gonna have some so much cooler temperatures here over the next few days. Well, speaking of that cold front, do you think that's going to change the deer activity in this next week or so? And what do you think that's going to look like? On a scale of one to ten, Definitely, the weather changes is one of the most effective effective things to uh to hunt, especially here in Louisiana. Um, cold fronts here can be drastic. You know. We can go from being in the eighties and the nineties to being in the thirties or forties within a twenty four hour period. UM. I'd like to think in my area it's gonna bump it up to a seven or in eight. Um. As far as the rest of the state goes, it'll it'll bump it up as well. The cooler the temperatures, the more of that they're gonna be on their feet, especially during the daytime. Okay, justin Well, I hope you're able to take advantage of that cold front and good luck this year. Thanks all, I appreciate it. Before we get to our next call, let's stop to think our sponsors at White Tail Properties, and this week with white Tail Properties, we are joined by Brandon swar Slander, a land specialist out of Illinois, and Brandon is going to be telling us about what to look for when buying a property as a nonresident. I think most importantly, at first, you need to identify what it is that you're looking for in terms of whether it be investment, recreation, hunting, um, what you can afford, what you can't afford. And then I think the second piece of that would be to seek out some local knowledge and whether that's you know, a certified land specialist or or someone who really understands what's what's happening in in that world. And I think there are there are there are great residential agents, and there are great a land specialist who who and I think that there's there's certainly a difference between what they do and what they represent UM. But most importantly it's just trying to identify what it is that you want UM. Lots of people come and they say, well, I think I want to spend this this amount UM or I want to have this many acreage and and you just have to try and marry up those two. But again, I think most importantly it just falls back to finding someone who understands what it is in a given area. I mean, just take Illinois for example. That's a huge state, so it really it varies from what happens in the north from what happens in the south as far as how land goes, Prices different, UM, geography is different. So I think that's that's probably the best key, is to have someone who really understands those and and can help you find what you're looking for if you'd like to learn more and to see the properties that Brandon currently has listed for sale. Visit white Tail properties dot com. Backslash Swartzlander. That's s w A R t z l A n d E R all right, and joining us on the line next is host of Parallel forty three in New Hampshire. Brett Joy. Now, Brett, what would you say the dear activities? Ben Leley? On a scale of one to ten, I would say it's been a two or three um fide? Did you us? I think it's probably pretty difficult to get down to a one, but it's been pretty poor, so I'd go up to two or three right now? Why uh such a poor number? Is that something that is typical for early October for you guys? There is this a normal? Um? I'd say it's more typical and abnormal. The reason that it's um typical is because at least the last five or six years have had an exceptional mass crop, specifically red oaks in the areas that we hunt, and that really subdued dear movement. They don't have to move far to get food. UM typically are betting and feeding. Since we're in heavily timbered area, is is one and the same pretty much, so they're they're just getting up off their belly, moving ten yards, eating acorns and lying back down. So that's pretty typical of late September early October New Hampshire. But the thing is really subduing the movement on top of the mass crop is the weather. The weather has been above average I think most of the deer season so far. The first you know five or six weeks that it's been open, so um, they just aren't moving far that out with the mass crop. It makes for really tough hunting and really kind of poor dear activity. Now, how aggressive have you been then? If you know it's it's that tough to get close to de right now, I might personally haven't been that aggressive. I haven't been hunting much. I've been monitoring trail cameras. I think there's two schools of thought on this. One is to monitor your cameras, wait for a cold front until you start getting more daylight buck activity and then moving, or you can get aggressive early um hunt a bunch of different spots, hunt betting areas. Essentially, I've chose the first option just because I have one deer in particular I'm hunting now and I don't think he's going anywhere, So I just don't want to push some look too early in the season. Um So right now I'm waiting on a cold front and uh, I'm gonna go from there. Hypothetically speaking in that area, what have you had food plots or a different food source. Would the deer potentially be hitting that or do you think it's just acorns across the board right now? Um No, they're definitely some variety. They're not gonna eat, you know, only oaks, but it is definitely the number one thing they're keen in on. I have some food plots up here as well. I am getting pictures of some mature bucks on food plots, but it's the middle of the night, so I think that's kind of an afterthought at this point. Um it seems like right after, you know, the third week in September through the middle of October, red and white oaks or the number one food source. So that's gonna be what you have, what you can focus on. I mean, you could definitely probably kill a buck on a food plot or greenfield or maybe in a cut um, but I don't. I think that's more of the exception than the rule of this time of year. Well, are you seeing any scrapes or rubs. Um, you just talked about trail cameras a little bit. Where are those located at? Yeah? I have actually actually did some scutting yesterday, um, and I found some some fresh rubs and scrapes in the area that I was hoping to see them in. So Yeah, most of my cameras this time of year definitely on scrapes, either scrapes a deer made themselves or mock scrapes. And I'm I am starting to see that activity. I think that the warm weather is probably surpre U said a little a little uh more than normal. I usually see a little bit more than I am right now. But I think the next cold front should really ramp up that activity, should get those deer moving, um, you know a little more at night out exploring, whereas they just aren't going far right now. Now, going forward in this next week or so, what do you think the bucket activity is going to be like then? On a scale of one to ten, I think it's probably gonna be. Oh, I'd say it could get up to a six or seven. We have a cold front that's supposed to come in the middle of this week. When I say cold front. It's it's really just a cool front. It's only a few degrees below probably a seasonal average for this time of year. But since I've been in the seventies and eighties, these last you know, three four weeks, I'd say it's gonna get them on the feet. Um so I'd say it's gonna be pretty good. The only thing that's keeping it, obviously from being a little higher than that, maybe like a seven or f storry eight to ten would probably be the mass crop that's still gonna play a big factor and subdue their movement to an extent. So all right, Brett, Well, thanks for joining me. Look forward to checking out Parallel forty three on Carbon TV. Good luck this year. Thanks sponsor, you too, alright and joining us on the line. Last is Ben Harshein, the founder of Ontero Mapping and a land specialist for white tail properties. Now, Ben in Iowa, what would you say that dear activity has been lately on the scale of one to ten, I would I would say, with these different weather patterns and some cooler weather and some change coming in, you can be having some six, seven or eight. I would say, uh, you can have some really good sits, uh everything else in between. You know this this warm weather, it's no tourists for early October. I would say, you know, you're down at your twos or threes. UM, I think it's I don't say a waste of time, but you're you're hurting yourself unless you're you're hunting these these weather fronts that are coming through. UM. Specifically, what I like in the next ten days, we've we've had historically some really warm weather that UM is setting up. Any sort of precipitation or cool weather or UM a change in wind direction is interesting to me. Uh, I'll be out tomorrow night. UM, we're basically getting a lot of rain right now, and and UH we're gonna get a strong northeast wind tomorrow dying down as far as the wind speed around primetime. So I'll definitely be out tomorrow night, which should be Wednesday, and and then UM, the next the next weather that looks good to me will be will be Sunday. So UM, I know that what what guys are seeing right now, UH is a lot of Uh there's just a ton of acorns is a huge mass crop this year, at least in the heartland. And UM that can be preventing a lot of trail camp pictures of deer that you maybe expect should be there. Um, not a ton of movement, But the guys that are hunting food is either you know, seeing deer on acorns or green plots in the evening. All right, well, Wednesday and Sunday put it on the calendars Iowa listeners. But Ben, you were talking about the weather front making those couple of days so good so far in October. Have you got a chance to take advantage of some of those weather fronts. Um, let's see here, I've only got one sit in that would have been UM last Wednesday, I believe, UM, I really wanted to get out on Saturday. Last Saturday was I believe the best sit of the season so far for for here in Iowa. UM had a number of different clients that I have been in contact with and and some friends as well. UM, Saturday looked really good as far as how UM. The weather was was really stagnant and stale and warm all the way up into a bunch of rain Saturday morning. Things cooled off and some really heavy winds throughout the day leading into prime time where there's winds dropped down to fifteen to ten. Um, put a bunch of deer in front of people. I had really everybody that sat that night that I did, I know saw bucks. Two two of them killed to my contacts, killed and and uh um the other one saw mature deer out in out in the field. So that that was just a classic Uh. That was a classic scenario of of this warm weather setting up for for a cold front to come through or some precipitation or just some drastic change uh in direction of wind or whatnot. That was a really low pressure day, um, but deer were still out hot and heavy. So um, that's what I'm looking for in early to mid October. Now, with that good deer movement that some of your contacts, do you know if they were seeing any running activity yet as far as scrapes, rubs, sparring, any stuff like that. Yeah, we're pre pre rut um pre ruts not even the term yet, we're before that, but the beginning signs of you know, some scrapes um uh, scrapes pop in especially with this this rain that's coming through, and I would imagine they're gonna be a lot more visible and scratching the ground a lot more here in the in the coming days. UM My specific property as of last week just started to have a couple of scrapes show up. But um on on the other hand, I've talked to guys that have been seeing scrapes prevalent throughout some bigger ones where where they're at. So um, I would say that it's gonna be about that time where um, you know, more and more rubs are going to be showing up, more larger scrapes will be showing up, and and when you get some cooler evenings, you're gonna see at least some of the younger deer coming out and sniffing around. Um, some of these doughs in the in in addition to grabbing a bite to eat. But still too early to be talking pretty right yet, Well, it sounds like you like the forecast coming up. What would you say the dear activity and I, well, there's going to be on a scale of one to ten in this next week or so. Well, I would say, I'm gonna say Wednesday night, um is gonna be Um, I'll just shoot and say it's gonna be a seven. We'll go for a seven. I'm not really putting anything up towards a eight, nine or ten, you know, until we get closer to the end of October. But I would say you're looking at the seven on on seven or in eight on Wednesday, and then Sunday as well. Um got some warm weather leading into showers, uh, and then some pressure that will be rising Sunday into Monday. So let's put those into seven as well. All right, Ben, Well, good luck on those sits, and look forward to talk to you later this fall. Okay, Thanks luck, And that's gonna be at folks. And as you heard Ben say and a few other people, you know, we got that cold front coming across some of the Midwest right now. I know it's hitting for me today Wednesday as this podcast is dropping, So in just a matter of hours, I'm gonna be sneaking out into some public land. Fingers are crossed. And good luck to any of you that are gonna be hunting this week or weekend. I hope it goes well for you. So that said, I want to give a big thank you to our partners at SITKA, gear Y, Eddie Cooler's, Matthew's Archery, Maven Optics, the White Tailed Institute of North America, Trophy Ridge and Hunt terror maps. And finally, of course, thank you for listening. Thanks for taking some time out of your busy day to tune into the wire Hunt podcast. We appreciate it, and, like I said earlier, if you're hitting the woods, good luck and stay wired to Hunt.
