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 two hundred and thirty and today the show we have back for the third year in a row, our radio mini series in which we are getting from the field updates from all across the country on the latest and dear behavior, activity and conditions. All right, welcome back to the Wired to Hunt podcast, brought to you by Onyx, and today we are here for the third season of our radio mini series. We started this back in two thousands sixteen. It had rave reviews. We've kept it going and we are back now. I'm excited. And for those who are not familiar, we have Spencer Newhart. You probably know Spencer by now, but if not, he's a producer with the show and helps us run Runt Radio. And Spencer, you're back. Can you give us the once more the quick rundown of what we've got going on in these episodes, what we can expect here today and in the future. So with each episode, uh, these will come out once a week in the fall. All the way through January, and we're gonna be talking to hunters from across the nation, people who I really respect their opinion on white tails and want to hear about what they're seeing. And so I'm gonna talk to them and interview them and bring you, guys, um you know the intel that I think is super relevant about what they're seeing for buck activity and hopefully make it a piece of the puzzle for when you're out haunting this fall. And if you're trying to say between a couple of stand locations, uh, you know, maybe something can be pulled from these thirty minute podcasts that will help you decide on you know, what the deer might be doing. Well, I sure as hell hope that's the case, because I need a little bit of help. I've been hunt in the last three nights, haven't got it done yet. Do you have some information with our guests today that's gonna help me put narrow in Montana? Dere I. I think this will be pretty helpful because of the four hunters we talked to today, two of them tagged out September two kill and in August thirty feet kill. So you'll have to listen and see who we talked to that tagged out there, and we start in Nebraska with Derek Lininger from the Lindsay Way. Then we talked to Terry Hires from Blackwater Hunting Club in South Carolina. Then we go to North Dakota and talk to David g Arizo from Tagging Brigg and then we talked to Josh Honeycutt from real tree dot Com in Kentucky. Nice. I like it. We got kind of west, We've got the middle of the country, we got the South. Good job on that Spencer, Thank you. Now, Now what everyone's wondering though, I just spilled the beans and told everyone I haven't filled my Montana tag yet. Um, but is Lieutenant Dan dead? Have you killed Lieutenant Dan yet? I have not killed him. I've haunted two out of the last three nights since opener and have yet to lay my eyes on him. So we will see how that goes. But I am not super confident right now. But it's it's just a lot of fun to be out there and early September like this. It's just totally different, um on all your senses. So I'm having fun either way. And even if I don't kill Lieutenant Dan in early September here, I don't think that's going to close a book on on me getting a chance at that year. Well, I have lots and lots of questions about what You've been trying to do so far, and I've got a lot to share about what I've been up to so far, UM, But we're gonna save that stuff for the main podcast this week because on Thursday's episode, you, me, and Further are all going to spend the entire podcast talking about how our haunts have been going, what we've been doing, what we've been trying, what's working. UM. Josh actually just got to North Dakota today, so he's gonna start hunting tonight, so we'll have two hunts in the books by the time we record. UM, so last to share there. But I guess can I spend my typical or your typical question back at you really quick and just see in South Dakota so far, how has the movement been at a high level? Without giving away two men too much, I I don't have a ton of intel from my hunts. I'm hunting a fairly closed off area where I don't have a huge view of, um, you know, like the bean field that I'm hunting around, so my observations might not be a great representation of what's actually going on. But the weather right now looks really good for early September. Like this, this is what you would want. It's it's a cold front right now, and that's going to go through all the way early next week. And so I would say it's it's pretty good right now, probably a seven or eight, But I don't have great intel. How about you, Mark, what would you say? In Montana? Yeah, well, it's been probably like an eight or nine. I mean it's been really good. And I don't think that's because of any kind of weather factor yet, because it's been pretty hot. Um. But I've found this little tucked away a couple of pieces I've tucked away public land that are just really hard to get to that I just don't think anyone ever goes to. And because of that, these deer are very unpressured, very comfortable. Um. And I've also found the right food sources. So because of that, seeing great activity, and just haven't quite been able to get everything put together. But but it's looking really good. So probably an eight or nine. And as you mentioned, that cold from that hit today, so it's gonna be really good today and tomorrow, I think with those temperatures dropping high BEARO metric pressure. UM, so I feel I feel pretty good about things, about as good as I could ask for. So things are? Things are lining up nicely? Anything anything different? If you had to like summarize or cliff note what the rest of the guys have told you so far? Is that kind of what everyone's been saying? Or are we unique? No, a lot of people are, you know, around that seven or eight they feel for what the bucket activity has been and a very similar number for what they think it's going to be here. Um, we're kind of seeing some unique weather across the country and so that's playing a factor for what some of these guys are saying. UM. But they also have a lot of good food sources available. Um. And they've been doing pretty vanilla setups for the most part too, UM, kind of your typical early season field edge set up or hunting over water. So there are still some intricacies though to hunting this kind of year. And then they can pick up on some of those things from these four interviews. Awesome, Well, anything else we need to cover before you can take it away? With the interviews, I don't think. So let's get to our first guest all right. Before we get to our first update, though, let's take a break for a word from our sponsors at white Tail Properties. This week. With white Tail Properties, we are joined by Tom James, a land specialist out of Central Indiana, and Tom is going to be telling us about what to look for when your goal is to flip a property. Okay, great question. Um First and foremost, looking at a good county in your state, or even a good part of the county that is known for producing better quality deer, and that's typically easily found out in the in the state's record book program, So those counties are typically more highly sought after by buyers um as opposed to you know, maybe counties that are off out of that parameter. So number one, a good county, maybe even a better part of the county that is known for producing better deer. Secondly, I would look for property that you can pick up right at market value and slightly under market value, obviously as a home run, but make sure you do your homework, find out what the comps and local local land is selling for in that mixed recreational ground and that would be timber and maybe some pasture, some tillable ground mixed in. So number two good value at at the current market price, and number three look at uh sometimes. An often overlooked aspect of timber that people don't know a lot about is um the quality of the hardwood species that are on the property. If you can find eighteen inch and larger diameter trees in their specifically white oaks, red oaks, walnut, cherry, um, sugar maple, the white oak market is extremely hot right now, and anything above that is gonna that size range is going to return dividends that you could use the applying to paying the property back off and also doing some great habitat work in the process by opening up the canopy and getting some good habitat work going on in there. If you'd like to learn more and to see the properties that Tom currently has listed for sale, visit white Tail properties dot com. Backslash James. That's j. A. M. E. S alright, and joining me on the line first is Derek lining Or of Nebraska from the Lindsay Way. Now, Derek, on a scale of one to ten, what would you say the buck activity has been lately? Oh, lately, I'd say this last week it's been uh, probably seven out of ten it's hit or miss. I've been uh. This time of year, I really plan on the first six days of hunting season to uh capitalize because I leave that seventh eighth to get down to Georgia with the Jeff and David to uh hit the Georgian Georgia opener. So I really plan all my food plots and everything around these first six days. And ever since Nebraska opened their season up on September one, it's it's helped a lot, you know, get those bucks closer to velvet and they're still on their summer patterns. So right now, uh clover this first week. Actually the last four years, me and my wife have killed a deer on this exact same plot in uh out of the same tree stand, four years in a row. And so I would say, clover, uh this first week. If you don't have any beans around, beans, I think with trump clover, but in a section that I have, there's no other food besides my clover plot and a little off alfa, and I strategized and cut my clover about two weeks ago so i'd have a good regrowth and Uh, it paid off. Well. You killed an awesome buck there on the second sid of the season four. You in September two, tell us a little bit about that buck and about that hunt, you bet. So it's a deer that my son Cole called Slade. It's off a superhero movie, I guess, but uh, I'm not familiar with that one. But he called it Slade, and so I went with it. But there was a last year was a three year old, and uh in my area, you know, Jeff and David always preached five years or old there. But obviously they're their properties are a little well, more well managed and have better neighbors in the area where I live in southeast Nebraska, about twenty minutes from Lincoln, so it's very heavily populated area. I have actually have about six acres of state you know, public ground across the road for me and a lot of uh if it's brown, it's down neighbors. So if a deer gets to four for me, it's it's uh, it's considered a five year old in my area and in my opinion and whatnot. So you kind of I set my age structure based on, you know, the situations that I have here, but uh, but no, it was it's been raining since Saturday night, opening night. It was raining on me the whole time, and the deer moved a little bit, but I didn't see any bucks, and the bucks, the buck that I shot, actually didn't even show up on camera that night. I run spartan cell camera on this clover plot, and uh, always with an easterly wind, it didn't matter if it was southeast northeast, any easterly wind, he would usually show up in daylight. But Saturday night, opening night that wind, and uh, there was not much of a wind. It was just uh kind of calm, and I've noticed that deer don't like to move when it's calmer in my area. But and then the rain held him back. But the next day, Saturday or Sunday, when I killed him, there's a nice twelve twelve mom our wind and uh, straight out of the east, and it was a little bit of a cooler wind, and I just felt right. And the rain had it rained all afternoon up until the last two hours, and I think once we got that break, they got up on their feet and he was coming to a plot about eight fift with another buck that's a five year old that I had, and uh, they came walking down the trail at eight oh five, so a little earlier, and stopped at twenty six yards and I was able to make a good shot and recover them pretty quick. That was an awesome dear. No matter where you're at her, what kind of property hunts. So you know, I'd be static with a September second buck like that. Now you touched on it a little bit there talking about that hunts. But you guys have had some unique weather as of late. Tell me a little bit about those monsoon like conditions that you've experienced in Nebraska. Yeah, so since uh, since let's see Saturday evening, it's either rain between one and five inches in some of the area every single day. So and it's it's coming down right now again and we're almost that three inches just from last night. So it's been NonStop rain and the forecast throughout the day starting on you know when I was checking the weather last Saturday or on Saturday, you know, looking at this whole week, you know, the only week that I had to hunt solid before I start traveling in filming Jeff and David, Uh, it was rain every night and so I was a little nervous, and uh, thank god, you know, the one night that I I killed it, it didn't rain, So thank the Lord that you know, I got that opportunity. But yeah, it looks like rain NonStop. And uh, Kyle Carter or the other producer for US and land manager over at the at Iowa, the Iowa farm, he actually sat the other night and his brother's truck from when he got in the treat and got out, his brother's truck had water up to the headlights. So it's it's been NonStop rain here and it's it's gonna kill the deer movement for sure. I actually had the uck that runs with the one that I had harvested the other night. He was on camera at three am when it stopped raining. So I think if a guy can get some breaks at the you know, the magic hour in the evenings, that they're gonna be really good these next couple of days. But it's it's not looking like the rain is gonna stop for the next three days going forward. Then in this next week or so, what do you think that buck moon is going to be on a scale of one to ten in Nebraska? In Nebraska, I think you know the movement's it's still gonna be good. You're still gonna want to hunt if you've got good green beans. Yet there's depending on when the farmer got the beans in your area. If you've got a nice spot close to bedding or a hidden area that you know near some good bedding in timber, that he can still kill him on the greens. And if we get some cool fronts. I think tomorrow there's actually it's supposed to drop down into the sixties, high sixties, lower seventies, So I think these next couple of days, if it stops raining, a guy can really capitalize if he hunts, if he's got some good green plots, or if he's got good good green beans, that if he's got a buck that he knows is in the area, he could have a good chance. But there is also a lot of beans starting to turn in the southeast corner Nebraska. So I've noticed as soon as those beans turn a little bit, I mean automatically the deer shut off. So if you've got a good rat gratish plot or any sort of good green clover plot or a nice off off the field, you can hunt. I would definitely camping out over those the next couple of days. Yeah, so I think, you know, this next five days, it's supposed to stop raining Friday, and then into the weekend it's supposed to you know, get some better weather. So I think, you know, anywhere from a seven to a ten out of ten these next couple of days, if the rain stops the movement, the bucks are just starting to shed, they're still you know, I think they've still got a good week or so of summer movement and before they start getting hard horn brain and moving all over all over the county. Congrats again on the great deer and thanks for joining me, Derek. I look forward to seeing some little lindsay Way work this fall, all right, Thank you, sir, all right, and joining us on the line. Next is Terry Hires from Blackwater Hunting Club in South Carolina. Now, Terry, what would you say the buck activities ben Leley on the scale of one to ten, well, one to ten if you're talking about it, you know, a week or so ago, we were probably up there around i'd say around seven percent, maybe eight. Now, uh, seems like after these bucks shed the velvet, we go into a little bit low and we're we're probably around the five scale on the scale of five. And you know, and I don't know what the reason for it, but it seems like when these bucks shed their shed their velvet, they just they start splitting up a little bit and um, you know, start rubbing trees and but but they're not near as active. Um is generally only in the late September early October before they uh start getting moving a lot. You know, in this part of the country, we we've got eleven thousand acres were only on eight people a day and um we probably said me five percent wooded and the rest of its agriculture and most of that being peanuts caught and corn, uh soy beans, that type stuff. Now, you guys have the unique opportunity to hunt starting August fifteenth there in South Carolina. How is the hunting change from August fifteenth until now? Do those setups look similar? Are you hunting a lot of the same patterns that that those deer head back? Then? We do hunt the same patterns. And you know, we're a little different than some states because we can, you know, because we can put out corn and that type stuff, and our our road systems, you know, we were pretty flat with our road system. Uh, you know pretty much you can every three or four yards you can drive driving. You know, if a deer runs off, if you try them, you can get into another road. So you know, we don't have to put the hunters out and uh, you know routy man, we can basically drive right to our stand. That's a big sparse it it helps, you know, with the human scent um, you know, we can we can try. I've seen some talk lately of hurricanes are on Florida, and you know that's always a threat to you guys are in South Carolina. How does that affect the deer hunting? When those hurricanes started moving up the coast. Well, you know, weather always, you know, a change in weather can be a good, good thing. I mean, we get these these showers in here and cool things off. You know, these deer, I mean they're great. We're reading this weather, so you know it usually it usually helps us. Now if it gets rain and nasty and it'll shut them down for a while, and as soon as it you know, kind of clears back up, they'll they'll turn back on. And of course, I think most people know with the deer hunting, especially when you get into the cool weather. If you if you get a rain and a good rain, and after that it cools down the next day and it clears up. Man, that's that's just jimmy. When when they're on for sure we'll going ward than in this next week or so. What do you think that buck activity is going to be on a scale of one to ten? Well in the next week or two, Well will still be in the September. I mean it should get better if if if we're around the five or six, now get up there, six, six and a half. How wouldn't want to put much more than a seven because I don't want to miss lead anybody on that possibly eight, but you really just don't say the good buck numbers. Uh, it's see in a plasta seven mark to probably get into um like I said about the fifth to ten to October. All right, Well, thanks for joining me, Terry, and good luck to your hunters there at the black Water Hunting Lodge. Thank you, Spence, I appreciate the coal. Joining us on the line. Next is David Gizo from Team Tagging Brigg in North Dakota. Now, David, what would you say the buck activity has been lately on a scale one to ten. Honestly, this last week i'd probably say it was it was about a six out of ten UM. I actually I got lucky and shot a buck on opening night of North Dakota season on Friday. But since then the buck activity has gone pretty nocturnal. On the bucks at least that we're observing, seems to be splitting up a bit. We had, we've had a couple that have turned hard horn, so I think you know, their hormones are kicking in, um, They're starting to feel a little bit different, and the bachelor groups right now are starting to split up a little bit. On top of which, the weather up here has been average to a little bit warmer um so the daily activity in general for the deer, because it hasn't been the greatest over the past couple of days for sure. So that's kind of where we're at right now, hoping that things change over the next few days as we've got a cold front rolling in here. Tell me a little bit about that hunt where you killed that buck on August thirty. Yeah, so we we actually we came up here probably three weeks ago and set UM eight eight trail cameras up and on this particular spot. We've had three what we call shooter box four and a half plus year old deer coming in on a pretty regular basis, so we had higher hopes going into the hunt. Although like I said, it's been a little bit warm in a few days prior to the hunt. Um, there was not a whole lot of buck activity. And honestly, I think we just we just timed it up perfect on one of those one of those nights where it was just right and we saw a lot of deer. I mean we saw probably ten to twelve year before we saw him, We saw one of our other shooters before we saw Um. I think we had we had two bucks that were literally right under us for probably twenty minutes that really kind of held us hostage in the stand for a little bit. Um. But for whatever reason, these deer were up on their feet early that night. Um, it was a little bit cooler, and it was a little bit breezier. Uh. But nonetheless, like I said, the deer were coming from all different directions we were hunting, Uh, the edge of a soybean field that basically connected to a big finger of of a of a tree row, and the deer typically come from the back side of this soybean field out of these slews, and they worked their way through the soybeans and then they just kind of feed up and down the tree rows. Is what we've really observed over the last couple of years coming up here. Honestly, this has been one of our better spots over the last few years. So that was gonna be our tactic going into day one. And you know, it just so happened that we got lucky and and one of those shooter box came across the beans and literally read the script. I mean he ended up yards um, made a perfect double one shot and he fell within sight um and a matter of a second. So it was, honestly, for me, it was a dream true. I've I've never shot a velvet box before, but think dear today along with shooting the velvet box, so to to start off the season, as you can imagine, we're on cloud nine right now. Yeah, that was a textbook set up. It looked like the shot was great. The set up was like your ideal you know, early season stand location and and everything came together for you. Guys can check out that video on tagging Briggs facebook page and one of the cool things about these guys and why I enjoy following them is the quick turnaround time. Like you shot that deer on Friday, and I think it was by Saturday you had you know, fully edited produced video of that haunt up and and so it's really unique to to what you guys are doing now. I know you've been running some show came is there for a while. Tell us a little bit about what you've learned from from having those up for the last month or so. You know, it seems like we're in we're in that kind of finicky period right now where the box are starting you kind of feel their dominance. They're starting to a lot of them are getting hard horned right now. Some of them may be losing velvet, and they're starting to go from like bachelor groups to like, I don't know if I want to hang out with you anymore, you know what I mean. So it's it's it can be a great time of the year to hunt, and also it can be very tough because some of the bucks we've been watching for the last three weeks five days, and that's frustrating because you know what you're you're anticipating this coming out here and feeling good about coming out here, and all of a sudden, you know, two to three of these other shooters are just M I A. And so right now what we're trying to do is just shift the trail cameras a little bit um. You know, it could be a hundred two hundred, three hundred yards one way or the other, and all of a sudden that shooters buck may pop up again, But right now it's just it really seems like the bigger bucks at least are kind of splitting off of the echelor groups, or at least they're starting to and they're starting to kind of go on their lonesome and and and do their own thing as they shed their velvement. So it's like I said, right now, we're just trying to play the weather and uh and trying and get lucky again and get one of these shooters coming out to one of our thoughts going forward, Then in the next week or so, what do you think that bucket activity is going to look like on a scale of one to ten in North Dakota. You know, I really think over the next couple of days, for like specifically, it's gonna be probably right around that eight out of ten mark. Um, I think the next couple of days is going to be the best hunting days of our whatever week to ten days up here, because the weather has finally switched. So we had we had temps in the high seventies, low eighties for the first you know, three to four days of the hunting season, and now we have highs in the upper sixties. It's getting down to the orties at night. So as soon as that sun goes down, I mean, it cools down quick when you're in the stand, and I really think that's gonna play a huge factor. Um. I am kind of foreseeing that these somebody's box, some of these shooters that we haven't seen in four to five days or so, are gonna reappear and it and you know, we shouldn't be hesitant hunting the spots that we've hunted over the past couple of days where we haven't seen a lot, because I think they're gonna return to those spots based on you know, the water, with the weather patterns, the pressure being high and all the overall cooler temperatures. Well, great inside, David, thanks again for joining me. Congrats on the velvet buck. I appreciate you having me on Spencer thanks a lot alright and joining us on the podcast. Last is Josh honey Cut with Real Tree dot Com out of Kentucky. Now, Josh in Kentucky, what would you say the buck activity has been lately on the scale of one to ten. Uh, From what I could tell, it's been like a free three and a half. It's been pretty poor daylight activity so far. Um. You know, there have been some people in Kentucky it's had some early success I had to expect regardless of the temperature. You know, there's always some success you know, that first week of the season, just because of the patterns that some of the deer are still in. Um. From my perspective though, what I have seen for the first few days of the season, UM, it's it's been a little tougher this year than normal. We've got a lot of patrons on this surties. The mass crop is a lot heavier this year, and believe it or not, it's actually started dropping already. UM. You know, there's uh so there's a lot of challenges which you know heavy get mass prop is good for the deer. Obviously that's good for the deer. Uh. But it makes the hunt and tough, and you know those those I've noticed a big shift. You know, I do a lot of scouting for a lot of trail cameras, and there was a huge shift about a week ago, about five or six days before the season harded. A lot of the deer that I've been watching on the different properties that I hunt, they just, uh, you know, immediately change all at once, within about forty eight hours, um, not all of them, but a lot of the beer that I've been keeping tabs on, they just they changed their patterns up, you know, almost overnight. So it's almost like that mass crop has started dropping, I believe. And the temperatures have been really what's that what's hurt us as much as anything, but had really stagnant hot temperatures, no fluctuation whatsoever. And as as you know, you know, that's that makes something tough. Under those circumstances with warm weather and a big mass cup, big mass crop, what would you say would be an ideal set up right now? Then to get them ature buck on the ground. You know, it's tough because you know, generally speaking for this part of the country, you know, especially to the places that I hunt, and uh, you know, you usually can pretty much bank on those deer being in there summer patterns that you've even been watching them on and following them on, you know, in June, July, August. Uh, they usually carry those into the first week at least the first week of September. UH, sometimes as late as the tenth of the fifteenth. So it's it's really made it a little more difficult this year. UM. And you you you gotta relearn the deer. You've got to relearn them. You've gotta figure out what their new patterns are. UM. I think a lot of those new patterns are. Uh, they're hugging a little tighter to the beds. I don't think they're getting up from their beds quite as early of an afternoon because the hot temperatures. UM. I think they're pretty much hugging and hugging the timber too because of the mass crop, you know, and you know they're already dropping. I've talked to a lot of people and everybody's hearing acrens at the ground right now. So, UM, it's that coming year where that shift happens. So you gotta get back in the timber with them, because you know, uh, for a lot of places around here. Up here can pretty much stand up out of its bed and immediately start eating uh eating mask. So uh, you just gotta get in tight to the beds. You know. It's a risk first reward type thing where you gotta you gotta get in as tight as you can without bumping them. But that's really what it's gonna take. And with these hot temperatures, if you don't have it here that's moving in daylight right now or at least in the afternoon. Um. You know, it kind of goes against a lot of the things that you hear that you read. Um. But you know, hunting mornings can be productive early season as long as you do it intelligently, into it wildly. So if you were to do a morning set up, then what would that look like? Well, it really depends on the situation. Every every situation. There's certain farms that I just would not hunt mornings this time of year simply because you can't get in there without spook and deer. But if you have a good entry and exit roots that you can use uh to get into a spot, Uh, that's that's gonna gets you to the tree s damn without bumping dere um you know that might you know, there's a lot of different scenarios out there, but one particular scenario might be, uh, you know you're gonna be closer to the beds you obviously you don't want to get out almost set sources in the mornings because you're gonna bump deer off. So you definitely want to be back in the cuff, back in uh, back and cover a little bit deeper than you normally would be. Uh, you don't want to travel past um big food sources on your way to this dand because you've risked off the deer. So so it is tough, especially early season, trying to get into a a stand location of a morning without bumping deer. But if you've got a spot that you think you can get to, um that's close to a betting area, that might be a staging area. It might be a you know, an oak flat that deer travel through as they you know, go from bigger food sources back to their betting areas. If you've got to assist a situation like that or a similar scenario, uh, it might pay to do something like that of a morning right now. Ordinarily, right now we'd still find bachelor groups hanging out together. Are you seeing that in Kentucky? In I'll tell you, it's been a weird year for me. UM. Typically, almost always our bachelor groups remain intact until about you know, the middle of September anyway, you know, I usually don't see the first bachelor groups breaking up until about September ten, twelve, and some of them even hang around into you know, the middle of September and even the end of September. I have even thing which is obviously the other end of the spectrum, But I've seen bachelor groups last into the middle of October, which is which is rare too. But this year it's been a little different. You know, the deer have started breaking up a little bit more. There's a particular deer I've been watching all summer long because that's there that I wanted to target in that deer just completely. He was on a heavy, heavy pattern, consistent pattern up until about the last week, uh leading up to this opening day. So up until about last Monday or Tuesday, he was on a really consistent pattern and then just changed overnight and he had been run with two other bucks and that bachelor group split up right whenever that Uh, that shift that changed, that transition happened, and that deer has been running on his own for the last week's per so. So those Batchelor groups, I think, for whatever reason, they're but starting to bust up a little bit earlier than they typically do this year. Going forward, then this next week or so, what do you think that bucket TV is going to be on a skill of one to ten in Kentucky. I don't think it gets any better than it is right now. Um. You know, and there might be some people out there who are seeing something completely different than I am. There might be you know, they might be night and day. You know, my situation is may be completely different from what others are experiencing. UM. Hearing a lot of the same though. But I don't think it gets any better. If anything, I think it gets worse. Um, because you know, I've looked at the forecast in the next ten days, it's you know, consistent highs, consistent loads, there's hardly any variation and temperature. The only thing that we really got going for us in the next ten days is there's gonna be a lot of weather events and there's a lot of you know, you know, some people think you know out there say that you know rain events will encourage your movements, I'm gonna say they don't. Uh something else can you been onto? Are these hurricanes that are coming up through the golf Because if those hits just right, that can give us a little bit of a cold shot, a little bit of a cold front or dropping temperatures as those passed through. So that's something to keeping on. But if the temperatures remain staggnant and they stay hot, um, it's just gonna be tough. And I'd say that dear activity is gonna remain about us three or three and a half and maybe at four best for the next few, uh a few days leave, you know, up to the next seven or ten days. Well, I hope things turn around for you down there, and I always enjoy talking to you and hearing your reports.
