1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,440
My I'm terrible. I'm like the least my wife will tell you I'm the least handy person in the world

2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:11,840
Like I don't know if I if I I try I look at youtube videos. I try to fix stuff and it's just not

3
00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:14,400
Good. I don't know my brain my brain is broken

4
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,600
in that regard but

5
00:00:18,560 --> 00:00:20,560
I've kind of given up. Yeah

6
00:00:20,720 --> 00:00:22,720
So we need people like you scott

7
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:27,920
Oh, no, I mean I got out of engineering as quick as I could but uh, yeah

8
00:00:27,920 --> 00:00:30,160
I I spent my time in it. That's for sure

9
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:35,360
But you are high on my list of places to flee to when the zombie apocalypse happens yourself

10
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:38,400
fortress

11
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:41,280
You have like a i'm coming i'm coming to washington

12
00:00:41,920 --> 00:00:46,880
Yeah, there you go scott can hunt elk. So we're fine. He can kill the zombies and feed us

13
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,520
I'm are you

14
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:52,160
I do I haven't for well

15
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:59,600
I haven't since I moved to massachusetts actually and I have hunt I went hunting probably eight years

16
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:03,520
Um just picked it up on my own with a brother of mine and I only

17
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:08,960
Got an elk two out of those eight years. So I am not that great at it. So don't count

18
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,040
elk elk

19
00:01:11,040 --> 00:01:14,160
Elk is its own thing. It's like because I have a bunch of

20
00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,280
Son, you probably know this a lot of people in like the jiu-jitsu martial arts world for whatever reason they're hunters, too

21
00:01:19,360 --> 00:01:21,360
I I feel like there's this weird

22
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:26,800
Crop, there's this like this venn. There's like a venn diagram at least in the u.s between like jiu-jitsu people

23
00:01:27,420 --> 00:01:30,640
hunters, uh, um, and then yeah, but

24
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:35,920
From what I heard deer deer hunting and elk hunting. I always just was like, uh, it's just hunting

25
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:42,480
But apparently it's far different like from the very beginning the the calls you use like the preparation you need

26
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:44,400
So that's really interesting

27
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:49,040
There are a lot more deer and they just kind of wander around everywhere and they're not that

28
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:55,280
They're not that hard to find like i've i've gone hunting when i've had both an elk and a deer tag

29
00:01:56,160 --> 00:02:01,120
And I i've never shot a deer in my life because every time I see a deer i'm like, eh, I don't really want to

30
00:02:02,080 --> 00:02:04,080
Yeah

31
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:09,280
They don't they don't taste that great like I don't want to carry that out

32
00:02:09,520 --> 00:02:13,680
And I I didn't want to give up on my shot for elk but elk man, they're amazing

33
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:19,280
Uh, but they are hard to find and they are heavy as shit. The the the

34
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Well, that's the thing that I like like the process if you're especially if you're hiking out into the middle of nowhere like the process of

35
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,560
Of getting that elk back to your vehicle

36
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:34,320
I mean, of course if you're like a fancy person you have like your like your your esc, you know

37
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,800
Entourage that's following you like all these these celebrity hunters

38
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:46,320
But from what i've heard like you have to like quarter quarter the elk and then like carry back the body parts in yeah in pieces

39
00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:51,840
Well, I mean, I mean even those celebrity hunters. So my favorite is

40
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,680
Stephen renella. He has a show called meat eater

41
00:02:56,800 --> 00:03:01,280
Some of the episodes are on his uh, some of the seasons rather are on his website

42
00:03:01,360 --> 00:03:05,360
But a bunch of them are on netflix and they kind of cycle through on netflix. They're really good

43
00:03:05,360 --> 00:03:11,680
But his whole thing is like he eats primarily wild meat that he goes all over hunting for a whole bunch of different stuff

44
00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:14,560
Anyway, they still have to carry it out

45
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:20,800
They just are in much better shape than I am because it's all they do the the last elk I got

46
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:26,080
It was me and one of my three little brothers and my best friend

47
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,440
I got this elk probably

48
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:36,240
24 miles probably four miles from uh, where we had parked my atv

49
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,240
and

50
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:43,600
I think it was a cow elk and I think it was the biggest cow elk I had i've ever seen

51
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,440
It was about almost as big as a bull. So it probably weighed

52
00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:50,080
four or five hundred pounds

53
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:52,240
and so

54
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:54,240
We you know, we

55
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,640
Cut it. Sorry, sudney

56
00:03:56,640 --> 00:03:57,760
um

57
00:03:57,760 --> 00:04:04,240
We we you know, we we skinned it and we cut it up and we start carrying all the quarters and the skin and head out

58
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:09,120
And my brother decides to take two quarters at a time thinks he's real tough

59
00:04:09,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Just up this here because it's it's steep country, too

60
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:16,320
So he gets two quarters at a time and just carries it up

61
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:23,600
Maybe I don't know two three hundred yards up to the top of this big mountain that I shot it off of because I shot downhill

62
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,600
And he gets to the top. He puts him down. He just pukes

63
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,320
Everything everywhere like he's just just puking from exhaustion

64
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:38,480
So funny and one of my favorite memories ever. I hope you got some pictures of that or video better yet

65
00:04:39,440 --> 00:04:45,440
I didn't I was covered in blood and hair and I was a little ways a little ways away and I was tired, too

66
00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,840
But we we got almost back to the atvs

67
00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:53,520
and me and my brother took most of the load because my uh

68
00:04:54,080 --> 00:04:56,400
Friend was a little bit behind us and so we had more

69
00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:03,360
And at the top of one hill, I literally passed out face down in the grass like in the dirt

70
00:05:04,240 --> 00:05:05,840
uh

71
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:06,800
like

72
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,400
Well, I mean like

73
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:14,320
I I had an office job, you know, like I lifted weights every now and then but i'm not like in great shape

74
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:20,880
To be hiking fucking hundreds of pounds of elk out miles up and down

75
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:28,560
Mountains, you know, so yeah, I passed out. I woke up and it and my brother everybody's gone. They had just kept going

76
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:34,960
And these two guys came along and they like helped us carry some of it and it was like almost dark and i'm looking around

77
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,680
There's like grass on my face. I was like, oh no

78
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,120
I gotta get to the uh, I gotta get back or i'm gonna die. I'm gonna be dead out here

79
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:46,640
There's like all these stupid ass sheep in the mountains that

80
00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:49,280
You know ranchers like graze out there

81
00:05:49,280 --> 00:05:51,280
You say this is Wyoming or?

82
00:05:51,280 --> 00:05:55,120
That was in utah. So all all my yeah, all my hunting's been in utah

83
00:05:55,120 --> 00:06:00,080
So when I left utah, I you know didn't have a lot of opportunity to hunt out in massachusetts

84
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,280
And then just haven't picked it back up since i've been here. I've been meaning to but hold a hernia and

85
00:06:06,320 --> 00:06:08,880
Yeah, all sorts of stuff. Yeah, I had a kid

86
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:14,160
My friend was supposed to bring me like just to watch bow hunting because actually my new project

87
00:06:14,160 --> 00:06:19,280
There's a bunch of hunting scenes and I know very little about i've never been a hunter myself

88
00:06:19,280 --> 00:06:22,720
So I was like I should probably learn about hunting before I write about this

89
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:26,160
Watch meat eater

90
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:28,160
Google up. All right. Uh-huh

91
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:34,720
If you don't have netflix, you can just go to their website the meat eater.com and they have a bunch of episodes that are

92
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,520
Uh bow hunting and they're they're the best

93
00:06:37,520 --> 00:06:39,920
Uh, my wife my wife will love that

94
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,560
Yeah, we have a hard enough time deciding what to watch on netflix already

95
00:06:44,560 --> 00:06:48,000
So if I add this to the mix and throw things in the chaos

96
00:06:48,000 --> 00:07:07,520
My wife is also not a fan of hunting and so that nor is my daughter. So that gets me into trouble sometimes
