00:02:47,720 tonight we've got a decently special guest, I guess you could call him. 37 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:48,720 If you call him that. 38 00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:52,200 Yeah, I don't know, I mean, we might be scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to figure 39 00:02:52,200 --> 00:02:57,000 this guest out and who to get on here, but we've got one for you guys. 40 00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:02,840 So tonight we are going to be talking with my middle-est boy, Colton Roarvik. 41 00:03:02,840 --> 00:03:04,680 Colton, how are you tonight buddy? 42 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:05,680 I'm good. 43 00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:06,680 Doing alright? 44 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:07,680 Yeah. 45 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:08,680 Are you nervous? 46 00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:09,680 Kind of. 47 00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:10,680 Yeah. 48 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:11,680 Well, you better. 49 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:12,680 How old are you Colton? 50 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:13,680 I'm 12. 51 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,680 Well, you better scoot up to the mic there so we can hear you. 52 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:18,160 There it is. 53 00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:20,560 12 years old. 54 00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:27,200 So for the listeners a little bit, me and Bryce were kind of going over and over and 55 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,280 over about what we were going to do for our next podcast. 56 00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:38,600 I had this thought with Bryce really pushing this youth hunt and with Nicky doing such 57 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:43,800 a good job and putting together prize packages and everything, I thought we would do a youth 58 00:03:43,800 --> 00:03:50,560 spotlight and what better person to do it with than somebody that's won quite a bit. 59 00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:58,740 He's right there in the household, easy to get to and furthermore, it goes right along 60 00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:02,920 the lines of what me and Bryce talked about in the very beginning and that is creating 61 00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,840 memories and what better way to create a memory between the dad and his son than to get him 62 00:04:07,840 --> 00:04:10,440 on a podcast and talk about it. 63 00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:11,440 Yeah, man. 64 00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,440 I'm pretty pumped about it. 65 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,600 So the hunt that Bastrom just referenced there that Nicky and I have been putting a ton of 66 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:22,640 work into is the Indiana State Youth Hunt and when this episode airs, that hunt will 67 00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:24,240 be tomorrow. 68 00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:29,760 So this episode is going to come out on Friday, July 12th and that hunt is going to be on 69 00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:30,960 July 13th. 70 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,960 That is the Indiana State Youth Hunt, the UKC, Indiana State Youth Hunt. 71 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:40,800 So we're going to dive into that here in a little bit as far as when all that is going 72 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:46,800 to be, all the information for times, deadlines, the events that are going on, what all we've 73 00:04:46,800 --> 00:04:48,760 got going for prize packages there. 74 00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:52,360 But like Bastrom said, we kind of wanted to get somebody on here who's been in the youth 75 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,680 series for quite a while. 76 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:55,680 He knows what he's doing. 77 00:04:55,680 --> 00:05:00,700 This kid was hunting before I came along and it's just been really fun to watch him grow 78 00:05:00,700 --> 00:05:03,560 in how he's been hunting and the dogs that he's handled. 79 00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:10,000 And you know, when I came along, I mean, heck, he wasn't what, eight years old? 80 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000 Something like that? 81 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:12,000 Yeah. 82 00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:13,000 Yeah. 83 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,480 So, you know, I think he was eight, just getting ready to turn nine and now he's 12. 84 00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:20,800 So been around for a few years and Colt, why don't you tell us a little bit about like 85 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,920 your first memories of you hunting? 86 00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:26,640 Do you remember like the first time you went hunting or who you went with? 87 00:05:26,640 --> 00:05:29,040 Yeah, I was with my grandpa. 88 00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:37,120 It was me, my grandpa, my brother, and we went to the woods hunting with a leopard dog 89 00:05:37,120 --> 00:05:39,840 we had named Shady. 90 00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:43,280 And back then I didn't even have a light. 91 00:05:43,280 --> 00:05:44,280 You didn't have a light? 92 00:05:44,280 --> 00:05:45,280 What would you hunt with? 93 00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:46,280 I had to walk by my grandpa. 94 00:05:46,280 --> 00:05:47,280 He had a belt light. 95 00:05:47,280 --> 00:05:50,000 And you just had to walk right next to him? 96 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:51,000 Yeah. 97 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,520 For the listeners, let's break it down to which brother? 98 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,720 Because we know y'all the Brady bunch and y'all got plenty of them. 99 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:00,720 So Wyatt. 100 00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:03,880 So that would have been Wyatt. 101 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:06,160 So Wyatt's the oldest of the brothers and you got Colton. 102 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,440 He's the middle list, that's what I call him. 103 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:11,080 And then you got Owen, he's the youngest. 104 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:16,000 And you guys have been hunting as a family for a long, long time. 105 00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:21,040 There's pictures of you guys being toed around on your mom's back, like little possums. 106 00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:24,560 Did she used to to you through the woods? 107 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:25,860 I don't remember. 108 00:06:25,860 --> 00:06:26,860 You don't remember? 109 00:06:26,860 --> 00:06:29,000 Yeah, for Owen, yeah. 110 00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:34,040 I know she used to to Owen around, but I figured she would have done the same for you. 111 00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:35,040 I don't know. 112 00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:36,040 All right. 113 00:06:36,040 --> 00:06:38,440 So Coon hunting is in your blood. 114 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,440 Tell us a little bit about maybe your grandpa and the dogs that he used to run, maybe the 115 00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:46,160 line of dogs that he used to hunt and he started with. 116 00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:50,880 Wabash River Coon hounds. 117 00:06:50,880 --> 00:06:52,800 He was into red bones. 118 00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:58,320 Do you remember the red bone that he did a bunch of winning with? 119 00:06:58,320 --> 00:07:00,280 There's one named Tarzan. 120 00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:02,560 That's the only one that I can remember his name. 121 00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:04,280 That's the one I was thinking of Tarzan. 122 00:07:04,280 --> 00:07:05,280 Yeah. 123 00:07:05,280 --> 00:07:07,080 So how did you get into Walker dogs? 124 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:13,040 Because as long as I've known you, you've been a Walker man. 125 00:07:13,040 --> 00:07:17,520 That's just the first dog I got. 126 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:21,600 So OK, so you hunted the leopard that your grandpa had to Shady. 127 00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:25,320 That's the one you kind of say, actually, that's my first dog I had. 128 00:07:25,320 --> 00:07:29,600 OK, and she was a multi-purpose hound, correct? 129 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:30,600 Correct. 130 00:07:30,600 --> 00:07:34,480 You could take her to all the events and you can compete in everything. 131 00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:35,560 Is that something that you like to do? 132 00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:37,240 Do you like to compete in all the events? 133 00:07:37,240 --> 00:07:38,840 Yes, yes, I do. 134 00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:44,560 OK, so guys, when we say all the events, when we go to these UKC hunts, Colton is the kid 135 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,000 that will have us paying entry fees for everything. 136 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:54,200 And that is the bench show, the water race, the trein contest, the night hunt, the field 137 00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,520 trial, all the above. 138 00:07:56,520 --> 00:07:58,640 Colton is going to be in the middle of the action. 139 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,360 So Shady, could you enter her into all those events? 140 00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:02,360 Yes. 141 00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:04,600 And which one was she best at? 142 00:08:04,600 --> 00:08:05,600 The water race. 143 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:06,600 Water race. 144 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:07,600 That's interesting. 145 00:08:07,600 --> 00:08:08,600 That's Basham. 146 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,240 What was your favorite event whenever you were going to the youth hunts? 147 00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:18,200 Oh, I'm a lot like Colton, except for there was one. 148 00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:20,840 The roll cage. 149 00:08:20,840 --> 00:08:22,200 You have not mentioned it. 150 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:23,200 The roll cage. 151 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:24,200 The roll cage. 152 00:08:24,200 --> 00:08:25,200 Yeah. 153 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:26,600 I don't know what that is. 154 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,080 See, that's before his time. 155 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:29,640 Yes, it is. 156 00:08:29,640 --> 00:08:37,720 So what the roll cage is, Colton, is back whenever I was young, UKC hunts, every UKC 157 00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:41,320 hunt was like what you're about to experience at the youth days. 158 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:42,640 It was an all day event. 159 00:08:42,640 --> 00:08:43,760 You had field trial. 160 00:08:43,760 --> 00:08:45,840 You had training contests. 161 00:08:45,840 --> 00:08:47,600 You had bench shows. 162 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:49,280 You had it all. 163 00:08:49,280 --> 00:08:51,840 And then we had the roll cage. 164 00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:57,880 And what you would do is you'd take a roll cage, a circular cage with a cone in it, and 165 00:08:57,880 --> 00:09:04,120 you'd spray a dot on the ground and you'd take 10 foot tape measure and you'd put it 166 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:10,520 on the dot and then you'd make a circle all the way around the dot, spray painting a line 167 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:14,600 and you'd hold the dog outside of the circle. 168 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:20,320 And when the judge said, go, you turn your dog loose and the dog that could get the roll 169 00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:25,020 cage out of the circle, the fastest was the winner. 170 00:09:25,020 --> 00:09:30,020 So we had this old blue tick and he never lost a roll cage contest because what he would 171 00:09:30,020 --> 00:09:37,640 do is he'd take off running and he hit that roll cage right where the metal hits the dirt 172 00:09:37,640 --> 00:09:43,600 and that roll cage would fly in the air and literally it'd be out of the ring in about 173 00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:46,560 a second after we turned him loose. 174 00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:48,880 That's like jumping a cue ball at a pool table. 175 00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,920 Yes, exactly what it looked like. 176 00:09:51,920 --> 00:09:53,520 Exactly what it looked like. 177 00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:01,800 But the first time I remember Colton was actually at the EKC hunt up at Russ Beller's silo. 178 00:10:01,800 --> 00:10:02,800 Funny story. 179 00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:03,800 I'm going to jump in here. 180 00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:05,440 You met Colton before I met Colton. 181 00:10:05,440 --> 00:10:07,240 Yes, I did. 182 00:10:07,240 --> 00:10:08,520 He was hunting Shady. 183 00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,520 Yep. 184 00:10:09,520 --> 00:10:11,560 It was me, him. 185 00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:12,560 I don't remember. 186 00:10:12,560 --> 00:10:14,080 Oh, no, no. 187 00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:22,680 It was me, him, Van Cleek and his boy and oh, kickstart my heart. 188 00:10:22,680 --> 00:10:26,480 Nick Brady, Nick Brady, Nick Brady and his boy. 189 00:10:26,480 --> 00:10:28,320 And Nick was hunting his dog. 190 00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:33,280 They didn't last too long because he shot through the world and got over on a busy highway 191 00:10:33,280 --> 00:10:36,560 and his boy was only like, what was he? 192 00:10:36,560 --> 00:10:39,000 Colton at that time, like three or four. 193 00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:44,520 So I mean, he was young and I was hunting a rock. 194 00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:46,720 Is that when Jocelyn was handling for you? 195 00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:47,720 Yep. 196 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:50,400 That's when the champ Colton, do you remember that hunt? 197 00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:53,080 Yeah, I was like my third hunt. 198 00:10:53,080 --> 00:10:54,440 Well, dive into it for us. 199 00:10:54,440 --> 00:10:55,800 What do you remember about that? 200 00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,680 What do you remember about Basham the first time you met him? 201 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:01,360 And don't think just because you're on the mic, you can't speak your mind. 202 00:11:01,360 --> 00:11:03,360 You just go and tell it how it is. 203 00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,960 I didn't, I don't really remember him. 204 00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:10,040 How do you not remember this guy? 205 00:11:10,040 --> 00:11:13,000 He's big, he's loud, he's obnoxious. 206 00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:14,000 How do you not remember him? 207 00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:15,000 I don't know. 208 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:19,440 It wasn't a very eventful hunt. 209 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:22,000 It really wasn't. 210 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:27,360 We cut the dogs loose and Nick Brady's dog shot through to the right. 211 00:11:27,360 --> 00:11:34,640 Shady and Rock and another dog. 212 00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,240 No, Van Cleek was actually the following night. 213 00:11:37,240 --> 00:11:38,400 Van Cleek wasn't that night. 214 00:11:38,400 --> 00:11:42,240 We were hunting a red bone, a leopard, rock and Nick Brady's dog. 215 00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:44,420 We went into the first tree. 216 00:11:44,420 --> 00:11:49,400 They had a coon, but oh Shady decided it was hot. 217 00:11:49,400 --> 00:11:54,760 And Shady wanted to be down in the creek cooling off instead of up on the tree. 218 00:11:54,760 --> 00:11:56,440 So Colton was like, what do I do? 219 00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:01,600 I said, well, buddy, I said, if it is, if the dog would come up here and bark on the 220 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:04,720 tree, I said, I'll let you go on and handle it. 221 00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:11,400 But Shady just kept running in the creek cause it was, it was scorching that night. 222 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:17,000 And the next night we got poured on, but that night we treat that cone and then we made 223 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:19,840 two, two more charcoal trees, but that was it. 224 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:20,840 Yeah. 225 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:22,160 So, so that was your third hunt. 226 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:27,880 And since then you went on to take this coon hunt and stuff pretty serious, huh? 227 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,320 Yeah. 228 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:34,780 Like if you had to rank coon hunting against their other sports that you play wrestling 229 00:12:34,780 --> 00:12:37,980 and football, where would you put coon hunting? 230 00:12:37,980 --> 00:12:39,680 Number one. 231 00:12:39,680 --> 00:12:40,680 Number one, out of everything. 232 00:12:40,680 --> 00:12:43,120 If you had to do everything else, you'd be a coon hunter? 233 00:12:43,120 --> 00:12:44,120 Yes. 234 00:12:44,120 --> 00:12:48,040 Do you think that's genetic or do you think that's just because your mom and I now hunt 235 00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,080 so much? 236 00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:53,760 Uh, both probably. 237 00:12:53,760 --> 00:12:57,280 I mean, I like it. 238 00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:58,680 It's enjoyable. 239 00:12:58,680 --> 00:12:59,680 Really fun. 240 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:01,440 You like having a big dog. 241 00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,440 Yeah. 242 00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:03,440 And you're pretty competitive. 243 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:10,680 So guys, I asked Colton before this podcast started to write me down a list of some of 244 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:15,780 his biggest accomplishments and we're going to, we're going to dive into some of these. 245 00:13:15,780 --> 00:13:18,000 But first let's switch things up. 246 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:19,360 Let's, let's go on to something. 247 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:20,360 We got that. 248 00:13:20,360 --> 00:13:25,320 Um, actually it will go with what you were saying. 249 00:13:25,320 --> 00:13:28,400 Cause I was going to, I was going to dive into his accomplishments. 250 00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:32,320 I wanted to get to one area before we really get to go for it. 251 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:33,320 Go ahead. 252 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:34,320 No, no, no. 253 00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:40,000 What, what was your first ever win and what really stands out? 254 00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:49,280 Um, I think it was out like, um, my first win. 255 00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,560 I think there's that green castle. 256 00:13:51,560 --> 00:13:52,560 Okay. 257 00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:55,800 Hey, that's where I got my first win. 258 00:13:55,800 --> 00:13:56,800 Look out. 259 00:13:56,800 --> 00:13:59,680 And what dog were you hunting? 260 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:02,480 Probably Hannah. 261 00:14:02,480 --> 00:14:03,480 You were hunting Hannah. 262 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:04,480 Okay. 263 00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:05,480 Do you remember anything? 264 00:14:05,480 --> 00:14:09,480 No, nothing in particular. 265 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:10,480 Yeah. 266 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:18,120 What was your, what is the biggest or the wind that really sits, you know, in your mind? 267 00:14:18,120 --> 00:14:23,480 Like for me, it was, I was 13 years old and won the Kentucky state youth championship, 268 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:24,480 you know? 269 00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:29,360 And, uh, you know, I was hunting a dog named Harvey looked more like an overgrown beagle 270 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,160 than he did a freaking coon dog. 271 00:14:32,160 --> 00:14:34,960 And he was meaner than a one-eyed snake. 272 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:40,880 I promise you any dog that got on the tree with him, it was over. 273 00:14:40,880 --> 00:14:41,880 He was like a little pit bull. 274 00:14:41,880 --> 00:14:43,880 He'd run everything off of it. 275 00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:49,960 But that was my, that was one of my first big wins that I ever had. 276 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:52,520 It stands out pretty predominantly. 277 00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:54,520 You got a hunt that stands out? 278 00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:55,520 No. 279 00:14:55,520 --> 00:15:03,520 I got a whole list of hunts here, a big hunts that you won and not one of them is memorable. 280 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,440 I don't remember. 281 00:15:06,440 --> 00:15:07,440 Oh my gosh. 282 00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:09,720 This kid, I'm telling you, welcome to a life in my household. 283 00:15:09,720 --> 00:15:12,440 I'll be like Colton, when's your birthday? 284 00:15:12,440 --> 00:15:13,440 I don't remember. 285 00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:14,440 I know my birthday. 286 00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:15,440 Oh boy. 287 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:18,400 You know what, Bryce, you know what it is real quick. 288 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:20,960 I think it's more the new age kids. 289 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:24,200 If they say they don't know or they don't remember, they feel like that they don't have 290 00:15:24,200 --> 00:15:25,200 to talk. 291 00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:26,480 Jocelyn's the same way. 292 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:28,720 I'll be like, why didn't you do the dishes? 293 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:29,720 Oh, I forgot. 294 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:32,720 Oh, why didn't you do this? 295 00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:34,760 Oh, I forgot. 296 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:36,400 I actually didn't don't remember. 297 00:15:36,400 --> 00:15:37,400 All right. 298 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:38,400 Well, let's go. 299 00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:39,880 Let's talk about Hannah for a second. 300 00:15:39,880 --> 00:15:44,560 Well, that's how you got Hannah and why she is so special to you. 301 00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,320 Well, I was hunting her. 302 00:15:48,320 --> 00:15:55,040 Brooklyn would let me hunt her for a while and then we bought her. 303 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,280 Okay. 304 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,600 Do you liked her enough that you convinced your mom to buy her for you? 305 00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:02,600 Yeah, pretty well. 306 00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:03,600 I really like her. 307 00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:08,600 What did you like about her? 308 00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,880 She treated me good. 309 00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:12,880 Okay. 310 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:13,880 So she's accurate. 311 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:14,880 Yeah. 312 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:16,880 Does she have a good mouth? 313 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,600 Yeah, I could call her pretty easy with her 27 different barks. 314 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:22,400 She does have 27 different barks. 315 00:16:22,400 --> 00:16:25,840 Guys, there's one dog that I cannot for the life of me call. 316 00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:28,040 If I took her to a hunt, I'd be screwed. 317 00:16:28,040 --> 00:16:29,040 And that's Hannah. 318 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:32,000 I feel like she sounds different every time I unsnap her. 319 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:36,040 You got to learn it. 320 00:16:36,040 --> 00:16:37,040 It kills me. 321 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:47,680 Okay, so with Hannah, you took her as a fourth grader at nine years old and you qualified 322 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:50,040 her for the tournament of champions. 323 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:51,200 Yep. 324 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,240 Did you put all five of her wins on her yourself? 325 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:59,200 Well, before we bought her, she had a couple of wins, I think. 326 00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:03,880 But you put the five on her that year for TOC, right? 327 00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:04,880 Yeah. 328 00:17:04,880 --> 00:17:05,880 Yeah. 329 00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:07,960 And was that a bunch of youth events? 330 00:17:07,960 --> 00:17:08,960 Yes. 331 00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:09,960 Okay. 332 00:17:09,960 --> 00:17:16,360 So guys, that's one of my first memories of Colton is when I first met Nikki, the TOC 333 00:17:16,360 --> 00:17:20,760 was rolling around and he had a dog qualified and I had went down with Basham the year before 334 00:17:20,760 --> 00:17:24,480 and hunted a dog for Basham at the TOC. 335 00:17:24,480 --> 00:17:29,560 And I was supposed to hunt another dog this year, but Nikki couldn't make it down to TOC. 336 00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:35,960 And Colton had told me that he'd worked really hard to get this dog qualified for TOC. 337 00:17:35,960 --> 00:17:42,360 So we went down there to Kentucky and Colton at nine years old hunted in the tournament 338 00:17:42,360 --> 00:17:47,380 of champions and he drew a stiff cast. 339 00:17:47,380 --> 00:17:53,600 He drew world champion legs with Zach Burden. 340 00:17:53,600 --> 00:18:03,000 He drew Cody Maine with Trip, American power trip, and he drew one more dog that was a 341 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:04,000 nice hound. 342 00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:08,040 And one of my favorite memories, Colton, do you remember my favorite memory about this 343 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:09,040 hunt? 344 00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:10,040 Yeah. 345 00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,040 All right. 346 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:12,040 Tell us what it is. 347 00:18:12,040 --> 00:18:13,040 Because this cracks me up. 348 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:21,360 So we got to the woods, got our dogs on, collars on, and when we went to cut them, we snapped 349 00:18:21,360 --> 00:18:22,360 them loose. 350 00:18:22,360 --> 00:18:23,360 But hold on. 351 00:18:23,360 --> 00:18:24,360 What did you cut them loose at? 352 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:25,360 A tree line. 353 00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:26,360 A middle of a bean field. 354 00:18:26,360 --> 00:18:27,360 And then what? 355 00:18:27,360 --> 00:18:38,360 Well, when we cut them, I immediately struck my dog. 356 00:18:38,360 --> 00:18:44,400 Guys when he says immediately, I mean the brass snap didn't have time to close yet. 357 00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:47,480 And he yells Hannah struck. 358 00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,760 Oh man. 359 00:18:49,760 --> 00:18:57,200 And I looked at Cody Maine and I looked at Zach Burden and I'm like, oh boy, oh boy, 360 00:18:57,200 --> 00:18:58,560 what are they going to do here? 361 00:18:58,560 --> 00:19:03,000 And Hannah just kept it on going horse racing down there to the wood line and they never 362 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:04,000 said a word. 363 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,120 Them guys never said anything. 364 00:19:07,120 --> 00:19:10,360 And part of me thinks, you know, they were just looking out for a young kid and I was 365 00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:13,680 very grateful for it because he was nervous. 366 00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:15,320 He was shaking in his boots. 367 00:19:15,320 --> 00:19:18,200 You couldn't get him to stop shaking. 368 00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:22,120 You know that and in the UKC realm, you know, it's harder. 369 00:19:22,120 --> 00:19:30,760 I think you learned, we won't go into the specifics, but I think you learned a few different 370 00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:35,720 ways to interpret the rules that world hunt that you went up there with me on. 371 00:19:35,720 --> 00:19:42,440 And in the UKC realm, it's a little harder honestly to minus a dog for babbling because 372 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:49,200 the way the rules state is it's where a track is evident and then in the middle of a bean 373 00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:53,840 field as long as she keeps it going for the biggest majority. 374 00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:57,880 I mean, how do you say that that dog isn't running a can? 375 00:19:57,880 --> 00:19:58,880 Right. 376 00:19:58,880 --> 00:19:59,880 Yep. 377 00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:02,320 So it's a little bit harder to minus some in the UKC, but gosh, that was just one of 378 00:20:02,320 --> 00:20:05,240 my favorite memories is, is I kept telling him, I was like, you have to get her on the 379 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:10,720 paper and boy, did he put her on the paper. 380 00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:16,240 So after that you went on and with Hannah, you made her a grand night champion. 381 00:20:16,240 --> 00:20:17,360 Yep. 382 00:20:17,360 --> 00:20:22,320 And then you took her to the duels, the duels at autumn Oaks and do you have any luck there? 383 00:20:22,320 --> 00:20:24,840 Yeah, I won my cast. 384 00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:27,040 The night before I went to a slam hunt. 385 00:20:27,040 --> 00:20:28,520 I won that. 386 00:20:28,520 --> 00:20:30,600 So I got 45 bucks. 387 00:20:30,600 --> 00:20:36,480 Oh man, that's the first cash one where I got paid. 388 00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:38,280 High time in there. 389 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:39,480 Yeah. 390 00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:45,280 And then as in the Walker class, I got, I lost immediately. 391 00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:47,000 Oh, you say you lost in the show. 392 00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:49,600 So the way that the duels works at autumn Oaks guys, if you don't know, you have to 393 00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:50,600 be a dual champions. 394 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:55,680 You have to be a champion on the bench and a champion in the woods and you draw out against 395 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:56,720 dogs of your breed. 396 00:20:56,720 --> 00:21:00,920 So you drew out with three other Walkers and were you the only kid on that cast? 397 00:21:00,920 --> 00:21:01,920 Yes. 398 00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:04,000 And he went ahead and put it on them, huh? 399 00:21:04,000 --> 00:21:08,200 And I was the night before I was also the only kid. 400 00:21:08,200 --> 00:21:10,280 Oh, when you made your $45. 401 00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:11,280 Yes. 402 00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:12,280 What did you do with that $45? 403 00:21:12,280 --> 00:21:14,280 Did you spend it wisely? 404 00:21:14,280 --> 00:21:16,240 No, probably not. 405 00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:19,520 Probably a couple of cheeseburgers. 406 00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:25,040 Bought some ice cream because autumn Oaks has the best ice cream. 407 00:21:25,040 --> 00:21:29,640 And probably a t-shirt from a vendor. 408 00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:30,640 A t-shirt? 409 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:35,920 If you bought ice cream at autumn Oaks, you didn't buy a t-shirt, ice cream, cheeseburgers 410 00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:38,760 now, because that ice cream ain't cheap. 411 00:21:38,760 --> 00:21:41,720 It's like $7 for a full cone. 412 00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,760 Like the big one. 413 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,960 Man, that's a lot. 414 00:21:45,960 --> 00:21:46,960 So okay. 415 00:21:46,960 --> 00:21:55,640 Speaking of which, what are you hunting at Duel's this year? 416 00:21:55,640 --> 00:21:57,520 Nothing. 417 00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:01,040 Well, Spitter Spot needs a handler. 418 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,040 Oh,

from the wedding? 426 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,040 The wedding's on Tuesday. 427 00:22:18,040 --> 00:22:19,880 Wow, man. 428 00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:22,880 You got two nights after that. 429 00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:23,880 It's going to be a party. 430 00:22:23,880 --> 00:22:25,880 Cole, are you excited for the wedding? 431 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:26,880 Yeah. 432 00:22:26,880 -->

436 00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:42,960 I'd tie a rope around his neck, hook a freaking brick to it and throw him in the creek across 437 00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:43,960 the river. 438 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,440 Cole, you're not that mean, are you? 439 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:48,440 Depends. 440 00:22:48,440 --> 00:22:49,440 It does depend. 441 00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:50,440 All right. 442 00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:52,120 Let's get back to the dogs. 443 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:53,480 Let's get back to the dogs. 444 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:54,480 Okay. 445 00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:57,720 So you've won all that with Hannah so far, but it keeps going. 446 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:05,720 So you then in 2022, you were the first kid to do what in UKC history? 447 00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:11,960 I won both categories of the Spotlight Series, the show and hunt portion. 448 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:12,960 Okay. 449 00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:17,440 And explain to the listeners how that works because that is not a one day event. 450 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:24,160 So there's like throughout the year, there's a race for the most cast wins and you get 451 00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:28,480 points for each cast one and it's the same with the show. 452 00:23:28,480 --> 00:23:32,960 You win the show, you get points and I won both of them. 453 00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,760 So they're pretty neat. 454 00:23:35,760 --> 00:23:36,760 Yeah. 455 00:23:36,760 --> 00:23:38,360 Now, I mean, that was not just in Indiana. 456 00:23:38,360 --> 00:23:41,160 That's all over the country, right? 457 00:23:41,160 --> 00:23:42,160 Yes. 458 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:48,280 Do you remember how many states you went to compete in this? 459 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:55,640 Kentucky, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, I think there was. 460 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:57,880 Was West Virginia in there? 461 00:23:57,880 --> 00:23:58,880 Yes. 462 00:23:58,880 --> 00:24:05,680 Well, no, not West Virginia. 463 00:24:05,680 --> 00:24:06,680 You don't know Illinois, Illinois. 464 00:24:06,680 --> 00:24:07,680 Okay. 465 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:08,680 Yeah. 466 00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:11,160 So you were the first kid to win both of them in the same year guys. 467 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:15,640 That was, that was pretty neat was, you know, he, he got awarded that and he got these two 468 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:19,640 big trophies, he's got two big jackets and it's one of my favorite pictures. 469 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:25,840 He's got his party in the back mullet flowing a nice button up shirt got Hannah all posed 470 00:24:25,840 --> 00:24:26,840 up there. 471 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:28,440 I mean looking good. 472 00:24:28,440 --> 00:24:30,040 Were you feeling good that day? 473 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:31,040 Yeah. 474 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:32,040 What else happened that day? 475 00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,320 Cause something else happened on that same exact day where you got awarded all this stuff. 476 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,040 Uh, I won the bench show. 477 00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:41,040 Where at? 478 00:24:41,040 --> 00:24:46,560 The youth national, the 2022 youth nationals. 479 00:24:46,560 --> 00:24:49,280 So there's like two different age range. 480 00:24:49,280 --> 00:24:55,120 13 you're considered a senior and then 12 and under you're a junior. 481 00:24:55,120 --> 00:24:56,480 So I think I was what 10. 482 00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:57,480 Yeah. 483 00:24:57,480 --> 00:24:58,480 I think you're 10. 484 00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:06,200 Um, and I won mine, my half and then, uh, Katie would from lives in Peru. 485 00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:09,000 She won the, uh, the senior. 486 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,000 Yeah. 487 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,400 So they awarded that spotlight series at youth nationals. 488 00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:20,000 So right after he went out and won, got his rewards for his youth Nash or excuse me for 489 00:25:20,000 --> 00:25:24,380 a spotlight series, he goes out on the bench and he wins the youth national championship 490 00:25:24,380 --> 00:25:25,380 on the bench. 491 00:25:25,380 --> 00:25:27,600 Oh, Peru swept it. 492 00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:29,400 Peru had a clean sweep. 493 00:25:29,400 --> 00:25:30,400 Yep. 494 00:25:30,400 --> 00:25:31,400 Absolutely. 495 00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:36,880 So then let's see here. 496 00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:38,880 I'm going to try to read his handwriting. 497 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:39,880 Oh, what? 498 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,920 What did you win in 2023? 499 00:25:42,920 --> 00:25:50,080 I think at youth nationals was it youth nationals? 500 00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,840 It says Indiana grand champion male. 501 00:25:52,840 --> 00:25:56,400 Oh, that was the Indiana state. 502 00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:57,400 Yeah. 503 00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:58,400 The, the, yeah. 504 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:00,400 The Indiana state youth. 505 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:01,400 Yes. 506 00:26:01,400 --> 00:26:02,400 That's when that was. 507 00:26:02,400 --> 00:26:07,000 I won the, uh, grand champion male. 508 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:13,240 So last year at the Indiana state youth, you won the grand champion male. 509 00:26:13,240 --> 00:26:14,240 Yep. 510 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,240 All right. 511 00:26:15,240 --> 00:26:18,520 The judge was Tiffany Adkins. 512 00:26:18,520 --> 00:26:19,880 So you remember that kind of stuff. 513 00:26:19,880 --> 00:26:20,880 Yeah. 514 00:26:20,880 --> 00:26:21,880 Lord help you. 515 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:29,400 And then I think in the same year you were the AKC reserve Indiana state champion. 516 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:30,400 Yeah. 517 00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:32,280 That wasn't a youth hunt, right? 518 00:26:32,280 --> 00:26:35,320 Um, no, I don't think so. 519 00:26:35,320 --> 00:26:39,080 So reserve state champion for the AKC Indiana state. 520 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,080 Look out. 521 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:41,080 Not bad. 522 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:42,080 Not bad at all. 523 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,680 Not bad at all. 524 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:52,680 So, so obviously, you know, Colton was brought up in this coon hunting world. 525 00:26:52,680 --> 00:27:01,560 I think whenever you really look at people in our sport where it was handed down generation 526 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:05,280 to generation, I think, you know, we've talked about it up at autumn Oaks. 527 00:27:05,280 --> 00:27:08,200 You know, the Elbrans are notorious for that. 528 00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:14,360 You know, they had a picture of Nikki and Andy in strollers at autumn Oaks, you know, 529 00:27:14,360 --> 00:27:19,720 and their dad is obviously very predominant in the UKC world and the coon hunting world. 530 00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:26,460 And to be able to pass it down, like they have to Colton and Owen and all the girls, 531 00:27:26,460 --> 00:27:31,320 you know, with all their wins, you know, I think it's pretty special to be able to take 532 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:36,200 a hobby and pass it on to your kids and for them to enjoy it like you do. 533 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:37,480 And I think it's pretty remarkable. 534 00:27:37,480 --> 00:27:38,760 Yeah, it's pretty cool. 535 00:27:38,760 --> 00:27:43,560 So obviously this weekend or this last weekend, there were, there's three generations competing 536 00:27:43,560 --> 00:27:45,520 across the country. 537 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:51,680 So we kind of divided and conquered and Curtis went down to North Carolina and him and Andy 538 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:59,120 went down there and they were showing in the saloon dog days and Peyton, which is Andy's 539 00:27:59,120 --> 00:28:01,560 daughter, she was showing down there. 540 00:28:01,560 --> 00:28:07,880 And so Curtis won reserve, Andy won the whole thing. 541 00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:09,840 And then Peyton was the overall youth. 542 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:12,760 So they had a clean sweep down there at saluda coon dog days. 543 00:28:12,760 --> 00:28:21,840 And then Owen hunted in his first youth event this last weekend and he got champion male 544 00:28:21,840 --> 00:28:26,240 in the show and he won grand champion male. 545 00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:32,160 And then he took all wheelie bar squealy bar out and he was the overall high scoring junior 546 00:28:32,160 --> 00:28:34,560 division champion. 547 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:39,360 So we had three generations this weekend going out and competing, bringing home a little 548 00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:40,360 bit of hardware. 549 00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:43,080 Well, Colton's sitting back there shaking his head. 550 00:28:43,080 --> 00:28:44,080 Yeah. 551 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:48,040 Cause Owen sitting in the kitchen, he just grinning ear to ear, like a possum sitting 552 00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:51,040 up in the first fork of a tree. 553 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:52,040 He likes here. 554 00:28:52,040 --> 00:28:56,200 He's got his stuff, but there's one more win that Colton just put a notch in his belt. 555 00:28:56,200 --> 00:29:01,000 And I'm going to let him tell you about it because when I got the call about this, I 556 00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:05,880 don't think his head fit in the door when he come home for the next week. 557 00:29:05,880 --> 00:29:06,880 Thank you very much. 558 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:08,360 Mr. Mike seats. 559

00:29:17,620 --> 00:29:18,620 What all did that entail? 563 00:29:18,620 --> 00:29:24,320 Cause that was a full day event in order to secure that championship, that world championship. 564

Reba got second one, I think. 612 00:31:40,120 --> 00:31:42,480 Then she ran into the pond cause it was scorching hot. 613 00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,000 I heard it got dangerously hot that day. 614 00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:46,000 Yeah. 615 00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:49,200 One dog went into shock and laid in the pond. 616 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,480 Yeah, that was a bad deal. 617 00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:52,480 True. 618 00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:56,760 It was like, it was like 92 degrees or something that day in the middle of the day in the sun. 619 00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,520 Nikki was texting

luck there. 622 00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:11,680 No, she, uh, so I, we cut the dogs. 623 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:15,680 Um, both dogs got struck and treated. 624 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:24,000 Then Reba was struck, she wasn't struck, but I could hear, but she was 500 and a, um, and 625 00:32:24,000 --> 00:32:27,800 a holler and the judge couldn't hear. 626 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:30,480 So they recut their dogs. 627 00:32:30,480 --> 00:32:35,200 Then they got one got struck and struck and treated. 628 00:32:35,200 --> 00:32:39,440 Then the other one got, was struck. 629 00:32:39,440 -->

the dog that was, the dog that was, uh, just struck in, never got treated. 632 00:33:00,920 --> 00:33:07,600 Uh, Reba, we finally got to a field to where the judge can hear and then I struck her in. 633 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:10,000 Then we walked closer to her. 634 00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:12,200 Then I struck my dog. 635 00:33:12,200 --> 00:33:14,800 I mean, treated my dog. 636 00:33:14,800 -->

world. 921 00:44:26,280 --> 00:44:32,920 Big shout out to Curtis and Nicky and to getting the kids into hunting. 922 00:44:32,920 --> 00:44:39,280 I think it's the biggest thing is just nowadays there's just not an exposure for the youth. 923 00:44:39,280 --> 00:44:44,320 And so whenever I was thinking about what our next podcast would be, I thought it would 924 00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:51,160 be very telling, very, it would go right along with the Indiana State Youth Hunt to go ahead 925 00:44:51,160 --> 00:44:54,960 and have a podcast, do a youth shout out. 926 00:44:54,960 --> 00:44:57,560 That's why we got Colton on here. 927 00:44:57,560 --> 00:45:06,320 You know, this right here and solidifying our future is by getting the youth involved 928 00:45:06,320 --> 00:45:10,640 and making it bigger and better for them, figuring out ways to get them involved and 929 00:45:10,640 --> 00:45:17,440 get them excited about a hobby, a tradition, a lifestyle that we all love. 930 00:45:17,440 --> 00:45:18,440 Absolutely. 931 00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:19,440 I couldn't agree more. 932 00:45:19,440 --> 00:45:23,600 You know, I love taking these boys out, you know, Owen has started

three of these boys out there 937 00:45:34,320 --> 00:45:35,320 with me in the woods. 938 00:45:35,320 --> 00:45:36,620 I, it's a great feeling. 939 00:45:36,620 --> 00:45:37,620 So I love it. 940 00:45:37,620 --> 00:45:38,620 I love it. 941 00:45:38,620 --> 00:45:39,620 Something that we can do as a family. 942 00:45:39,620 --> 00:45:44,400 She goes with me all the time and you know, I just

00:45:52,040 --> 00:45:55,400 We're getting ready to load up and head to Iowa in a couple of weeks. 949 00:45:55,400 --> 00:45:56,680 Youth Nationals is up there in Iowa. 950 00:45:56,680 -->

the seven hour trip up there to Iowa, keep these kids in 961 00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:17,440 the woods and see if we can't do a little good up there at Youth Nationals. 962 00:46:17,440 --> 00:46:19,640 Sounds good. 963 00:46:19,640 --> 00:46:20,640 Sounds good. 964 00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:25,800 Big shout out to our sponsors, Froggy Bottom Outdoors and Never Satisfied Off-Road. 965 00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:26,800 Joey Goforth. 966 00:46:26,800 --> 00:46:30,400 Thank you for allowing us to do what we do. 967 00:46:30,400 --> 00:46:31,400 Absolutely. 968 00:46:31,400 --> 00:46:32,400 Hey, I got a story before we leave. 969 00:46:32,400 --> 00:46:35,800 I'm going to see if Colt wants to tell it or if he wants me to tell it. 970 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaking of our sponsors and Froggy Bottom Outdoors. 971 00:46:38,640 --> 00:46:44,080 It's one of my favorite memories of hunting with Colton is with one of our sponsors, Shane 972 00:46:44,080 --> 00:46:45,080 Smith. 973 00:46:45,080 --> 00:46:46,080 Oh my gosh. 974 00:46:46,080 --> 00:46:47,960 Are you going to tell this story Colt or do I need to tell the story? 975 00:46:47,960 --> 00:46:52,000 Because this is a podcast that, you know, maybe this isn't so much for the listeners, 976 00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:56,480 but this is, you know, how Basham and I talked about preserving memories and one day that 977 00:46:56,480 --> 00:46:58,280 we'll be able to look back at and listen. 978 00:46:58,280 --> 00:47:01,180 And this is a story that I want to be recorded. 979 00:47:01,180 --> 00:47:02,800 So I'll give you the option. 980 00:47:02,800 --> 00:47:04,960 Either you can tell the story or I can tell the story. 981 00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:05,960 You can tell them. 982 00:47:05,960 --> 00:47:06,960 Okay. 983 00:47:06,960 --> 00:47:07,960 Here we go. 984 00:47:07,960 --> 00:47:08,960 Let's get this up. 985 00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:10,680 So we are out hunting with Shane Smith. 986 00:47:10,680 --> 00:47:15,480 It's me, Nikki, Shane and Colton on a cold, ballistory winter night. 987 00:47:15,480 --> 00:47:22,680 We are, we're over at one of Shane's woods and we drove the Ranger over to Shane's 988 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:25,000 house or from Shane's house to the woods. 989 00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:29,760 And if anybody has ever went hunting with Colton before, you will know that he is not 990 00:47:29,760 --> 00:47:32,320 the most graceful in the woods. 991 00:47:32,320 --> 00:47:34,540 It's like he's walking around with two left feet. 992 00:47:34,540 --> 00:47:37,960 He likes to fall down and he spends a lot of time looking for earthworms while he's 993 00:47:37,960 --> 00:47:40,720 down there. 994 00:47:40,720 --> 00:47:42,040 He's laughing cause he knows it's true. 995 00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:45,760 The kid spends more time on the ground than he does on his feet. 996 00:47:45,760 --> 00:47:50,000 So we had just got done shining a tree and we're walking back to the Ranger and it is 997 00:47:50,000 --> 00:47:51,820 an open field. 998 00:47:51,820 --> 00:47:53,640 There's no obstructions in our way. 999 00:47:53,640 --> 00:47:55,440 They're corn stalks. 1000 00:47:55,440 --> 00:47:57,080 This was a cut corn field. 1001 00:47:57,080 --> 00:48:02,160 There was about, I don't know, a foot of corn stubble left and there happened to be some 1002 00:48:02,160 --> 00:48:04,120 water in the corn field. 1003 00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:05,120 Yeah. 1004 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:06,120 Six feet. 1005 00:48:06,120 --> 00:48:13,320 Well, what Colton is exaggerating about is it was only six inches of water and Colton 1006 00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:19,240 had managed to somehow instead of walking through the rows of corn, he got tripped up 1007 00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:24,680 on some corn stalks and he went face first into this puddle of water. 1008 00:48:24,680 --> 00:48:29,120 And I say puddle, it was probably a 50 by 50 area. 1009 00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,080 And then he tried to stand up and bash him. 1010 00:48:31,080 --> 00:48:32,240 Would you know it? 1011 00:48:32,240 --> 00:48:34,240 It happened again. 1012 00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:38,800 He went right back down and it's freezing cold. 1013 00:48:38,800 --> 00:48:39,800 There's ice on the ground. 1014 00:48:39,800 --> 00:48:46,160 And he stands up a third time and he slips and he falls again. 1015 00:48:46,160 --> 00:48:55,920 This kid looked like a fish out of water drowning in six inches of water in the middle of a 1016 00:48:55,920 --> 00:48:58,500 corn field. 1017 00:48:58,500 --> 00:49:01,800 The third time when I fell, I got a corn stalk to the chest. 1018 00:49:01,800 --> 00:49:03,760 He took a corn stalk to the chest. 1019 00:49:03,760 --> 00:49:06,840 So then he's crying. 1020 00:49:06,840 --> 00:49:07,840 He's cold. 1021 00:49:07,840 --> 00:49:08,840 He's wet. 1022 00:49:08,840 --> 00:49:12,720 And we're in Shane's ranger. 1023 00:49:12,720 --> 00:49:18,160 So he had, I mean, I can say it's cold, cold and he's soaking wet head to toe. 1024 00:49:18,160 --> 00:49:21,760 The poor kid, he's he toughs it out all the way back to Shane's house. 1025 00:49:21,760 --> 00:49:23,920 The hunt was over for the night. 1026 00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:25,320 Didn't have nothing home to ride in. 1027 00:49:25,320 --> 00:49:27,600 So luckily I had a towel in the dog box. 1028 00:49:27,600 --> 00:49:32,600 This kid had to strip down, he wrote home and nothing but a towel. 1029 00:49:32,600 --> 00:49:40,200 Cause he couldn't stand on his two feet in the middle of a corn field. 1030 00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:41,260 I love it. 1031 00:49:41,260 --> 00:49:42,920 So I always get a kick out of that. 1032 00:49:42,920 --> 00:49:45,320 Me and Shane laugh about that quite regularly. 1033 00:49:45,320 --> 00:49:51,400 So it's definitely a good way to end this podcast in the fact of just sharing those 1034 00:49:51,400 --> 00:49:56,560 memories and putting them out there and keeping them alive and Colton, we will always know 1035 00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:58,280 you as butter feet. 1036 00:49:58,280 --> 00:49:59,280 Yep. 1037 00:49:59,280 --> 00:50:00,280 Old butter feet. 1038 00:50:00,280 --> 00:50:01,280 They also call me butter feet. 1039 00:50:01,280 --> 00:50:03,280 When we're at restaurants, they also call me butter fingers. 1040 00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:05,800 You know, he's butter fingers too. 1041 00:50:05,800 --> 00:50:06,800 Your butter something. 1042 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:08,080 We're just going to call you butter. 1043 00:50:08,080 --> 00:50:10,000
