1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,840 Canines are our passion. 2 00:00:10,840 --> 00:00:13,160 They are our addiction. 3 00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:19,200 They are our way of life right down to the very core and without them we would be lost. 4 00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:22,840 The canines of this world really are something to behold. 5 00:00:22,840 --> 00:00:28,680 They assist us at work, they accompany us at home, and they perform for us in the field. 6 00:00:28,680 --> 00:00:32,200 No matter where we go, they are by our side. 7 00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:36,880 Canines really are a ride or die, and for that we are grateful. 8 00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:41,440 This podcast will showcase working canines of various breeds and disciplines as we search 9 00:00:41,440 --> 00:00:46,040 for those canines and their handlers who are always striving to be the best at what they 10 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:47,560 do. 11 00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:49,760 Those who are always grinding. 12 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:52,440

00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:10,840 I want to talk a little bit here about this hunt that Lane put on recently that we covered 37 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,520 a few weeks ago called the Battle of the Brides in Pro Sport. 38 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:19,160 Lane, why don't you fill us in on how that hunt went, who all showed up and what the 39 00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:21,760 final shakedown was? 40 00:02:21,760 --> 00:02:25,840 Man, it was awesome. 41 00:02:25,840 --> 00:02:30,160 We ended up with 24. 42 00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:37,800 You know, we had of course, Kyle Robertson, the little red gyp that won it was there. 43 00:02:37,800 --> 00:02:44,560 Final three, you know, myself got lucky and back in there. 44 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:48,840 Wipeout Casey was there. 45 00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:53,000 Strickland, both his gyps, Zach Reeves. 46 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:57,320 I mean, we had we had a pretty good line up of dogs there. 47 00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:03,040 I can't tell them all without looking at my list, but we had a lot of good dogs. 48 00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:08,240 Really, really, really hard, hard, competitive hunt. 49 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,240 Yeah. 50 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:11,720 What was the response from the guys that showed up to that hunt? 51 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:16,400 Were they all pretty excited to be in on like the inaugural Battle of the Brides with the 52 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,000 best females in the country? 53 00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,680 Yeah, you know, we we had a lot of excitement about this hunt. 54 00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,760 It was it was pretty big. 55 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:30,120 Everybody knew the level playing field they was going to be on. 56 00:03:30,120 --> 00:03:35,440 You know, this the challenge of what we have with this kind of dogs there at this hunt 57 00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:37,840 was really, really neat. 58 00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:41,360 I think it's going to give us something to build on for next year. 59 00:03:41,360 --> 00:03:45,000 You know, try to do this every year. 60 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,720 I think there I think there'll be a lot more to come. 61 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:54,280 You know, people at first, first, you know, first time we always figured it out how the 62 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:55,520 best way to do it is. 63 00:03:55,520 --> 00:03:59,600 And I think we, you know, we we had a good hunt. 64 00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:00,960 They had everybody good. 65 00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:02,800 Everybody sat around and had a good time. 66 00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,560 Man, it was a it was a great atmosphere. 67 00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:13,160 One of the better hunts as far as the camaraderie with everybody there, you know, it was a really 68 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:14,160 good time. 69 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,200 Yeah, they had a good list of dogs. 70 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:23,440 You've got Juliette with a lame lever at Hooker, Doug Havener, Ruby, Jake Brasher, Lou. 71 00:04:23,440 --> 00:04:26,520 Oh, Ashley Hopkins was down there. 72 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:33,360 You had old battle acts with Boo Boo Rivers, Queen, Scar, Cookie, Justin Davenport. 73 00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:40,520 You had Oreo, Spencer Brown, Polly, Pearl, which ended up winning it. 74 00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:46,200 Scar, which the star female, that's the one that Zach Vaught and John Strickland own that 75 00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:48,040 Jess Parsons owns now. 76 00:04:48,040 --> 00:04:53,160 You had Jennings and John Strickland, Betty Strong, John Strickland. 77 00:04:53,160 --> 00:04:57,140 You had the Bee female with Billy Barry. 78 00:04:57,140 --> 00:04:58,880 You had Venus. 79 00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:03,840 You had Fire Chad Reisner, the Wipeout Casey. 80 00:05:03,840 --> 00:05:09,640 You had Propane Jane, Robert Burns, Jenny Craig. 81 00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:15,920 Margaret and Powder, that was kind of your lineup for the hunt. 82 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:21,600 Something that I really enjoyed, Lane, was seeing all the stuff that you went out and 83 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,400 got, you know, the belt. 84 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,320 That's pretty awesome. 85 00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:31,680 And then, you know, I believe you got knives for each one of them. 86 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:34,320 What was the prize package? 87 00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:35,320 They all had. 88 00:05:35,320 --> 00:05:40,040 We got the top three, all got a K-Lite. 89 00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:44,240 Sandra donated all the finalists to K-Lite. 90 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,800 Stephen Smith from Havoc Lights donated us a light. 91 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:52,840 We give it to the high scoring, well, not the high scoring, they don't treat the most 92 00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:57,400 cones for the two nights. 93 00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:58,400 We had the knives. 94 00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,880 They were Henny Rooster knives. 95 00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:06,800 All the finalists got one of them, Razor donated a vest. 96 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,320 All three finalists got a vest. 97 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:11,320 And then the belt. 98 00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:13,520 The belt was off the hook. 99 00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,760 The belt was off the hook. 100 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:16,760 That was cool. 101 00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:21,880 You can tell, it was like WWE wrestling. 102 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:24,400 Everybody wanted that belt, you know. 103 00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:28,120 So for the listeners, explain what this belt looked like. 104 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,300 This is a podcast. 105 00:06:30,300 --> 00:06:34,160 People that just listen to it, I've got a bunch of listeners that just get on there 106 00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,680 and listen to these podcasts when they're driving down the road and explain to these 107 00:06:37,680 --> 00:06:42,480 listeners exactly how you had this belt made. 108 00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:50,760 Man, we ordered it on Amazon, you know, but we went and had it engraved, Designs Express 109 00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,320 here in town engraved it for us. 110 00:06:52,320 --> 00:06:55,600 We had the Pro Sport emblem on each side. 111 00:06:55,600 --> 00:07:00,840 All of the brides in the middle and the champion, Estelle Springs, but you know, it's like 112 00:07:00,840 --> 00:07:04,640 a wrestling belt like you see on TV, you know, with the champ. 113 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,640 Camp in the world. 114 00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:09,320 It was a pretty big prize. 115 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:15,400 You know, everybody, everybody come up here and you'd say, you'd catch it just about 116 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,400 everybody that had a little bit of that belt. 117 00:07:17,400 --> 00:07:20,520 Everybody's, I want that belt, you know. 118 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:26,880 So there was an interesting picture of John Strickland on a bench holding the belt. 119 00:07:26,880 --> 00:07:27,880 Yeah. 120 00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:28,880 Yeah. 121 00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:31,880 You know, John, he's always cutting up doing something. 122 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:35,520 We hung it on him, took a picture of like he was the big dog. 123 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,880 Yeah, I didn't see that picture. 124 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:41,360 The only picture I saw Strickland looked like somebody done put some baby powder in his 125 00:07:41,360 --> 00:07:45,200 hands and scratched his nose while he was sleeping. 126 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:50,920 I think, I think when they stayed the other day, Maynard said his feet stink real bad. 127 00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:58,760 He told him he'd throw that powder all over him to help him out. 128 00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:01,600 His whole face was covered in white powder. 129 00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:02,600 Yeah. 130 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:04,720 Yeah, it was pretty funny. 131 00:08:04,720 --> 00:08:10,000 But like I said, it seemed like you guys had a pretty good hunt. 132 00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,160 It seemed like I was kind of looking at the scores for the very first round. 133 00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:19,760 Seemed like you guys, the Coons weren't really moving very good. 134 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:22,680 Seemed like, you know, the dogs actually kind of struggled a little bit. 135 00:08:22,680 --> 00:08:23,680 Yeah, they did. 136 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,680 They did. 137 00:08:24,680 --> 00:08:27,360 Of course, that's Tennessee in November now. 138 00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:30,400 You know, that's the way it is in the early rounds. 139 00:08:30,400 --> 00:08:33,760 I mean, like our cast, I won with two dens, you know. 140 00:08:33,760 --> 00:08:37,360 Others draw minus on a slick and two with true. 141 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:43,000 They just got too far and went the wrong way. 142 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:46,920 The late round, same way there. 143 00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:50,880 There's a few Coons treed, you know, but you know, this time of year, you're going to 144 00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:51,880 struggle. 145 00:08:51,880 --> 00:08:53,800 Two Coons on the cast is pretty good. 146 00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:54,800 Yeah. 147 00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:58,480 So and then the late round, you know, I think we scored on five. 148 00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,720 We got a guy here, a friend of ours, Larry Prince. 149 00:09:02,720 --> 00:09:04,800 He saved his farm for us. 150 00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:06,720 He's got feeders up there. 151 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:07,720 He never kills a Coon. 152 00:09:07,720 --> 00:09:08,720 I mean, they're there. 153 00:09:08,720 --> 00:09:14,120 I mean, we've been in there and say in the hour and say 10 to 15, you know, Coons sitting 154 00:09:14,120 --> 00:09:15,120 around. 155 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:21,640 So we were really in good shape to have that place for a final. 156 00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,160 You know, we're going to have it on the next time. 157 00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:26,640 Also, he's going to keep it all fed up in the two force. 158 00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:28,080 Yeah, that's awesome. 159 00:09:28,080 --> 00:09:29,080 That's awesome. 160 00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:33,120 So the question I had whenever I saw that belt, who went home with that? 161 00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:37,520 Did Kai take it home or did what did the owners cut it in half and each one of them take a 162 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:38,520 half? 163 00:09:38,520 --> 00:09:39,520 How did that work? 164 00:09:39,520 --> 00:09:44,440 Man, I have no idea when they left here was hanging on the dog. 165 00:09:44,440 --> 00:09:47,160 I think you'd have to go in thirds, wouldn't it? 166 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:48,240 And he had to go there. 167 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,360 I guess for the week, they're just passing around. 168 00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,360 Just passing around. 169 00:09:52,360 --> 00:09:53,600 Yeah, I love that. 170 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,720 I say whoever's got the dog keeps the belt. 171 00:09:56,720 --> 00:09:57,720 Yeah. 172 00:09:57,720 --> 00:09:58,720 Okay. 173 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:03,120 So was there looking at that list of bashing? 174 00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,800 I'm going to default to you looking at that list. 175 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:10,960 Was there anybody or any dog that you thought was like a surefire foot in the final three 176 00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:13,560 that you were surprised didn't make it in? 177 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:15,960 I mean, you have to go with Ann. 178 00:10:15,960 --> 00:10:17,400 John Strickland and Ann dog. 179 00:10:17,400 --> 00:10:23,080 I mean, you have to with the role that they've been on and him went in a truck with her and 180 00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:24,880 just everything that they've won together. 181 00:10:24,880 --> 00:10:30,240 I mean, I mean, the Ann dog was probably one of them. 182 00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:35,720 You know, obviously with the pedigree, with the background pedigree that she has, Cookie 183 00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:37,680 was probably another fan favorite. 184 00:10:37,680 --> 00:10:45,520 You know, having a world champion coming off of a reserve world champion at the PKC World. 185 00:10:45,520 --> 00:10:52,200 So I mean, I would say if you had to do a poll, Ann and probably Cookie were probably 186 00:10:52,200 --> 00:10:54,520 two of your biggest fan favorites. 187 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,320 What would you think, Lane? 188 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,760 Yeah, them two is always a favorite. 189 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,640 You know, Fire, Fire was on the road lately. 190 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:05,560 She's been tough when she was in that in that heads up cast. 191 00:11:05,560 --> 00:11:10,440 I thought, you know, she's going to be tough to handle right there. 192 00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:14,120 You know, let me tell you about a hunt like this. 193 00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:15,960 And you guys know this. 194 00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:22,800 You can have the same hunt tomorrow night and have a total different lineup in the every 195 00:11:22,800 --> 00:11:27,040 round, you know, total different set of winners every round. 196 00:11:27,040 --> 00:11:30,880 You know, Final three be totally different. 197 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:32,640 The final six be totally different. 198 00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,840 Well, I mean, that's like nothing against you, Lane, at all. 199 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:41,720 But I mean, if you look at that list of dogs, the third and what's so awesome about this 200 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,240 type of hunt, you look at this list of dogs. 201 00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:50,560 If you was to put that list of dog on Facebook or anywhere and ask for, hey, who do you think 202 00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:52,560 is going to win? 203 00:11:52,560 --> 00:11:57,760 Those three wouldn't have been the top three on that list, would they? 204 00:11:57,760 --> 00:11:58,760 Well, I don't know, man. 205 00:11:58,760 --> 00:11:59,760 I'll tell you. 206 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:00,760 Come on, Lane. 207 00:12:00,760 --> 00:12:01,760 Hey, I'm not. 208 00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:02,760 No, no, no, no. 209 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:06,760 I'm not putting any dog down. 210 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:11,600 I'm just saying I'm talking about, you know, with the resumes that and not that Juliette 211 00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:13,480 don't have a resume. 212 00:12:13,480 --> 00:12:14,480 She obviously does. 213 00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:19,600 But but we're talking about, you know, you've got Anne and just lately the resume and you've 214 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:22,200 been on a win, you know, in pro sport. 215 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:23,780 You've got 17 now. 216 00:12:23,780 --> 00:12:25,760 So you're leading dog of the year. 217 00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,240 So I'm just talking about I guess I guess what I'm talking about isn't so much pro sport 218 00:12:30,240 --> 00:12:32,320 as I am all the other entities. 219 00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:36,220 P.K.C., U.K.C., all the big titles. 220 00:12:36,220 --> 00:12:39,920 You know, you had some heavy hitters in in that lineup. 221 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,320 Oh, yeah. 222 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:49,440 You know, oh, if you sit back, look, everybody's always going to say Strickland, whatever he's 223 00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:53,280 on, you know, he's always one of the fake one, the one you see, you just can't bet against 224 00:12:53,280 --> 00:12:54,280 him. 225 00:12:54,280 --> 00:13:02,480 But you know, like I said, there's not a dog in that. 226 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,360 You know, but on that token, I think it's hard to bet against Kai. 227 00:13:07,360 --> 00:13:11,600 I feel like whatever the heck Kai gets behind, he's got he's got a chance at winning. 228 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:14,280 He might be one of the luckiest guys I've ever met. 229 00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:17,880 I've said for a long time, you put Kai behind a poodle. 230 00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:21,360 He's going to he's going to knock on the door. 231 00:13:21,360 --> 00:13:24,360 He's pretty good at what he does now. 232 00:13:24,360 --> 00:13:28,680 You know, and he's not one of the guys that gets to go travel the world hunting. 233 00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:32,460 You know, I mean, he gets to go to select events and I feel like he really does capitalize 234 00:13:32,460 --> 00:13:34,600 on the events that he gets to go to. 235 00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:37,380 Yeah, he's really good. 236 00:13:37,380 --> 00:13:40,880 So and he's always got a good hand on. 237 00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:41,880 Yeah. 238 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:42,880 Yeah. 239 00:13:42,880 --> 00:13:46,360 Back when back when he was really pushing whenever he had a fever. 240 00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:50,800 Yeah, when he had fever and then crash when he was really pushing. 241 00:13:50,800 --> 00:13:55,400 I mean, when he shows up to a hunt, you best believe he's he's carrying the dog. 242 00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,120 Yeah, that's right. 243 00:13:57,120 --> 00:13:58,520 That's for sure. 244 00:13:58,520 --> 00:14:07,680 I really enjoyed just seeing seeing the pearl dog win this because it was a dog and I'm 245 00:14:07,680 --> 00:14:12,840 a walker man at heart, but it was something different on the front page of the quote unquote 246 00:14:12,840 --> 00:14:14,360 magazine. 247 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,360 You know what I mean? 248 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:17,560 It was refreshing to see something. 249 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:23,800 It was, you know, people who are not Walker people, they're always wanting something else 250 00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:27,120 to get the spotlight and they got it this time, you know, with the crossbreed redbone 251 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,120 Walker dog. 252 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:31,520 So I thought that was very interesting and nice to see it was just a breath of fresh 253 00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:32,520 air. 254 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:33,520 Yeah, it was. 255 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:34,520 It was pretty good. 256 00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:35,520 I was proud for them to now. 257 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:42,720 I'm tell you, I like and I was proud of them, you know, to represent us and win that that 258 00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:43,720 you're right. 259 00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:46,400 I mean, I think about different cut dog of a different color. 260 00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,400 That's that was pretty good deal right there. 261 00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,480 Yeah, because because so think about it. 262 00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:56,800 When is the last time you've seen something other than a Walker win in a major event across 263 00:14:56,800 --> 00:15:01,520 all registries like it's it's been a while. 264 00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:05,820 It's been a long time, you know, for something that's not a breed specific event, you know, 265 00:15:05,820 --> 00:15:10,040 for just a general of like autumn oaks this year, we had a black and tan in the final 266 00:15:10,040 --> 00:15:11,040 four. 267 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:14,840 And you know, the black and tan guys were pumped up as they should be because it's been 268 00:15:14,840 --> 00:15:16,400 a long time, you know. 269 00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:19,560 So it was just it was really nice to see something different win. 270 00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:25,160 And even though I'm a Walker guy, I just thought it was nice. 271 00:15:25,160 --> 00:15:26,760 Yes, sir, it was. 272 00:15:26,760 --> 00:15:31,880 I mean, you'll get you'll get you get in your outline areas and you'll get your off colored 273 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:38,200 dogs that win your that win pro classics regularly, you know, like and just one that pops off 274 00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:41,040 the top of my head because I had him here at the house. 275 00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:45,760 But Chad falling and country boy down in South Carolina, I mean, they show up to a hunt. 276 00:15:45,760 --> 00:15:50,380 And typically when you see a picture of the final four of that pro classic country boys 277 00:15:50,380 --> 00:15:53,880 in it, you know, they don't ever go to anything but right there at the house. 278 00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:57,520 And I think he's got 50 or 60,000 one on that blue dog. 279 00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,520 Right. 280 00:15:58,520 --> 00:16:02,240 So I mean, you can name a few, but you're right, Bryce. 281 00:16:02,240 --> 00:16:06,600 I mean, night in and night out, you know, you look at a final four picture of a pro 282 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:13,480 classic or pro sport or, you know, you know, final four of, you know, Walker days or even 283 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:19,360 though it's not a walk Walker only hunt, you know, or autumn oaks or the world hunt, you 284 00:16:19,360 --> 00:16:21,320 know, you don't see a lot. 285 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,680 Another one is Caleb Griffin in that crossroad dog. 286 00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:32,640 He's got preacher, preacher man, half Walker, half black and tan blue blue tick. 287 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:33,640 Yeah. 288 00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:39,640 So, I mean, it's just, yeah, having a dog of a different color, it just, it kind of 289 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:45,520 shakes things up a little bit and definitely props to you, Lane, for being able to talk 290 00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:48,120 so nice about it. 291 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:51,240 You know, you came in second on that hunt. 292 00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:52,240 Yeah. 293 00:16:52,240 --> 00:16:53,240 Yeah. 294 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:54,240 I was proud for Kai. 295 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:55,960 His dog did a good job. 296 00:16:55,960 --> 00:16:57,520 You know, that was a heck of a final. 297 00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:01,520 We don't still kick in my hand and a little bit about that. 298 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:09,000 I was just going to ask you how much weight and how much smaller is your rear end since 299 00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:10,000 that night? 300 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:11,640 How many times have you kicked yourself? 301 00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:16,000 Oh, I've, I've, I've made myself laugh thinking about it. 302 00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:24,840 You know, I, oh, you purposely take a quarter on that first tree, thinking, thinking, thinking 303 00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:29,200 that it's going to be a blank and it turns out to be a can. 304 00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:38,480 You know, in life, just on these casts, you have a split, a split second to make a decision 305 00:17:38,480 --> 00:17:42,480 that's going to affect what you do the rest of your life. 306 00:17:42,480 --> 00:17:43,480 Same on the hunt. 307 00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:49,240 You have a minute to make a decision on what's going to affect the rest of that cast. 308 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:53,380 And mine is never with another dog. 309 00:17:53,380 --> 00:17:57,320 And so they, they like these hot tracks right out of the truck and they treat together. 310 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:03,200 I'm sitting there thinking, okay, trees first, you know, they both damn together. 311 00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:07,360 Well, if I ain't going to get it all, I'll just take a little and play it safe just in 312 00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:12,440 case right here, you know, well, it bit me in the rear. 313 00:18:12,440 --> 00:18:17,480 So a little backstory, Bryce, what happened is, is they cut loose and they, they jam a 314 00:18:17,480 --> 00:18:19,280 coon right out the gate. 315 00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:27,080 Kai trees first, Juliet's on the tree, but Olayne lays back and decides instead, and 316 00:18:27,080 --> 00:18:31,620 since he didn't get first tree, he's just going to get last tree. 317 00:18:31,620 --> 00:18:35,240 So instead of taking 75 or 50, he takes a quarter. 318 00:18:35,240 --> 00:18:39,960 Well, fast forward to the end of the hunt, they're tied and Kai had tiebreakers. 319 00:18:39,960 --> 00:18:43,440 Oh, I wasn't sure how that worked. 320 00:18:43,440 --> 00:18:44,840 Okay. 321 00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:46,400 It's a different story. 322 00:18:46,400 --> 00:18:49,800 If he treats for 75 or 50, it's a different story. 323 00:18:49,800 --> 00:18:50,800 Yeah. 324 00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:51,800 Interesting. 325 00:18:51,800 --> 00:18:52,800 Interesting. 326 00:18:52,800 --> 00:18:55,440 Well, like you said, I mean, you've got a split second to make those decisions and figure 327 00:18:55,440 --> 00:18:59,840 out what you're going to do and you win some, you lose some, you know what I mean? 328 00:18:59,840 --> 00:19:05,320 Like, yeah, there's nothing else to it. 329 00:19:05,320 --> 00:19:06,480 There's nothing else to it. 330 00:19:06,480 --> 00:19:09,680 So well, Lane, that was the battle of the brides. 331 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:11,480 Bassem, you got anything else to add on that one? 332 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:12,480 Sorry. 333 00:19:12,480 --> 00:19:13,480 Look, are you getting ready? 334 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:20,280 Yeah, one thing, um, just kind of kept just kind of backing up just the hair now that it's 335 00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:27,800 over, what's something that you would have done different for that hunt? 336 00:19:27,800 --> 00:19:29,320 I don't treat my dog. 337 00:19:29,320 --> 00:19:34,520 No, I'm talking about putting on the hunt, running the hunt. 338 00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,880 What's something that you'll change for next year? 339 00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:38,800 What would you change for next year? 340 00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:41,640 Oh, I don't know. 341 00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:43,520 There's anything we can change, man. 342 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:44,520 It was perfect. 343 00:19:44,520 --> 00:19:45,520 I'm talking about it. 344 00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:47,000 We run perfect. 345 00:19:47,000 --> 00:19:54,960 Absolutely, there was not a question, not a glitch anywhere. 346 00:19:54,960 --> 00:20:01,240 The only thing I know that we could do different was add more dogs. 347 00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:05,200 Rather than 24, maybe open it up to 36 or 48 or something like that. 348 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:06,200 Yeah. 349 00:20:06,200 --> 00:20:07,200 Let me tell you this. 350 00:20:07,200 --> 00:20:11,920 When we started this thing, we set out to beat 24 and we caught a lot of slack about 351 00:20:11,920 --> 00:20:16,360 just picking 24 and there were some good dogs we left out. 352 00:20:16,360 --> 00:20:19,120 We opened it to 32. 353 00:20:19,120 --> 00:20:28,160 Well, then guys back out and they commit to coming and don't show up and we get back to 354 00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,000 24. 355 00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,280 That's the thing about these hunts, man. 356 00:20:32,280 --> 00:20:37,000 We work our butts off to put them on and it's a lot of work to it. 357 00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:42,960 I mean, a lot of phone calls, a lot of time finding guides, finding judges, being sure 358 00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:51,040 enough food to feed, when we ordered the steaks three weeks ahead of time, we ordered for 359 00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:59,080 $32 plus extra people ordered 50 of them big steaks. 360 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:02,760 When people called and they want entry, but then they don't stand behind what they do 361 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:06,400 and show up, it hurts. 362 00:21:06,400 --> 00:21:08,660 Next time, we're going to do it a little different. 363 00:21:08,660 --> 00:21:12,680 When somebody speaks for entry, they're going to have to be responsible for that entry. 364 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:22,120 There's really nothing as far as the hunt wise we could do except add more dogs. 365 00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:27,000 Now since that was an invitational hunt, maybe I just missed it. 366 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:32,000 Was there an entry fee for these guys to show up or was it just a show up on an invitational 367 00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,000 deal? 368 00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:34,000 How did that work out? 369 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:37,000 Because you guys had a good payout too. 370 00:21:37,000 --> 00:21:38,000 $1000 entry. 371 00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,680 Yeah, 12,000 first, six per second, three for third. 372 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:41,680 Yeah, that's what I was wondering. 373 00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:46,160 They paid out like 27,000 and I was like, man, surely they didn't just put this as an 374 00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:49,960 invitational deal, but I never saw the entry fee, I guess. 375 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:53,280 Yeah, $1000 entry fee. 376 00:21:53,280 --> 00:21:56,840 Now one thing, and I think this would be cool. 377 00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:02,760 The person that won the belt would not think this would be cool. 378 00:22:02,760 --> 00:22:10,320 Does the belt get transferred to the next winner and their name just etched into the 379 00:22:10,320 --> 00:22:11,920 belt? 380 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,760 No, that's probably- 381 00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,360 Because in WWE, when I take your belt, I take your belt. 382 00:22:21,360 --> 00:22:22,360 What is it? 383 00:22:22,360 --> 00:22:24,240 You're the man until you beat the man. 384 00:22:24,240 --> 00:22:25,240 That's right. 385 00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:29,840 To beat the man, you've got to beat the man. 386 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:31,280 You know, I don't know. 387 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:32,560 It's hard to take that back. 388 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,400 You know, you got three people, you got the else. 389 00:22:35,400 --> 00:22:36,680 But you know, that might be something. 390 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:42,720 If you look into the futures, you may have to defend that belt next year. 391 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:50,280 Make it a deal where, you know, the previous champion, the reigning champion is an automatic 392 00:22:50,280 --> 00:22:52,120 shoe into the final cast. 393 00:22:52,120 --> 00:22:55,800 Like for the next year, they've got a spot. 394 00:22:55,800 --> 00:22:57,080 You've got one spot locked in. 395 00:22:57,080 --> 00:23:03,640 So you basically have a buy and then you've got two or three open spots. 396 00:23:03,640 --> 00:23:08,720 And that person gets an opportunity to defend their belt or their title. 397 00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:15,920 I'd say you have the first round buy, not all the way to the final because there was 398 00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:17,160 three different casts. 399 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:21,440 There was early, late, and then that broke it down to the final three. 400 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:24,440 So I would say you get a buy of the first round. 401 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:28,160 But here's the problem with the Battle of the Brides. 402 00:23:28,160 --> 00:23:31,760 What happens if that bride is in heat? 403 00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:35,040 It's all female hunt, doesn't matter. 404 00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,720 Well, here's my question on that though. 405 00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:42,920 If Juliet's day nine, are you going to take her out there in the middle of the woods and 406 00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:43,920 cut her loose? 407 00:23:43,920 --> 00:23:49,000 Put a little pine tar on her and go off. 408 00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:50,000 Yeah. 409 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:55,920 Oh, Lane Lever says, Hey, I ain't never done it. 410 00:23:55,920 --> 00:23:58,080 I ain't never not done it. 411 00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:01,680 But seriously, I mean, these are ideas that could be, you know, it could be. 412 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:06,360 You can spice things up a little bit, give them an opportunity to defend it. 413 00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:08,000 Let me tell y'all something else. 414 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,040 They was really good about this hunt. 415 00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:15,040 Having just a final three on Saturday night. 416 00:24:15,040 --> 00:24:21,240 I think there was 500 and some odd viewers watching that live where, you know, when you 417 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:24,320 got two rounds on Saturday and you're wee hours in the morning, you don't get a lot 418 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:25,320 of that. 419 00:24:25,320 --> 00:24:28,640 Everybody's trying to watch it the next day, but there was, there was that many people 420 00:24:28,640 --> 00:24:29,720 watching that. 421 00:24:29,720 --> 00:24:33,120 And that, that format right there works pretty good. 422 00:24:33,120 --> 00:24:34,120 Yeah. 423 00:24:34,120 --> 00:24:36,960 I'm a big fan of that. 424 00:24:36,960 --> 00:24:37,960 That that early cast. 425 00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,200 And I mean, heck, I was back home by 11 o'clock. 426 00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:47,440 You know, people was, they like going to church on Sunday morning, you know? 427 00:24:47,440 --> 00:24:48,440 Yeah. 428 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:49,440 Yeah. 429 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:50,440 Yeah, absolutely. 430 00:24:50,440 --> 00:24:54,160 But I do like what, I do like what Bryce said, you know, maybe in the future, the winner 431 00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:58,880 automatically makes it because your late round was heads up, right? 432 00:24:58,880 --> 00:24:59,880 Yes. 433 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:00,880 Yeah. 434 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:03,560 What if the winner automatically makes it the heads up? 435 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,720 We'll have to give that some thought. 436 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:07,720 Yeah. 437 00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,080 I mean, we'll have to give that some thought. 438 00:25:10,080 --> 00:25:14,640 We didn't do it on this first one, but we might, we might fix it where you have to have 439 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:15,640 to defend. 440 00:25:15,640 --> 00:25:16,640 Yeah. 441 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:17,640 You couldn't do it on the first one. 442 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:18,640 It was the inaugural. 443 00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:21,160 You didn't have anybody to defend it on the first one. 444 00:25:21,160 --> 00:25:22,160 Yeah. 445 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:26,360 But I'm talking, you know, we, we didn't set it up with the winner to say, all right, now 446 00:25:26,360 --> 00:25:28,080 you got to defend this next year. 447 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,240 Well, they don't need, they don't have to. 448 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:32,620 This is an opportunity for them to defend it. 449 00:25:32,620 --> 00:25:35,400 They get the privilege to defend it. 450 00:25:35,400 --> 00:25:39,920 They can bow down and quit and they can be a quitter or they can come out and defend 451 00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:40,920 it. 452 00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:44,040 It's how you word it. 453 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:45,040 It's a final three. 454 00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:50,320 We can turn it into a final four being set that dog automatically gets to finals. 455 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:51,320 Ooh. 456 00:25:51,320 --> 00:25:53,840 See, that's where I was going with it earlier, Basham. 457 00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:55,760 See, we're just getting a hamster. 458 00:25:55,760 --> 00:25:57,420 We're just getting the hamster going. 459 00:25:57,420 --> 00:25:59,320 That's exactly what I was saying earlier, Basham. 460 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:00,640 You just take it to a final four. 461 00:26:00,640 --> 00:26:01,840 You have the same format. 462 00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,760 You keep, you get your three dogs the same way you did it, but this dog just gets, they 463 00:26:05,760 --> 00:26:07,560 are there in the finals. 464 00:26:07,560 --> 00:26:11,880 Like they get a chance to defend it. 465 00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:12,880 I like it. 466 00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:13,880 I think it's salty. 467 00:26:13,880 --> 00:26:17,280 I think it spices things up. 468 00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:24,620 That or maybe the winner next year, when this hunt is over, the winner this year gets to 469 00:26:24,620 --> 00:26:28,400 meet heads up with that winner. 470 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:30,160 He has to defend against the winner. 471 00:26:30,160 --> 00:26:31,520 Just like a battle roll. 472 00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:35,360 They have a battle roll in WWE for a chance at the top. 473 00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:40,920 Well, you know, the winner of the punt this coming year, maybe them two type heads up 474 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:41,920 to defend the belt. 475 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,880 That's almost like a king of the hill. 476 00:26:43,880 --> 00:26:44,880 You know what? 477 00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:46,200 You already know what you got to do. 478 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:49,080 So you're going to have the battle of the big dog, right? 479 00:26:49,080 --> 00:26:50,640 That's right. 480 00:26:50,640 --> 00:26:52,720 And I'm jumping ahead just a little bit. 481 00:26:52,720 --> 00:26:54,520 Lane's going to talk about it in just a second. 482 00:26:54,520 --> 00:27:00,760 But you've got to get another belt because Pearl's got to go up against the winner of 483 00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:02,200 the big dog. 484 00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,160 Oh yeah. 485 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,080 So overall. 486 00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,160 Yeah. 487 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,040 So you could have your battle of the bride goes up against the badly big dog. 488 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:14,680 They both have their own belt. 489 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:19,800 Their own individual championship, but they are fighting for the king of the hill pro 490 00:27:19,800 --> 00:27:22,640 sport king of the hill or king of the hill. 491 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,440 And how well you can't say that because if the female wins, she's not really the king. 492 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:26,840 But you know what I'm saying? 493 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:27,840 You know, yeah. 494 00:27:27,840 --> 00:27:28,840 Yeah. 495 00:27:28,840 --> 00:27:31,560 The pro sport top dog. 496 00:27:31,560 --> 00:27:33,280 It's a lot of ideas there. 497 00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:35,520 But we're good at ideas. 498 00:27:35,520 --> 00:27:37,240 That was a good segue. 499 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:38,240 Yeah. 500 00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,240 Roll into it, Bastian. 501 00:27:39,240 --> 00:27:40,240 Roll it. 502 00:27:40,240 --> 00:27:41,240 Roll into it. 503 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:42,240 Go ahead, Lane. 504 00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:44,760 Wait a minute before we get into that. 505 00:27:44,760 --> 00:27:48,560 There's something else I forgot to mention. 506 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:53,880 You know, on this battle of the brides, we made a few phone calls and we had a list of 507 00:27:53,880 --> 00:27:57,480 stud owners with some of the major dogs that are breeding right now. 508 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:01,360 All donated a stud feed to the final three. 509 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:06,440 Any one of the final three can breed to the dog of their choice on this list for free. 510 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:08,560 And you know, there were some good dogs on that. 511 00:28:08,560 --> 00:28:16,440 So I want to thank them guys, you know, that donated them, you know, Rackham, Willie, Trigger, 512 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:20,280 Shannon Martin and Pyr Trill, Scott Engels, too. 513 00:28:20,280 --> 00:28:22,800 Billy Bales, too. 514 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:24,560 Lane Denny put one on there. 515 00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:28,160 If I'm forgetting anybody, I'm sorry. 516 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:33,960 But you know, there's pretty neat, you know, just think what a pup should be worth if the 517 00:28:33,960 --> 00:28:40,560 battle of the big dog was crossed with the, the bride. 518 00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,040 Yeah, that'd be awesome. 519 00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:44,040 That'd be awesome. 520 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:45,040 That'd be cool. 521 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,560 All right, tell us about this battle of the big dog. 522 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:50,040 Let's hear about it. 523 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:52,080 Let's grow right into it. 524 00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,560 Battle of the big dogs. 525 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:58,560 Number one, we're going to do it a little different than we did last time. 526 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:04,160 We're going to let everybody, dogs qualifications on this are going to have to be a platinum 527 00:29:04,160 --> 00:29:12,280 champion or they've won at least 20,000 in pro sport. 528 00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:18,520 We're going to let people nominate their dog on the list and we're going to put that list 529 00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:21,840 so that we're not just going to pick them at random who we think we're going to put 530 00:29:21,840 --> 00:29:27,800 them on the wheel and spin them and we're going to take 36. 531 00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:30,200 So we're going to spend the wheel 30s for 30s. 532 00:29:30,200 --> 00:29:33,960 Well, we're going to spend the wheel for 35 inches. 533 00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:38,080 The male dog that is leading the pro sport race this time, which looks like it's going 534 00:29:38,080 --> 00:29:44,600 to be Nikki Hale, he will automatically have a ticket to it. 535 00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:47,200 He will be the pro sport leader. 536 00:29:47,200 --> 00:29:48,560 He will automatically be in. 537 00:29:48,560 --> 00:29:49,560 Okay. 538 00:29:49,560 --> 00:29:59,760 So we'll spend the wheel for 35 spots and them dogs will be chose to compete for the 539 00:29:59,760 --> 00:30:01,760 battle of the big dogs. 540 00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:05,720 We're going to have the only thing, you know, this is going to be different. 541 00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:07,880 This hunt is somehow I'm going to make it big. 542 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:12,640 We're going to have more prizes, more online. 543 00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,720 We're going to try to have some live interviews. 544 00:30:14,720 --> 00:30:20,200 I mean, we're going to do some stuff, you know, bigger and better. 545 00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:21,600 We're going to run the Calcutta. 546 00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:25,320 I know we kind of got a late start on the Calcutta. 547 00:30:25,320 --> 00:30:30,260 Just so everybody knows, you're going to be listening to this on Black Friday, the week 548 00:30:30,260 --> 00:30:42,560 of that week starting on December 23rd, we are going to start the Calcutta and it's going 549 00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:47,760 to run all week until the draw on Friday. 550 00:30:47,760 --> 00:30:51,320 And this hunt battle of the big dogs, I don't think anybody said it yet, but just to clarify, 551 00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:52,640 it's the male hunt. 552 00:30:52,640 --> 00:30:56,040 So it's done just like the battle of the brides, but this is all male hunt. 553 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,000 Yes, sir. 554 00:30:58,000 --> 00:30:59,000 Okay. 555 00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:01,920 Yeah, hopefully I get drawed for this hunt. 556 00:31:01,920 --> 00:31:04,000 You better not draw. 557 00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,000 The other thing we're going to do on that draw, you say, say, bash and get his dog drawn 558 00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:13,000 on there and the entries go to the dog, not the person. 559 00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:19,320 So I use a trigger for instance, say trigger gets drawn, but at the last minute something 560 00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,160 happens and trigger can't come. 561 00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:23,160 He can't just sell that entry or do something. 562 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:25,920 He's got to let us know, we're going to draw that list all the way through. 563 00:31:25,920 --> 00:31:30,400 We're going to go to the next available on every entry. 564 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,800 So we're going to do it that way. 565 00:31:33,800 --> 00:31:36,920 Are you going to try to do this for the battle of the brides next year? 566 00:31:36,920 --> 00:31:37,920 Yes. 567 00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:41,360 That's going to be the way we choose them from now on. 568 00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:42,360 I like that. 569 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:48,260 I do like that as well too, because it takes the pressure off of you guys and the ridicule 570 00:31:48,260 --> 00:31:50,200 for saying, why didn't this dog make it? 571 00:31:50,200 --> 00:31:52,740 Well, this dog was qualified and this dog was capable. 572 00:31:52,740 --> 00:31:54,120 Why didn't you choose them? 573 00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:55,320 It takes it off of you. 574 00:31:55,320 --> 00:31:57,400 If you think you got one, they can handle it. 575 00:31:57,400 --> 00:32:01,920 As long as it meets this criteria, which you're saying is a platinum champion in PKC or a 576 00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:06,760 $20,000 winner in pro sport, pony up, big boy, put your money up and nominate yourself 577 00:32:06,760 --> 00:32:07,760 and let's go play. 578 00:32:07,760 --> 00:32:08,760 Saddle up. 579 00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:09,760 That's right. 580 00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:10,760 That's exactly right. 581 00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:17,280 And you know, and I'll tell you another thing it does, it locks them entries in a little 582 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:22,360 better instead of calling around and saying, Hey, we want to invite you to this hunt. 583 00:32:22,360 --> 00:32:25,560 We want to invite you here, this dog and this dog. 584 00:32:25,560 --> 00:32:27,920 Okay, we'll come. 585 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,720 You know that when your name gets put on that wheel, you're in. 586 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,800 So you know, you, you, you didn't, you wasn't asked to do it. 587 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:38,880 You put your dog in there. 588 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,520 So that's going to hold people a little more accountable for them interest to show up like, 589 00:32:42,520 --> 00:32:45,080 you know, like they won't say they are. 590 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:47,560 So and, and like you say, we pick them at random. 591 00:32:47,560 --> 00:32:52,080 So we're not just picking, we don't get, well, y'all just the buddy system. 592 00:32:52,080 --> 00:32:54,760 You know, you just went through and pick this one, pick that note. 593 00:32:54,760 --> 00:33:00,320 If your dog's qualified, if he meets that criteria, like you said, get in where you 594 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:04,280 fit in, you know, cause it's going to be a, it's going to be a hell of a night. 595 00:33:04,280 --> 00:33:06,000 Yeah, absolutely. 596 00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:12,880 So just a question because the brain's thinking, um, and, and there's only one dog that comes 597 00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:13,880 into mine. 598 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:17,680 And the only reason why I bring it up is cause I automatically thought about him whenever 599 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:22,720 you were talking about 20,000 in either PKC or pro sport. 600 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:30,840 What if they got 20,000 in UKC, but they don't really hunt pro sport or PKC, man, you're 601 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:31,840 reaching hard. 602 00:33:31,840 --> 00:33:32,840 We go. 603 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:34,360 It's still 20,000. 604 00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,900 It's still 20,001. 605 00:33:35,900 --> 00:33:39,720 I'm just asking, which dog are you talking about? 606 00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:40,720 Yeah. 607 00:33:40,720 --> 00:33:41,720 Really? 608 00:33:41,720 --> 00:33:42,720 Preacher man. 609 00:33:42,720 --> 00:33:43,720 Preacher. 610 00:33:43,720 --> 00:33:44,720 Yep. 611 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,720 Oh, yeah. 612 00:33:45,720 --> 00:33:50,120 So, um, we hadn't considered taking UKC. 613 00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:55,000 I don't know why we hadn't, but we didn't cause heck, they usually, you know, other 614 00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:00,680 than the tournament of champions, I don't even know what they give any money for. 615 00:34:00,680 --> 00:34:01,680 I don't know. 616 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:05,360 I mean, they do have, they do have like pro slams and stuff. 617 00:34:05,360 --> 00:34:09,600 Now they're doing it like almost like a pro classic where they're paying out, you know, 618 00:34:09,600 --> 00:34:11,620 7,500 or something to win. 619 00:34:11,620 --> 00:34:12,620 They do have those. 620 00:34:12,620 --> 00:34:14,080 They're few and far between there. 621 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:15,160 They're trying to build that. 622 00:34:15,160 --> 00:34:16,160 They do have that. 623 00:34:16,160 --> 00:34:20,000 And they do have a list of all time money winners that you can find. 624 00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:21,000 Yeah. 625 00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:24,360 I think UKC is coming on pretty strong with their hunks too. 626 00:34:24,360 --> 00:34:26,360 I mean, they're really building. 627 00:34:26,360 --> 00:34:28,440 Um, can I answer your question? 628 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:30,080 I cannot answer that question. 629 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,200 That's something I'd have to get back to you on, but as of right now, we're going by the 630 00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:35,200 pro sport PKC. 631 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:38,600 You don't have to take that to the board board members. 632 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:39,600 Yeah. 633 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:40,600 Yeah. 634 00:34:40,600 --> 00:34:43,840 We'll have to discuss it with the guys. 635 00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:44,840 Okay. 636 00:34:44,840 --> 00:34:46,160 So what's the dates and location? 637 00:34:46,160 --> 00:34:49,720 Where's the battle of big dogs going to be hunt when and where? 638 00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:56,000 And it's just Springs, Tennessee, December 27th and 28th. 639 00:34:56,000 -->

Yeah. 646 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:14,960 Are we going on the same prize payout as battle of the brides? 647 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:16,400 No, it'll be more. 648 00:35:16,400 --> 00:35:17,400 We're going to take more dollars. 649 00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:20,600 We're going to take 36 instead of 24. 650 00:35:20,600 --> 00:35:21,600 Okay. 651 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,240 Do you have that prize

other folks will, you know, join in with us, but I plan on having even 660 00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:47,000 more than before. 661 00:35:47,000 --> 00:35:48,000 Yeah, that'd be awesome. 662 00:35:48,000 --> 00:35:52,720 I, bash when I talk about this, we'd like to become down there, especially with it being 663 00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,080 Christmas, the week of Christmas, I should have off work. 664 00:35:55,080 --> 00:35:57,800 So we're going to try and come down there and get some interviews. 665 00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:00,680 Come on and set up. 666 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:02,920 We'll be

going to take? 670 00:36:08,720 --> 00:36:13,600 I mean, I've got a couple different ones, but I'll probably put a country boy on there. 671 00:36:13,600 --> 00:36:15,760 There you go, man. 672 00:36:15,760 --> 00:36:18,560 I'm putting this on and don't even have one. 673 00:36:18,560 --> 00:36:19,560 Yeah. 674 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:23,200 I mean, can you see me behind a blue dog? 675 00:36:23,200 --> 00:36:27,720 I see you for whatever the heck you can try and get your hands on. 676 00:36:27,720 --> 00:36:34,280 Well, I don't, I'll tell you what, it'd be a perfect time. 677 00:36:34,280 --> 00:36:41,480 December in Tennessee with the way the Coons move for a blue dog. 678 00:36:41,480 --> 00:36:47,000 It'd be a good time of December for a Coon dog. 679 00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:48,960 Yeah, absolutely. 680 00:36:48,960 --> 00:36:54,760 I will say this about him and I'm not, like I said, I'm not one to beef up somebody else's 681 00:36:54,760 --> 00:36:59,480 dog, but I had that sucker here for three months. 682 00:36:59,480 --> 00:37:07,880 And if there's one thing that that dog and he, he just is extremely good at, and that 683 00:37:07,880 --> 00:37:09,560 is being a Coon dog. 684 00:37:09,560 --> 00:37:15,360 He may not be the best competition dog, but when that dude's feet hit the wood, you better 685 00:37:15,360 --> 00:37:16,680 cock your gun. 686 00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:20,320 Well, that's what it takes in this country. 687 00:37:20,320 --> 00:37:23,640 Well, that's, I mean, that's pretty exciting. 688 00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:29,440 I'm like, glad to see that people are stepping out and they're trying to do innovative things. 689 00:37:29,440 --> 00:37:36,000 You know, the sport is evolving and every time I'm like, all right, man, well we've, 690 00:37:36,000 --> 00:37:38,200 we've maxed out what's going to happen next. 691 00:37:38,200 --> 00:37:43,120 Boom, here comes another hunt with a different format, which I think is great. 692 00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:47,040 People are putting their minds together and they're coming up with some really cool stuff. 693 00:37:47,040 --> 00:37:51,600 One of them that comes to mind, I just saw the ad for it is the Polaris bonanza or whatever 694 00:37:51,600 --> 00:37:55,120 they're doing over there in Illinois where they're giving out like three or four different 695 00:37:55,120 --> 00:37:59,240 or three different players, Rangers, nine players, four wheelers. 696 00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:00,240 Is it sick? 697 00:38:00,240 --> 00:38:01,240 Yeah, something like that. 698 00:38:01,240 --> 00:38:02,240 Yeah. 699 00:38:02,240 --> 00:38:03,240 Six or nine players, four wheelers. 700 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:08,040 I mean, that's a heck of a hunt, you know, $3,000 fee get you in for three days of trying 701 00:38:08,040 --> 00:38:10,720 and get you three chances, but it's, it's innovative. 702 00:38:10,720 --> 00:38:11,960 It's thinking outside of the box. 703 00:38:11,960 --> 00:38:16,040 It's something different than money or a truck or, you know, it's, it's just very cool to 704 00:38:16,040 --> 00:38:20,120 see all you guys putting your minds together and trying to do something different. 705 00:38:20,120 --> 00:38:28,680 Let me tell you, we can all go to a hunt anywhere in the country that pays good money, but sometimes 706 00:38:28,680 --> 00:38:32,480 the money's, it's not all about the money. 707 00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:39,800 You know, 10 years from now, my little boys, I got a little boy's three year old 10 years 708 00:38:39,800 --> 00:38:44,640 from now, none of that 6,000, nine one's going to be there. 709 00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:51,360 That belt, you know, when I passed away and he gets my belongings, you know, when he digs 710 00:38:51,360 --> 00:38:56,920 in that drawer and he gets that pocket knife, it says battle of the brides or, you know, 711 00:38:56,920 --> 00:38:59,400 guys, guys kid down the road. 712 00:38:59,400 --> 00:39:03,440 One day looks up in that belt, sitting on hanging on the trophy cake. 713 00:39:03,440 --> 00:39:06,000 You know, that it's kind of means a little something. 714 00:39:06,000 --> 00:39:10,160 Sometimes the it's, it's not always about the money. 715 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:15,240 Sometimes the prizes and the titles, you know, mean a lot to us too. 716 00:39:15,240 --> 00:39:19,600 I'm going to tell you something that I regret more than anything is I used to be, I didn't 717 00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:25,480 hunt my first PKC hunt until 2016, something like that. 718 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:29,120 I was, I was big where I lived at. 719 00:39:29,120 --> 00:39:33,480 There just wasn't a lot of PKC hunts. 720 00:39:33,480 --> 00:39:36,840 And it was just UKC through and through and through. 721 00:39:36,840 --> 00:39:44,600 And I remember one year I took four dogs from never winning a cast to being grand night. 722 00:39:44,600 --> 00:39:51,160 And that was back when only one night champion got a night champion win, the highest scoring 723 00:39:51,160 --> 00:39:52,880 night champion. 724 00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:58,960 And so, I mean, I've, I won a Walker sectional at tell city, like the queen of the hunt three 725 00:39:58,960 --> 00:39:59,960 years in a row. 726 00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:07,240 And so I had all these plaques and clocks and trophies and, and one day I just got tired 727 00:40:07,240 --> 00:40:09,040 of dusting them off. 728 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:13,360 And I went and took every one of them trophies and gave them to a club. 729 00:40:13,360 --> 00:40:21,000 And you know, the older I get now, I regret that bigger than anything in this world. 730 00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:23,040 Yes. 731 00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:29,520 I'm telling you, it's, them trophies, sometimes you look around and you don't think they mean 732 00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:33,680 nothing, but one day they'll mean, they'll mean something to somebody other than you. 733 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:36,160 Now, they'll even mean something to you. 734 00:40:36,160 --> 00:40:39,720 You know, when you've got, when you're getting older and you're putting together a hunting 735 00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:43,680 room or shed and you're like, man, what do I hang on the walls? 736 00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:49,480 And then I'll tell you who really, who really made me set back and think about it was Don 737 00:40:49,480 --> 00:40:50,480 Dunlap. 738 00:40:50,480 --> 00:41:00,040 And whenever they did, when they did the Dunlap boys and they did that podcast, who was it 739 00:41:00,040 --> 00:41:01,680 Jeremy that did it? 740 00:41:01,680 --> 00:41:02,800 Probably Josh. 741 00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:03,800 Or was it Mason? 742 00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:06,120 Josh, Michaelis did him, didn't he? 743 00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:07,760 Oh, that's what I meant. 744 00:41:07,760 --> 00:41:08,760 Not Jeremy, Josh. 745 00:41:08,760 --> 00:41:14,600 When Josh did it, they show the background and it's all of the trophies, you know, all 746 00:41:14,600 --> 00:41:16,640 over the walls and everything. 747 00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:19,600 And right then I was like, man. 748 00:41:19,600 --> 00:41:25,160 I've got pictures, I've got pictures on my phone of like, man, I had like two walls completely 749 00:41:25,160 --> 00:41:26,400 covered in trophies. 750 00:41:26,400 --> 00:41:29,920 I just got tired of them and I gave them all to a hunting club. 751 00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,480 And that's something that I regret. 752 00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:38,080 But I think that's a generational thing because so, you know, you take Don, I mean, he's older 753 00:41:38,080 --> 00:41:39,080 than you. 754 00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,080 Um, yeah. 755 00:41:40,080 --> 00:41:41,760 Look at my father-in-law, Curtis Elburn. 756 00:41:41,760 --> 00:41:47,880 If you walk into his basement, it is legitimately mind boggling. 757 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:53,280 How many trophies are in that basement from all of these Coonhound events? 758 00:41:53,280 --> 00:41:54,760 He's got a pool table. 759 00:41:54,760 --> 00:41:58,880 The whole thing is got shelves on it, stacked of Coonhound trophies. 760 00:41:58,880 --> 00:42:00,800 You go into the other room, he's got a wall. 761 00:42:00,800 --> 00:42:04,960 It's got four layers stacked of Coonhound trophies. 762 00:42:04,960 --> 00:42:10,240 He's got sections built for all the Texas Longhorn, the horn measuring world championships 763 00:42:10,240 --> 00:42:11,240 that he's won. 764 00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:16,160 I don't think he's ever thrown a trophy away from the day that he was a peewee, you know, 765 00:42:16,160 --> 00:42:18,080 that he's got every one of them. 766 00:42:18,080 --> 00:42:19,680 You cannot move in there. 767 00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:21,300 There's so many trophies. 768 00:42:21,300 --> 00:42:25,800 But then you look down at my wife, Nikki, his daughter, and she cleaned out trophies 769 00:42:25,800 --> 00:42:26,800 a month ago. 770 00:42:26,800 --> 00:42:31,080 She went through our closet and there they went just like you right to a club or to the 771 00:42:31,080 --> 00:42:32,680 trash one of the other. 772 00:42:32,680 --> 00:42:34,320 And it's like, it'll never happen. 773 00:42:34,320 --> 00:42:36,200 It'll never happen again. 774 00:42:36,200 --> 00:42:40,760 Every trophy that I get from this point forward is going to be saved. 775 00:42:40,760 --> 00:42:42,200 Yeah. 776 00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:47,000 I've got my little wall of memory big up here myself and I've told my wife several times, 777 00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:49,480 I'm going to take that out and put it in the shop out there. 778 00:42:49,480 --> 00:42:52,480 And she's like, no, you let that sit right there. 779 00:42:52,480 --> 00:42:53,480 Yep. 780 00:42:53,480 --> 00:42:54,480 Yep. 781 00:42:54,480 --> 00:42:55,480 Awesome. 782 00:42:55,480 --> 00:42:59,560 Well, guys, I told you at the very beginning of this, this was Semper, Dog, and Mobile. 783 00:42:59,560 --> 00:43:02,120 My laptop is getting ready to crash on us here, boys. 784 00:43:02,120 --> 00:43:04,120 So we need to wrap this up here pretty quickly. 785 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,840 Lane, thanks for joining us again, buddy. 786 00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,360 Is there anything else that you need to cover on Battle of the Brides or Battle of the Big 787 00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:11,360 Dogs? 788 00:43:11,360 --> 00:43:17,600 Oh, I want to answer, I want to answer a question for some people out there. 789 00:43:17,600 --> 00:43:29,240 I've been asked multiple times why I choose pro sport to go with on these kind of hunts. 790 00:43:29,240 --> 00:43:35,320 And I want to, I want to tell you a little bit about why I choose pro sport. 791 00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:37,960 Number one, I really like the, I like their association. 792 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:38,960 I like the rules. 793 00:43:38,960 --> 00:43:40,400 I like the guys that run it. 794 00:43:40,400 --> 00:43:44,920 But I'm going to give you a couple reasons. 795 00:43:44,920 --> 00:43:53,400 Several years back, I was second with Jeff Stallard in the PKC Nationals. 796 00:43:53,400 --> 00:43:58,520 We received our rewards in the motel parking lot. 797 00:43:58,520 --> 00:44:00,160 Here you go, boys. 798 00:44:00,160 --> 00:44:02,840 There it is and gone. 799 00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:11,760 When I was third in the world hunt, me and Kevin Cable and we go back to the club there 800 00:44:11,760 --> 00:44:14,560 at the fairgrounds. 801 00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:25,600 There was one person there to hand us our plaques and our checks and shake our hand. 802 00:44:25,600 --> 00:44:31,680 When you go to these pro sport hunts, these guys are on the finals with you, judging it, 803 00:44:31,680 --> 00:44:33,720 they're out there in amongst. 804 00:44:33,720 --> 00:44:39,800 When you get back, you realize you've done something. 805 00:44:39,800 --> 00:44:44,840 It's more of a family oriented thing amongst us hunters. 806 00:44:44,840 --> 00:44:50,840 But the way them guys take pride in what they do and they're there at the end of the hunt, 807 00:44:50,840 --> 00:44:52,880 it's not just about the money with these guys. 808 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,480 It's not about how much they can make or do because they pay out a lot of what they take 809 00:44:57,480 --> 00:45:00,400 in, they pay back out. 810 00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:04,800 On these hunts, they don't make much, but it's more about the dog and the prizes and 811 00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:07,160 the hunters. 812 00:45:07,160 --> 00:45:12,720 I am very proud to be a supporter of pro sport and very proud to have them on board with 813 00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:14,440 what we're doing here. 814 00:45:14,440 --> 00:45:24,480 To answer people's questions, wife, go to the other hunts and come to a pro sport hunt 815 00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:28,440 and you'll understand what I mean. 816 00:45:28,440 --> 00:45:33,000 I won't leak by saying that. 817 00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:41,240 I would say there's only one other registry that could compete with pro sport on and it's 818 00:45:41,240 --> 00:45:45,000 just because they have the infrastructure to do it. 819 00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:48,920 That's the way UKC runs their tournament of champions and their world hunt. 820 00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:54,600 When you come back in, you get interviewed, they're running a commentary interview just 821 00:45:54,600 --> 00:45:57,960 like ESPN at the table. 822 00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,240 That's a real production. 823 00:46:00,240 --> 00:46:04,400 Like I said, the difference is they've got the infrastructure. 824 00:46:04,400 --> 00:46:10,520 They've got a production team that is hired to do all that. 825 00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:11,520 They are. 826 00:46:11,520 --> 00:46:13,960 Pro sport, I think will be there one day, the way they keep going. 827 00:46:13,960 --> 00:46:15,040 I'm not saying they won't. 828 00:46:15,040 --> 00:46:21,220 I'm just saying all I was meaning by that is there's only one other kennel club that 829 00:46:21,220 --> 00:46:27,120 could compete on that realm and that would be how UKC runs their big hunts. 830 00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,920 That's all I was getting. 831 00:46:30,920 --> 00:46:33,320 They run it and they're there to support their hunters. 832 00:46:33,320 --> 00:46:34,880 They're there behind them. 833 00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:37,960 And to me, that makes a big difference. 834 00:46:37,960 --> 00:46:47,480 We spend a lot of money chasing these dreams and chasing these hunts. 835 00:46:47,480 --> 00:46:52,280 That little bit of appreciation showed to the participants of these hunts really means 836 00:46:52,280 --> 00:46:53,280 a lot. 837 00:46:53,280 --> 00:46:55,120 It does to me. 838 00:46:55,120 --> 00:46:56,640 I agree 100%. 839 00:46:56,640 --> 00:46:57,840 It's going the extra mile. 840 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:01,080 It's going above and beyond. 841 00:47:01,080 --> 00:47:09,000 It's the attention to detail that stands out and that people remember. 842 00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,360 But they're there from the beginning to the end. 843 00:47:14,360 --> 00:47:16,960 They own it. 844 00:47:16,960 --> 00:47:20,400 That hunt this weekend, they could very well send me a package and say, here you go, put 845 00:47:20,400 --> 00:47:21,400 your hunt on. 846 00:47:21,400 --> 00:47:22,840 But no, sir. 847 00:47:22,840 --> 00:47:26,600 Greg Maynard's down there in the fire, walking on the cast. 848 00:47:26,600 --> 00:47:28,400 I'm doing a video and doing it. 849 00:47:28,400 --> 00:47:29,400 You've seen it. 850 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:33,520 They're up and coming and they're changing the game. 851 00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,520 I'll tell you that. 852 00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:35,520 They're changing. 853 00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:38,080 I'll agree with that. 854 00:47:38,080 --> 00:47:41,000 Everything in life has got to evolve and get better. 855 00:47:41,000 --> 00:47:43,600 When you stay at one place so long, it gets stale. 856 00:47:43,600 --> 00:47:47,360 I think we've gotten stale with some of these other groups. 857 00:47:47,360 --> 00:47:51,760 But it's just getting better and keeping more. 858 00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:53,920 It's more every time you turn around. 859 00:47:53,920 --> 00:47:54,920 It's something new. 860 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:56,840 You've got to keep evolving. 861 00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,000 You've got to keep raising the bar. 862 00:48:00,000 --> 00:48:04,360 I want to be one of the first ones to say, Mr. Lane, we appreciate your dedication to 863 00:48:04,360 --> 00:48:06,000 the sport. 864 00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:12,240 We appreciate your dedication to just trying to put a smile on people's face, all the way 865 00:48:12,240 --> 00:48:17,400 from me and you, me and you trucking down to North Carolina and trying to help them 866 00:48:17,400 --> 00:48:22,160 to you trying to put on another hunt. 867 00:48:22,160 --> 00:48:27,760 One thing that I've really come to learn about you is you're a guy of the people. 868 00:48:27,760
