That was by far the best outro ever. My husband and I always talked about how much we hoped you would have a new outro song but this just topped all expectations 😂😂😂
I live in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and my significant other has a home in Northern Wisconsin. In my opinion the deer harvest numbers are down, but I don’t think any one thing can be pinpointed. First, yes the bumper crop of acorns accompanied by warmer than usual temperatures without significant snow accumulation means that the deer had a lot more access to food without the need to come to a field or a bait. We have a 135 ish tree apple orchard along with a 1 acre food plot and we had an average of 5 doe with fawns and a couple younger without fawns here regularly. We also had 3 smaller bucks hanging around regularly. Usually we have twice that many during bow season. A good friend of mine owns property in the U.P. where the deer normally yard up in the winter. Usually, on any given year, he averages about 150+ deer at the feed yard every night, and the MI DNR provides him with food to supplement them through the winter. No fences or anything, just supplementing in their natural winter homes. This year there is between 55 and 75. Down by half. Now some of that could have to do with the unseasonably warm temperatures, the deer have not truly “yarded up” all winter. As the owner of an RV park, during hunting season I allow hunters to come use the shower facilities for a small fee per person. So I talk to a lot of the guys during rifle season. Only about 20% of them actually shot a deer this year, and our local Deer Hunters Roundup also had less than half of the usual number of bucks being brought in. I do agree that hunter numbers in general are down. Even though less than half of the people who normally weigh in for the Roundup did, I do also know that the bars with Buck Pools did experience an average of 30% (give or take) fewer entries than in recent years. On top of all that, we have had some pretty rough winters in recent years. One year was really bitter cold and windy in our area. Another year in mid November we got an obscene amount of snow over a very short time period and the deer were caught out of the yards. Last year was a roller coaster, both significant snowfall and the cold temperatures hung on way later into the spring than normal, even once May and June got here the temperatures were quite a bit below average. Finally, and I don’t want to blame it all on this one thing and that is why I saved it for last, we do have an absolutely booming wolf population in the U.P and N Wisc. When you add that on top of other environmental factors that could be effecting the deer population eventually the scales are going to tip. The natural course of the predator/prey cycle is running its course, eventually if deer numbers drop then so will predator numbers, and as prey numbers go up so will predator numbers. While I do personally hope that a limited draw predator hunt happens in both WI and MI, I also don’t seek eradication. I believe that just like other states manage predators such as wolves, mountain lions, etc that so too should we manage those predators in our area. I’m sure there are things that I didn’t even think to take into account, however hopefully I was able to illustrate (from the perspective of person who lives and hunts here) how no one factor can be the cause of low harvest numbers and possibly a general decline in the overall deer herd. Personally I would prefer to get next years data before I jump to conclusions on whether or not deer herd numbers are down or if weather, availability of food and other factors contributed to this years harvest numbers.
Thanks for the tip dude! I listened to it on Spotify so I didn’t see the animation. Had to fast forward to the end of the video to see it. Totally worth it 😂
In Michigan, there was standing corn surrounding large chunks of public on the south side of the state that didn’t get harvested until after the new year. The sign was there but I believe a majority of it came from the night.
Such a great episode! Stoked you guys collabed, very cool to see the chemistry and genuine interest on both sides. When does this video episode come out?
Steve talked about tacos Al Pastor. Interestingly, mexico had a large influx of lebanese immigrants a long time ago. Like typical immigrants, they brought their cooking methods but didn't have the same ingredients like back home. Those immigrants brought the vertical spit, now called a trompo in Spanish. That vertical spit was used in lebanon to make shawarmas. Instead of the typical flat bread, they now had tortillas, and instead of the typical beef used, they now had tons of pork. Tacos Al Pastor is now one of the most common and cherished mexican dishes in mexico. I absolutely love how food and culture change with the immigration of people.
Came here to see the gift. Really cool. Now we know the next project they need to employ you on. Hunting Buffalo with spears. Then Woolly Mammoths once they get those cloned.
Loved this one so many formats covered 😊 training pup on pigeons in wild had sailing pigeon pup went after got bit by Rattlesnake had 15 miles to get her to vet and thank God this was able to meet me at clinic on Sunday and saved her but yes her face was swollen for week and had bare place on her nose the rest of her life interesting that they don't grow hair where they were bitten
It was for sure a mast year in western Oregon for white oaks, On my Oak woodland I didn’t see the abundance of acorns changing the deer’s behavior or feeding habits. The deer regularly graze on a variety of plant material and having an abundance of one type doesn’t change anything.
Ya know Philly 😂 if you could upload the UA-cam videos at the same time as Spotify that would make some of us happier. You made us wait for the spearheads and now I must call you Philly until we get same time drops.
To touch on the bumper crop acorn production year. A large factor of the amount of mast crop produced each year is the amount of rain in an area. The lower the amount of rain in an area the higher the mast crop production. The more rainfall the lower the mast production. This is to increase the rate of reproduction in case of stand of trees sruggles or dies due to drought. During drought years the stand of trees puts all of its energy into producing crop.
Such a great p-cast!! Laughed my ass off!! Wait just wait! I am 70 still going but there will be bumps along the way as well as your junk taped to your stomach!!! HAHA!
Regarding the sophmore slump: You've had your whole life to write your first effort, including the creme de la creme of your work. Second effort, what? 6 months,? a year?
From a hunter, working dog lover, and Texas panhandle cattle and horse guy, ask your veterinarian about Rattler Antivenom. It can be used in multiple species, and has a loooooooonnnngggg shelf life so it is much cheaper for a vet to keep in inventory, especially rural vets. Cal, if you are going to snake country, contact a vet in the area and ask if they have Rattler antivenom on their shelf. It is literally an IV bag and works wonders for bites. Instead of thousands of dollars for treatment it is closer to $500 and will save the animals life in a hurry. It can treat everything from a chihuahua to an elephant. I am not affiliated with the product in any way and get no kick back whatsoever from them. I am always surprised that hunters will spend years planning a hunting trip and not think twice about planning for emergency medicine for their animal they have spent years training. Just google veterinarian within a range of where you are going to be.
Hearing about this lady as a "professional harasser" and has a Posse..seriously?, when I lived in N. California, and I was taking the Hunter safety course, we had a guest speaker, a Game Warden, he spoke on something like this and he told all of us "I don't care if its my day off and I'm in my sweats an T-shirt watching the Game, hanging with family, if I get a call about someone/people harassing Hunters..I'll grab my badge/ side arm and I'm on my way, cause for one thing it's ILLEGAL to harass hunters and wildgame in order to deter them from danger during hunting season and I'll arrest them without hesitation" glad to know this, I haven't had anyone give me any crap in the woods yet.
Cal definitely missed the mark on the Akerns discussion. In Wi we had a record number of akerns drop this year. This correlated (but not 100% can say caused) a lower harvest of deer and especially bear. Bears did not need to travel to baits to feed same as deer. I would like to see cal stalk a bear in farm country or even hardwoods and get close enough for a shot. Not gonna happen. Same as deer, almost impossible to ground stalk a mature buck or even set up and sit a stand where a mature buck is living. I had a very nice mature 10 point that rarely moved out of a 5 acre plot of woods all season. Maybe I’m just not that skilled of a bow hunter but there was no way I could ever sneak into that woods without him spooking out.
100 percent warrants more discussion - classic wi answer on a low deer harvest is wolves, bears, crossbows, low hunters, too many doe permits rince recycle and repeat, blame-blame-blame without asking or thinking about other possibilities or taking the time to understand other perspectives. All of that has an impact, unquestionably, on the deer harvest, but there is so much more when you have a major change in a single year as opposed to a statistical nuance to review significant trend over 3-5 years. Nature does nature things and we need to pay attention. Eg. compare data against motor vehicle accident numbers is probably one of the more consitent and reliable data points, yet nobody will talk about it as it wont fit the easy narrative of wolves, crossbows, and doe permits.
Yall are the best... round 2 soon
The collab we never thought we needed but was graciously given nonetheless
BB on
Wasn't anything gracious about this. Lol Guys sat on the set for 30 minutes before they spoke. Gotta execute this better.
I came here because the sounds of the wrapping paper on the podcast only was driving me crazy, so I had to see it!
💯 did the same thing lol
Same!
Same.
Same.
Should definitely invite Taylor on an elk hunt, you know he can carry a heavy pack out.
The smile on Corinne's face as she pops the bubble wrap into the mic made my day!
That was by far the best outro ever. My husband and I always talked about how much we hoped you would have a new outro song but this just topped all expectations 😂😂😂
“Were you on the team too?” At 45:09 had me dying
For the Boys! Great Collab with the 2 best Pods.

Can we all appreciate the added animation to the deer skull along with the song.
Thanks for the tip dude! I listened to it on Spotify so I didn’t see the animation. Had to fast forward to the end of the video to see it. Totally worth it 😂
I gotta say I was down on you guys for the last pod, but this one made up for it and then some. Badass.

Love that song!!!
Came here from Spotify to watch cause of the unboxing lol
Missouri had hardly any hard Mast this year and had a very large deer harvest
I gotta know where i can download the whole song! 🤘

Pool noodles are also great when cut and used to keep your mucks nice.
What a crossover
Pool noodles are great walleye crawler harness holders
Best outro song yet
That outro was 🔥
There’s never been a better outtro
Such a great p-cast!! Laughed my ass off!! Wait just wait! I am 70 still going but there will be bumps along the way as well as your junk taped to your stomach!!! HAHA!
Where can we download the song
Just start each Meat Eater podcast with an item that is being unwrapped and everyone will migrate over to UA-cam. ☺️
Hey Steven you can find those same taco Al pastor in EAST LA
You guys need to listen to Hank Williams 3. Hands down the best hunting songs out there
Phil mid-sentence "Oooh bubble wrap!"
Bushin’ with the Boys
Curto muito esse documentário de caça...mas não tem tradução p português pois no Netflix já vi e revi 1000 vezes.
Red oak flats of woods will do this on a 4 year-ish cycle. It’s published in the literature.
Gotta be the coolest gift to get
For the boyzzzzz!!!!!
Bussin with the boys here on bussy eater
Boone & Crockett = 🔫
Pope & Young = 🏹
What are we calling the spear record books!?!?!
I vote Wells & Wells.
I'm a Meat eater Fan.. let's go Bussin with the Boys
The boys!!
The boys!!
Regarding the sophmore slump: You've had your whole life to write your first effort, including the creme de la creme of your work. Second effort, what? 6 months,? a year?
love this but is it me or this video plagued w/ ads?
The beginning of the outro kind of reminds me of metallicas rendition of turn the page
Snort is a great pup.
