 Morning sir. Got a hot cup of coffee sitting over here. It's like espresso strong. Good stuff. Yeah absolutely. How'd you sleep back here last night? It was good. I had a little condensation dripping off the top but other than that it was good. I like your little setup back here. Carpeted. Yeah I'm gonna miss you right now. System. Got the TP already ready to go. Yeah. Layed out. Man is ready to do business. I really couldn't sleep. I was pretty excited. I got up at five and the stars were just bright. Beautiful. It's gotten foggy though. Well something's going down today so your excitement will go to waste. Good deal. Clear night last night. There's zero wind and we are going to go to that ground blind that I've been seeing all these hogs at. The only thing is the last since the last video I did some really nice box have showed up. There's a there's an old old eight point. I mean just big girthy looks like a bulldog for hot here in Central Texas. And then there's a older seven point that I'm pretty sure that I saw once on a trail cam year previous and he was old and big and never saw him in real life. But it looks like he's gone downhill and he's kind of reaching the end of his tenure. And then there's another just like slick no brow. Six point that's in there. That's a great coal. So we are going to try to go after one of those coal blocks or get one of these pigs that have been just coming in. Either way it's going to be a good day in the outdoors with their old dad. So let's get out there and have a good time y'all. Enjoy the show. We were able to get one to come out and look a little bit with some rattling but not in that super aggressive mode. It seems it's unseasonably warm right now for December. So we are just we're gonna be dealing with some heat. We're gonna head back in get some breakfast and get ready for round two. Jeff fun this morning dad? I did. I liked the 10 point buck that was 20 yards away and I love seeing the river. God it's beautiful down there. It's good. Good morning. Can't complain. We come back to camp. Very grouped. Gave dad a tour of the place and we're going to go back out here in about an hour. We're going to sit in the same spot because there's three cul-blocks that are coming there. I think our odds are pretty good. It is hotter than 80s though. And just to add you know warmth to the soul out here. Gonna try something new. Haven't done this at deer camp yet. Tried to try doing a duck stew. Last time loved it but I've never just sat a stew on the fire all day. So just built a little cowboy camp fire right here over some coals or some wood. We went and sawed down some wood today. An old dead tree. Got one of these these cans a big can pot sitting right here and we're gonna leave this sitting over the fire. I've got some venison that is cooking up. Just braising it in a pan right now and I've got potatoes and beans and rice and a bunch of other good stuff in there. Some turkey stock from Thanksgiving. Just you know kind of a gumbo. Venison gumbo stew that we're gonna have tonight when we get in should be nice. Hopefully post a post harvest meal that is going to be fantastic. Yes sir. Got a little braised venison. Put it in manly chunks just for you dad. Right. Big old chunks. This isn't gonna be skimpy cambels right here. Take this off. Oh look at that steam coming out. Yeah boy. Deer camp isn't just about harvesting whitetails. It's about enjoying good company in the outdoors. And this is the best way to enjoy company in the outdoors. Have a good meal around the campfire. A little hole on the top of this pot lets that steam come out. Hot enough right now and we're gonna let the coals burn down. I'll stick it directly beside the coals when we go to hunt. Dad what did you think about being that close to whitetails this morning? Well you know we were so close I could smell it. You know I've never been 15-20 yards from one and to see them that close eye level is incredible. It really is. I've only killed one in my life and that was last year. It was very special. That's a trophy. It is. And that's a really good that's a really good point there pop. A trophy is really just whatever is in my mind is great in the moment to you. Right. You know it doesn't have to be a huge deer. You can shoot a six point deer but if it comes in close to you it's awesome. You get your heart pumping and feels awesome you know. Hey that's a trophy. It's whatever really gets you excited and you're gonna remember it for the rest of your life. So that's really what a trophy is. Same thing in fishing you know. Yeah a five pounder is pretty much a trophy for me but not so much for you you know. Yeah some people would say oh a five pounder is gigantic. Some people would say oh yeah I catch five pounders all the time. It's all about perspective. Just don't call my deer a cold deer. You got it. You didn't get one tonight but you know the best thing about not getting a deer a deer camp is. What's that. You don't have to clean it and you can sit around and drink. Oh my gosh look at that. Isn't that pretty. Look there's no lights over here. Something to behold man. There's foraging city. No lights. That is beautiful. A lot of meat chunks down there at the bottom of the field. That was our contribution to the deer camp today. We're going to switch things up tomorrow. Play the wind. The wind absolutely kills hunks if you don't have your wind right. Basically all that means is you don't want the wind pushing your scent towards the animal so just have to think about that. Look at the weather the night before and look at the wind. I hope it's going to happen. So we're going to a new stand today and here's the deal. If trophy comes out there's a couple in particular I'm thinking. I'm just going to let my dad take it and honestly it really makes me happy just going out with my family members and getting them on a deer. As a family we still get to eat the meat together so it's incredible. This is the blind that my dad got a 7-point last year and this is above where essentially backstrap shot my deer. It's about 150 yards apart. One is down in a gully. The other one's on top of the hill. We're going to the one on top of the hill. So we've actually seen some of the same deer going back and forth. It's a 50-50 shot that we'll see this deer that I saw the first night out here. I was scouting that deer for Mike. I was looking for a trophy buck for Mulletman but anyway he had to leave. He's gone so it's an open game right now and we are taking my undefeated rifle. My brace built 308. A little change of luck. This rifle has just got the mojo so we're bringing it in to take care of business. So let's get it loaded up. Let's head in there. Let's get a deer down. As soon as he came in but threw his head up sniffed and he smelled something he didn't think. The deer got kind of sketchy and they took off. That was awesome. That was crazy. It was a great morning. It really was. I would have liked to shot that big pig. He was big. I know a big poor. Let's go take a look at your pig. He got down here. Yeah let's go. No tracking necessary. He did a little spin and then he rested. That was it. Knocked a poo out of him. Told you I thought I got a good shot. You made a perfect shot right where you needed to be. So yeah finals on a pig are up here more. Pretty much past here your end guts. So you want to shoot them just directly on that shoulder. Get a salve so you're a good eater. Oh good. All right dad got a couple picks. The 308 sleeper still undefeated. One shot. One kill. Nicely done and I actually I think you clipped another one. I saw it kind of gimpin off there. So that's good. Two for one special on the hog game. I feel good that we helped the deer out today. Yeah. Help the whitetail. Yeah it was cool. When the hogs came in the old deer scattered. We shot the hog and then 20 minutes later the deer came back. Beautiful. Yeah. All right we'll get that one loaded up. Put it on the skin. We didn't get a buck but we got a big old hog. Got a big one. Could have shot a really big one. I was fully expecting us to get overrun with hogs like that first day and it just didn't happen and I was like all right it's meant to be. These bucks are going to come in it's going to be calm and then our final day they finally came in had to put them down. What an amazing sit though. Yeah. Been able to watch those hogs come in. We got one down and then we watched a handful of bucks. Literally a handful come in. Just wasn't the ones that I had had hope for. You still got a little time where we could come back and get one but good news is the Rackley family cooler at home is full. Folks don't know this but I actually keep both of my meat freezers at your house and we live a mile apart from each other so I go to the Rackley family grocery store to pick up my meat. I get a garage full of a nice venison and elk and hog and whatever else fish. You know LFG is really really an outstanding sun and I get to be a part of it all right. I just get to be a little small piece of it. People are always saying I want to see more videos with LFD so we don't do it enough but at least we got to. Yeah when I'm at work and you call me and say hey can you do this and sometimes I can say yes. Ask for forgiveness. Yeah there's no better therapy than the great outdoors. Fathers sometimes always gotta smash the like button for that. I think I might stay out here. I've got a hopefully a new surprise coming for the next video that we're gonna be filming so always good. Yes sir. Quality time in the outdoors. Most bucks I've ever seen in one city. Yeah we got to see some other really cool stuff too. Some cool bugs. Got to see does fighting as well. Found some arrowheads. Found some arrowheads. There's good times in the great outdoors so we're going to sign it off right here guys and stay tuned for more outdoor action. See y'all in the next one.
