 How you doing girls colonel morning morning rainwater everywhere Chicken check check it on the chickens Cleaning up on the Wreckley bruce mud Rain destroyed this place Sloppy sloppy Joe's in here Here you go Here you go once you scratch around over there clean that up for me. We have got ourselves one very worn out our true target Hopefully by the time this video is done We're gonna take this right here, and we're gonna send it through a little piglet Welcome back to the channel guys. I don't know about you. Hopefully you have got yourself an animal already the season harvested Maybe you're eating some burgers on the weekends from your from your harvest love to hear that So I'm still tweaking out over deer, and I'm really excited. I've got some some recent deer opportunities set up And I'm I'm just I'm just tweaking out I got a new compound bow that I'm working on still setting it up haven't cited it in yet But this right here This is this is a bow that I got early spring I've been practicing with The all summer into the fall so I recently got a quiver for this bow, and I got some new arrows. I got the eastern Legacy the carbon legacies Obviously they're they're painted like wood or they have wraps on them for like for to look like wood But they're microdiameter to five millimeter and they are shooting Darts with these 150 grain Broadheads, I'll show you guys here in a second see this little pig down here this little 50 pounder We're gonna take a couple shots at this guy So this is about max distance right here where I've got a stand set up I'm gonna show you guys here later today. Hopefully these pigs are gonna come in But this is about max distance With this Recurve I feel better shooting out to like 20 and then I do with a primitive bow if we can do this We can do this right here guys We're gonna be all right. Now. These are these are actually some some gut shots But I Think we can do a little tracking and and find that pig pig files more far forward. You want to hit more right right by that front shoulder, but Elevation is good So here's why I'm hunting today, and this is why I'm excited every once in a while I'll see some pigs. They've mostly been coming in at night, but for the last couple days They've been coming in right at dark right in the evening, and they're they're utilizing this wallow. There's one Good-sized bore that's coming to it, and then every once in a while the whole group will come in So I'm hoping that tonight this bore is gonna come in. Maybe he'll bring the herd Okay, all it is gear prep time. We're getting ready to head out into the woods spent the afternoon tuning my compound Got it dialed. We got a hunt with that next week. I'm so pumped about So now we're just getting gear ready for the hunt tonight So we're gonna be saddle hunting and I don't want to hike with the saddle on so I'm gonna throw it in my pack And this is the broad head that we're gonna be using right here This is a hundred and fifty grain Iron will single bevel It's a left bevel edge to match the left rotating Feathers that I have on here the Fletchings It should be good to go after pulling back my compound 70 pound compound all day this 55 pound I actually doesn't feel that bad. It feels like a 40 pound. So a little training a little training feeling good Feels strong. Let's hike out in the woods and get up on our tree. The amount of deer traffic on this trail Is absurd. That's all from last night Guys unfortunately, we're just gonna have to completely Flooded right now flowin Creek. That ain't no good for walking three months Son of a dick I almost stepped on that guy right there that damn water moxin I was literally stepping over him and I just saw his mouth open and I jumped back. Holy Holy shiitake mushrooms I about scared the tarp hits out of me guys Look at that thing dude. Well, thanks for the warning. I guess And I ain't trying to I'm trying to mess with you boy You better not be here when I get back walking in the dark, dude Onward Unfortunately That is not the only creek we have to cross Just saw some bobcat prints right there. That's one cool thing about fresh rain. You get to see all the fresh prints I know these uh, these toenails of mine are gonna be barking When I get back from this hot if a water moxin doesn't sting me on the way back in the dark It's too late now. We're too far into it. We're not turning around much rain totally Underestimated the amount of rain that we've had Oh, yeah, no, no, it's oh gosh It's it's actually flowing now I can't believe this. Oh my god What do we have going right now? How we doing bow? Holden up. All right. I'm sweating perfusely perfusely My feet are absolutely soaked doors. It's always something There's so many that are just So humbling things. You can't even explain sometimes flow is it's got water yards from a creek that is flowing right now It's possible second It's gonna be a sketchy. You're wondering about your belief in Sasquatch Other trees around here also have little muddy marks for against them and they share those scents So one bit go rug up rub up against the tree There's a squirrel over here And he just keeps and the things that I really like about being in the saddle is that you can Position your hips and get everything aligned with a peep On my compound and also A traditional bow It's really important the same way it makes you do that But when you don't have a peep And then you're you're sitting in a regular tree stand And then you're trying to change ankles and you get kind of out in front of your body You get out in front of your hips That's when things get a little shitty on your face So it's important For my face to be facing that way And my hips my belly button is facing towards the boat. It sounds like arable sound. It sounds like like a snorting our webs Hopefully that's the worst thing we encounter almost walked on that guy Night to go boys. I'm just gonna let you crawl and on with your business Keep slithering Well, that was an interesting walk in the woods my friends That was sketchy just getting out of the tree stand in the dark being wet walking through little creeks and puddles um At one point I was I was just trying to stay dry stay on the Um dry side of the the bank and I slipped on the angled Just fell in you know just waste waste deep wet And normally I put my I walk in the woods with my red light on you know, which I suggest Stealthy animals don't seem to mind it Uh and tonight I walked with my broad beam white light on until I got to my doorstep There was just so many snakey looking things. I was just seeing oak leaves that just looked like copperheads and I'm stopping It wasn't and then finally ended up running into one I just knew I was or another water moxon something so all we saw tonight was snakes Um squirrels and crows. We're going to take a pause from the pig hunting And we are going to wait for it to dry out a little bit. Hopefully get a daytime Trail cam pic and then reconvene But tonight it was just demon sausages I've been flinging trad arrows and we've just had rain rain rain the last couple days Pigs are coming out just after the dark, you know just after that sun goes down And we finally have a cold front. I hope they come in earlier tonight I hope they come in and you know that that's six o'clock or something But it's going to get darker a little earlier tonight because of the overcast And I'm going to go to my compound. We're going to Rambo. I've got lighted lighted pens on here So I'll be able to see Uh, you know way better than I will with the with the trad pot trad bow right after that sun goes down I'm going to go ahead and head out there a little early. I just first big cold front. It's like 38 degrees outside Stuff's going to be moving and since I still haven't gotten anything out of a saddle to this day I wouldn't mind getting it getting it with a compound either He was just sitting there licking himself And I saw a mama back there too. I'm still here right now I saw a mama one of those I'm definitely seeing on camera. He's he's got nubs nubs I'm going to say 30 minutes you can still see I got my lighted pen on so I can see my pen but being honest to be walking back with with pigs I was just hoping to get one like right now The last second these things are tricking me. Mm beautiful morning in the 30s I ended up taking a bow shot last night guys It was dark It's not the one you're thinking of though Not up in that tree I got down on a tree. I walked back in the cold Finally got up here started raining and was drizzling I was ready to To get warm and go to bed So Stephanie had a delicious meal She left out for me. She knew I was coming back. So I ate me a nice warm meal and then I was getting ready for bed and Just kind of relaxing with Steph and I was actually falling asleep and She she wakes me up. She goes hey chickens anytime my wife says hey chickens when it's like 9 30 10 o'clock at night. I know that means An eight morning and they're crowing so I run downstairs in my underoos. I'm half asleep. I come out here I turn on the back porch light and I just see two Two eyes kind of bobbing back behind the little post Over there. So I went and grabbed my flashlight Luckily, I had all my my hunting stuff just there had my flashlight So I grabbed the flashlight and started looking and I see oh, it's a big bobcat I'm like, okay. Surely this bobcat is going to run off Does not just stands there. It's it's like size of me up. It's looking at me. I'm like, no, no, sir No, no, no, no When in there I grabbed the box like surely by the time I come out here Knock an arrow. This bobcat is going to be gone. I keep in mind I already had my night sight set up everything my my red light So everything was good to go This thing is bold bold enough where I'm I'm probably going to take a shot here because It's going to try to kill my chickens So as I start moving to get a shot around the fence over here It runs off into the woods and I figured it would probably stop and it did it ran like 15 20 yards and it stopped and I was already drawn back and I kind of took a guesstimate And I shot and I just hit his little whiskers. I mean it was just But then he took off into the woods And I thought that was it Colonel's a little upset because he walked outside this morning just like I did and he saw A dead bird on the ground. I'm gonna stay focused on it for too long, but We lost a bird And that uh That bird was not outside of the fence this morning So here's what what actually happened The birds I called that bird Einstein because it kind of had like a puffy Uh, it was it was a polish. So it had a puff on top of its head. His hair looked like Einstein But I could never get this bird to roost inside of the coop. I mean it was just crazy It would always roost on top and roost on something else it never wants to go inside of the coop And roost with the other chickens. So I said, okay, you know, I gotta set up a roost over here on the outside, which works great Most of the time Now when I came out the first time one of my new chickens I call peaches She was on the ground and she had feathers missing and she got bopped by that bobcat The bobcat stuck its hand in here and bopped that chicken But I saved her I got I got her I put her she was kind enough gentle enough where I put her back into the uh The big coop And she was fine. All right, I'm still trying to train Some of the new chickens to sleep inside of there where they know it's safe the Einstein She had she has no brain anymore She's uh, she she wanted to sleep right here as close to the fence as possible And the bobcat just it climbed up here and it uh, it reached its paws in there grabbed it And it wasn't able to take the whole body It just it just took her brain the bobcat was deterred when I came out here flung an arrow And I went back in there, you know, I told Stephanie what happened. She was like that bobcat's going to come back I was like, yeah, you're you're probably right. You're probably right And if it's going to get a chicken and it's going to be Einstein because she's roosting right next to the thing And I can't grab her. She's got a really short beak and she she just comes at me. She comes at me She freaks out. She's not very gentle. She's she just she's a freak out bobcat came back Sometime in the middle of the night guys in this video. We've just had We've we've attempted to do a saddle on here to get a pig, but we've just had so many so many critters so many creatures Um, some dangers. I was it's been like a Steve Irwin experience in this video So hopefully you guys can appreciate it Don't get a don't get an animal every time with a bow, but I'm here just filming it all Filming my interactions with the wildlife Now all of you following me on the tradbow experience rooting me on Thank you and don't worry. I'm not giving up in fact and taking it next week on a deer hunt subscribe to stay tuned for more of that And I'm wishing you good luck in your arrow flinging Jigsling and hook setting experiences in the great outdoors I'll see you back in it on the next one
