 Oh, yeah, that's a bit. That's another butter ball. That's another butter ball. He's got another one with it. Got another one with it. Kendrick, Kendrick, get in there. Oh my gosh. Kendrick, what are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing? Welcome back to the channel, everybody. Little update for you guys. Rob, who was sitting in the tree, many, many hundreds of yards away. He came in a little later and he got a nice buck. And it's time to do some cleanup. With the YouTube situation right now, I'm not going to show you guys the full extent. We're just going to breeze through that, and then we still get a lot of time left of the day. Matt's going to clean his first deer right now, and then we're going to move on and just enjoy the great outdoors here. There's still some people hanging out here this evening, but we've got lots of good meat. Toby is the only deer that's actually touching the ground. Just that huge body deer is probably about 200 pounds unfilled dressed. And there's mine right here. There's Matt's. There's me and Matt's together right there, about the same size deer, but just really nice. We were done with gutting and cleaning the deer and all that, so if you guys watched my recent videos where I went hunting, I got a doe. I ate it almost immediately, and some of the best parts of the meat, they were not very tender. They were actually kind of chewy. The meat was good, like good flavor, but it was just kind of chewy. I want to try a process of aging that meat. What I'm going to do is I'm going to come back in about five or six days, and I'm going to take that meat to the processor after that. I'll probably take home the back straps and the loins like I did last time. And just compare. I want to do that comparison video and really see what the difference is. Amazing morning of hunting, and it was so awesome when Rob came in. Everybody got a buck. It was just so cool. So we ended up with five really nice bucks. And I wanted to show you all my rifle because this is a special story, too. There was so much going on in the last video, so much action that I didn't really get into it, but this is actually my grandfather's rifle. When he died, this was given to me. This is a Remington 30-06. It's a Woodmaster Model 742. It's not super old. I want to say it's from the 70s. This is a big bullet right here. Y'all, this thing kicks like a dagum mule. These are 180 grain bullets right here. When I was able to take this gun out and shoot it for the first time when I was hunting, it was really neat. It was neat for my dad because it was passed down from his dad. I haven't gone and gotten a nice bolt action rifle yet. That's like one gun that I haven't done and I definitely want to do that soon. But I thought it would be neat before I do that to take this rifle out at least one time and go hunting with it. This will probably be passed down to Emmy or another one of our children if we have more children, which we probably will. The only problem is this thing is not very accurate. We were actually shooting it last night, sat on the bench, 100 yards, no problem. You get to 150, no problem. 200 yards, we couldn't even hit the target. This is not just me shooting the gun. This is multiple people that our ex-military have a lot of experience. It gets a little squarely past that, but today didn't have a problem. The crazy thing about this place is the deer hunting is so amazing and the duck hunting here, which I'm not a big duck hunter, but they say the duck hunting is unreal as well. But I know from personal experience, the fishing, which I did the day before when the season opened out here, it's insane too. The fishing on this place is awesome and I have my boat here, so we may put that in the water and see what we can come up with. It's a little frosty. My boots shrank in the middle of the night. They look the cold. They got wet and cold. I think Leather does that. He brought out the slough! Today we're joined by Rob from the Lunkers TV channel here to give it a little Panfish Dangle. And we've also got manager Matt out here. Coming fresh off his first white-tailed deer experience documented right here on the channel. It's pretty awesome. This place is paradise, y'all. I can't explain to you the majestic nature of what's going on here. Croppy Lake, Bass Lakes, duck hunting sloughs, squirrel runs, coyote ridges, hog bogs, white-tailed whisker biscuits. It's all here. We're looking at a clear picture of the surface of the moon, craters everywhere. It's actually bluegill, y'all. Bluegill in the springtime. They make these beds. A lot of bluegill in here. There's a couple of fish right there. Dangle opportunities right there. You can see their shadows right there in the middle. What? You got the same boat. You're about to see that. Watching you do things is just amazing. I thank you for that. Look at that little croppy jig in there. I see you. Oh, heard one in there. Almost past the boot. Oh, there's a dead snake. I'll just you know, right there at the ramp. Okay, it's good. We got two bites. They didn't eat it. They didn't even eat it. See schools of them out there. Can't get them to bite. I don't know, man. Just do that little We got our counterpart, John B. We got a half a squad right now. We switched from the croppy like y'all. We had two bites, no fish. The landowner actually asked us to come over to this lake and take a lot of the small fish out because it hasn't been managed in years. There's some really nice fish in here, you have to take a lot of them out in order to get those bigger fish to grow up into those like seven, eight, nine double digits that you really want because the food, they're all fighting over the same food. So there's literally thousands of 10, 12, 14 inches in here and he told us to basically take out anything around 12, anything under 14, just stick it in the box. I actually like to eat bass. I don't know about y'all. They're pretty good, especially spotted bass. I know some people are a little touchy on it, but Lager's TV hooked up right now? No, I've got grass. Okay, you've got grass. I've got a lot of grass. Anyway, we're going to cut some then we're clear to go home. This is a straight up meat haul trip y'all. We've got Vinicin for days! Filets, Vinicin to filets. That should be the title of this video. Just keep it open. Just keep it open. Yeah, he's skinny. He's a skinny meat haul one. We're trying not to step on Kendrick when we're doing this. Oh, I got it. We're doubled. We're doubled on meat haulers. Oh yeah, this is a definite meat hauler here. Oh wow. See how skinny these fish are, guys? They're small and they're skinny, which means they're all fighting over this food source and they're never going to bump up to the size class. You end up with fish like this that have big heads and skinny bodies. Can I get them plush, please? Alright, nice job, Rob. Thank you. I'm throwing a mini recon. Rob's down the clutch, I think. Manager Matt. Learning how to tie knots over there. We all are doubled. Oh, cooler! Oh yeah. Mine hasn't showed itself yet. Got another skinny one here. Oh, is he going to hit the meat box? Oh. Oh, come on back and get you some. What are you throwing? A little mini recon there he is. Come on back and got it. May not be a keeper though. This might be a decent one. Yeah. He's staying in here. Skinny, but he's already reached past the growth mark. That's a good fish. Look at those red lips that are cold here. He's been caught before. We are hooked up and he is far away. We are on him here. Clearly not a crappie. That's a good dark bass. That's a good dark bass. I know baby, it's cold. This one's not hitting the box. Oh my. Just got absolutely slobber knocked by a boxer. I could feel the smallness as soon as he did it. Oh yeah. Maybe. I think this one might throw back. Kendra's got one for the box. Is this the box one? Yeah. Okay, yeah throw it. Okay, we caught three that aren't going to make it. Yeah, these are all over 14 that we just got into. Oh man. Just getting waxed on right here. Waxed on. That's another non-boxer. I believe. Man. Dude, Toby. This is good. We're coming out here to a meat hall and we're catching the fish. Yep. These are all over the size class here. So. What we're all three doing right now is throwing crawfish imitating baits. Little blackback, red, yellow belly and gold. A little bit of gold sparkle on the sides. And digging that into the grass. Let it hit the grass and float up and when it floats up they grab it. This is a similar technique as the lipless. This one. Oh, I just lost one there. Oh, I got another one chasing it. He ate it right by the bone. There you go. That was cool. Paused it. Oh yeah, these are two throwbackers. Dude, I saw that fish come back, I paused it and he came back again and got it. Rob got a big fish and got a nice fish. They like that red, dude. As soon as we switched over. It's not about the size. That's one that's going to be an 8-pound. Come on, dude. Throw him back, too. Well, we came out here to catch the little ones. I think we got me excited. We got to watch him come up and eat it. He was next to your fish. I think he got a little competitive. He was like, I got to get that thing. Boom! We got ourselves a non-boxer here, boys. That's about a fiver. Look at that. Butterball. This is not what we came here to do, but it sure is fun. That is a big old buttered biscuit right there, y'all. My gosh. Look at that. Look at that little recon in his mouth. Oh, mom! That's a That's a That is a Butterball Turkey. Gosh. I just want y'all to look at the the girthiness of that fish. It's just absurd to eat that little red mini recon. We're not going to take this one home for a turkey dinner. I promise. This is a really nice healthy fish that has the potential to be a double digit someday. So this is the one of the ones that when we clear these little lower-sized class fish out and this one has more food, it's going to be a juicy here in a year or two. So we'll let this one go over five pounds, I think, but just girthy in the middle. Oh, what? Did he eat it off the top, Rob? Look at that big one. It's cold water. That's a good Not a boxer. There she goes. Not a boxer. And you got a big one too? 100% big. That's another butter ball. He's got another one with it. Kendrick, get in there. Oh my gosh. This is terrible. Oh, come on. I know. Look at that. Holy moly. Holy. This could be. This was a hard hit. It's not a big one. It's a really strong attack though. By the red-lipped greenback himself. I'm going to share a tip with y'all right now. When you see the red sticky lips like that, that is some straight up Maybelline, you go get you a red something. A red crankbait. A red lipless crankbait. Or a red lipped, it doesn't matter, make it red. And you start and stop that thing for those red lips to wrap around that red crankbait. That's all you got to do. Just another unreal experience. Catching big bass out here. We tried to go for crappie, it didn't work out. Big bucks, big bass. This has been one of the best outdoor weekends I've ever experienced. Just overall, across the board. Just very special. I'm going to write this down on the calendar and see what it's going to happen like it did for a long, long time. Can try, but everything was just perfect. We got some bass in here. I think we ended up with eight. They're around 12 inches. Some are like 10 to 12 inches basically. I'm going to fillet those up right now and put them in freeze lock bags. And then we'll make some golden crispies out of them later. I mean, we even got more meat. It's been an absolute meat haul. Incredible. Backwater, are you coming off a hot angle right now? Oh yeah. Did you get them? No, I'm about to go out. Oh, you're about to go out for a little evening. Gotcha. Mind if I squeeze my new silver bullet next to you here? Oh, the new one. And there's my little helper. Hey, sweet pea. Hey. She's helping me collect all these acorns. Well, I have come back from the hardest and it has been a good one. Good because I'm hungry. Well, I brought you some delicious bass. Oh. I'm just kidding. You don't have to eat them right now. It is time to unload and just spend some quality time with the family after a great harvest. I mean, that's part of it. You go out there, you get all this great meat, these great experiences, and then you spend it with your friends and family. So that is what we are going to do. And just go ahead and smash the like button for outdoor greatness. Just great times. And if you want to see more from me and the family here at the Treehouse, I'll link the Lake life family channel down below so you don't miss anything over there. And y'all, I'm signing off for one of the greatest outdoor weekends ever. And I hope you're having a great one as well. God bless you. I'll see you on the next one.
