 Whoo back on the grind y'all Larkin, what do you think about this trip so far? It's good. That was a steep climb. I'm out of breath Well, we got our we got a war pain on now. Yeah, and This is gonna be the first evening We're we're bugling so Besides the first night when it was like basically dark. We're just gonna be camping farther and farther away From where we originally went in. I just want to let y'all know The way the board and rays guys hunt and honestly the way I want to hunt We're shooting anything that's legal First legal thing that comes out. I got my buddy JT behind me. I've got Casey from hushin up in front and we're kind of just Making a little triangle around where Trent is calling whenever the Bull comes in Hopefully he gets in one of our lanes. So we're increasing our odds So it's not about, you know, just Trophy bull hunting up here. It's it's about getting meat And it's I mean, hopefully Everyone can get something down, but I'll shoot the first cow. I see it doesn't even matter. Here we go Repuddle I was supposed to go better. I've been to the top of that There's some lakes just over that rim right there a big lake doesn't have any fish. I tried We're here at the end of day one y'all So here with Casey Trent both very experienced hunters They were just saying that at times When it's good, you can hear up to 200 bugles a day And even like if one Cow goes in the heat it just gets absolutely nuts. I'm yet to experience hearing bugles frequently Most I've ever heard is like a couple in a day Yeah, today was the most today was the most And that was from three different bulls like when they go crazy like I said when there's a cow in heat The whole canyon erupts and they just get slobbered We're gonna experience that on this trip at some point, but good first day I'm still learning a ton asking Casey. I'm asking Trent a bunch of questions So they're a great resource to learn and that's that's really what I want to do is learn how to do this on my own But I got to say it's a lot more fun to do it with friends and especially guys that know what they're doing That's the end of day one guys All the channels are linked down below go subscribe Go learn go and do some of this stuff yourself and ask a bunch of questions That's what I'm doing to try to learn. So we'll see you on day two So our legs are sore shoulders sore when about eight miles yesterday, and we set up camp on this ridge And we heard elk all night long After like three o'clock in the morning, I woke up and I just kept hearing them and I just couldn't go back to sleep So I'm so excited to get out of here. We haven't heard anything in the last hour or so But we had a lot of moonlight. So I think they're really moving and there's definitely three bowls. They're down. It's probably 150 to 500 yards from us right now. That is more bugles than I've heard my entire elk hunting experience I heard more last night than I did in weeks of elk hunting. So I'm excited. It sounded like we were surrounded. Yeah, we had them on almost every side of us. So Hopefully it pans out. Hopefully it's kill day lunch break just got some really good fresh water right in here and The last bull that we had doodling Had some cows or something. He just took off up the mountain way up there So you wouldn't really call him back. You don't want to chase him And we're just kind of enjoying the moment right here. You got to do this Unbelievable being up here in the woods Feel free See a trout. Right past the log The log land in the middle of the river. The one that's going across. Yep. Just passed about halfway up the log Just go past it about a foot. You see that orange? Yeah, I see his belly. He's moving. Dang. Oh, yeah That's a good one there. Trent has discovered The land of the giant brook trout. We've got an isolated mountain lake here Bunch of grass I'm gonna attempt to catch one of these giants. It's sitting sitting out here in this little trough So they've been trying the little rooster tail deal. It's not working. I think it's gonna be a fly game So I've got me a little hopper We've seen a couple of them come up to the surface. So hopefully they'll they'll munch this thing There's some serious It's a delicate walk out there, huh? Well folks, we're coming to the end of the day today It's just kind of been a like hanging out waiting for these elk to make some noise but we found this mountain lake here that looks just awesome and I just caught a brook trout had to get down in the undies when the Sun was out But now that it's kind of going down old Larkin he just pulled in a little brook trout and I think we're actually gonna camp here and Maybe do a little cooking maybe we'll do a little trout cooking. I don't know what to say about the hunting It's it's honestly at this point been like I experienced last year a lot of Just walking around we've busted a couple out, but not a lot of bugling. It's been really silent What we heard last night Was incredible when we weren't on it when we were just sitting in the tent I was just bugles everywhere. So you think you'd wake up and just be like hearing bugles, but Wasn't so we're just kind of taking easy. We're not trying to beat ourselves up too much Had some pus starting to come out here But don't worry mom put some neosporin on it and trying to make the most of it We've got many more days in these boots So just got to try to take care of the feet had some tape on here But when I waited out things got a little gross And hopefully we don't get gangrene on the strip. That would be a win, you know Be a bummer you start ripping a few more out so we can get some dinden going bud That's that's dinner the bounty. Huh Trent tell us about the brook trout. It's my first time We're gonna eat eat one of these rockin giants out here. Yeah, no got one two Well, you got to support got to JT got one as well We haven't said any any records in size yet, but it's coming I think the later it gets here in the evening dude. I had a couple of them roll on it that looked I saw the boils from over here pretty good. So plan is then we'll just camp here and try to catch a couple hogs Eat well tonight get our Get our proteins back in us little fish oil tomorrow kill two bowls, maybe I like that plan These fish are almost too pretty to cut open I know some of you probably cringing right now, but when you're really hungry out in the woods And you haven't had a real meal and you haven't had a real meal in a minute a tasty trout just starts Sounding really really good. Oh blue, buddy. Oh blue panther Martin. Yeah, you're done They're turning on it maybe I need to get back out there hold trench if you but that's the problem Is we can only fish right there with the fly rod that nymph like sinks down Dude one just busted out here Gosh if a moose walked out right now it'd be the most majestic moment shoot yourself. Oh Amazing Y'all if you're not getting out in the woods, I highly suggest it. It's a little rough on the body, but it makes you feel alive Temporary temporary pain Memories for a lifetime Good colors good girth, that's a healthy fish It's been out here a while cold grower Dinner I think dinner I think dinner. I think so guys. Guess what everyone on this trip caught a fish Oh wait except for Logan. Hey, hi dad. I caught four today. Oh, yeah Slime them you did slam them. Oh dings. Hi country fisherman Slapped okay. I feel like you got a little colder last night than I did the night before it's chilly Feel pretty good. You look well rested. Thank you That was my best night's sleep Oh That's gonna be delicious. I'll check this out. Oh boy. John Thomas or a larkin just got a grouse This is gonna be part of dinner Tonight good job JT First grouse dude. I've never had grouse We're gonna clean this get it ready for tonight now take its legs. Okay slowly just kind of just work Wow So that's the shot like from here there's some bigger section right above their breast and you did perfect didn't hit There's a physical aspect of elk hunting that is just Kind of like it But I kind of hate it at this moment We're gonna climb up about a thousand feet Think the elk are gonna be up there I've been at the bottom lands, you know, we're gonna do it some fishing just kind Messing around and just enjoying ourselves We got a grouse Now it's time for the big meeting so Take a little breaks Little micro breaks This looks fantastic Much stuff to eat It must have been that brought it open What train is this Tear it cavity of an elk That's three Eating like kings tonight It's like a Brahma chicken Now they look so tasty that beautiful clean meat Colonel Sanders, what do you go on this low on it quite the situation? Okay guys, don't try this at home Justin shot at his first grouse he lost his insert And we want to use this arrow to shoot at more grouse and I broke my grouse arrow So we're gonna take this rage trap in we're gonna somehow put it in this arrow and Electrical tape it to where we shoot grouse with it without an insert hundred percent no question. It's gonna work I don't think it's advisable. I'm gonna I was gonna tie this around there to do basically the same thing that you're doing I Just came up with a better idea. Yeah That's it. Now we just need to electrical tape it on I'm telling you guys This is basically a 23 caliber bullet right now. Give me exact grand within like five That's actually it's actually pretty true. I'm just gonna tell you one out of ten Ten being it's gonna work. It's 12. That's borderline. You just made your own spear And that's how you make a viral YouTube video Where's our title now? Made my own wood spear You have to kill your house with this I know guys if we see another one you're up first buddy. Yeah Watch him. Oh, no No, you hit him I got away The duct tape broad head it's look good I thought it looked good So I'm fly a hundred yards, huh? Well y'all the old electrical tape spear Center into the grouse, but I think I hit mostly breast haven't been able to recover it but Good news is we have three more And they seem to be liking this hot weather the elk don't like it, but the grouse do so We might get one one more maybe two more But we still got to save some broadheads for the big meets But we gonna be eating good tonight Okey-dokey folks after a long day of hunting no elk But we do have the grouse and we're about to do a little cooking So I think the plan is we're gonna take our individual pots And we're gonna cut like each person's gonna get a breast and get a leg and we're gonna cut those up and put them in To our cook kits and each cook them individually and maybe put some like ramen Some ramen spices or seasoning in there just get the flavor and then maybe add it to a mountain house Or eat it by itself. I don't know. It's gonna be my first time having grouse though. So I'm pretty stoked Okay guys start a little little pow wow for the evening Yo coming in to get a little grouse action Good job today buddy It's good shooting. I got the McCormick stew Real good night. We got some more troops added to the herd tonight. So we got a bunch more guys in camp So I don't know if we're gonna have enough for every single person, but I'll be back Teen grouse busters Hey Trent you got any tips for for grouse? Tips for grouse. I'm just trimming some stuff off just like some big white stuff And then there's a little bit of bloodshot on this so trimming that out right now So what I'm gonna do is go Into small bits because right now we can't have a fire because of fire season So we're kind of fouled there So what I've done in the past is just cut them into just small little chunks like this And then whatever you're making whether it be a mountain house whether it be a top ramen Whatever it may be you just throw that protein in when it's boiling and it just boils with it And it just enhances the meal 125% I like 125. It's spot on spot on so we got The little pots right here and put some water and some seasoning in there Okay, folks, we've got some McCormick's Simmering on our grouse nuggets So we're each just gonna pass the old grouse nuggets around put them in our little pots And cook them to perfection McCormick's looking pretty strong I'm gonna go ahead and take a couple off the top here I'm gonna do one more when we do seven I think that's No, that's gross Looks like a desert for a second No, that shouldn't be any desert Thank you the shot two of them I'm just going to use that boiling water after it's cooked and we're going to add some extra flavor It's good Okay boiling up nicely some of them are turning white It's fogging up So we'll take that flavorful chicken water And put it in our beef stroganoff as well. I think I think uh jake wanted some That's a strong stash, dude. It's it's getting a little out of hand. Let's look out the grouse today. It's a thick one We're gonna pull one out cut it open Okay, first time eating grouse. Oh, yeah I just got super excited because it looked perfect. Yeah, this is gonna be my first grouse taste right here It's a big moment. This is a big moment Yeah, the McCormick's actually stayed on it Done all the way through done all the way through and you went six minutes six minutes. Okay Okay first grouse juicy a little chewy But dang good Dang good. Okay. Now I'm gonna take these put it in my mountain house A bunch of extra protein tonight. We're good to go John Thomas Earl Larkin goes with the ramen method. I thought that was a good touch, dude That looks amazing grouse nuggets in the ramen It's perfect. You didn't care about how hot it is. Too hot to eat. Too hot to eat. Okay. Don't burn your tonic for candy Well, we just finished our first grouse ever. It was delicious Finished it off with a little mountain house. So we got refueled. We went, um nine miles today So that was the most that we've hiked Really cool to see the grouse and I think I left some specialty broadheads for shooting birds in my truck So if we go back to our trucks, which we're eventually gonna have to because we're running out of food I will definitely pick those up because that is fun. But anyways, hope you guys enjoyed watching today Stay tuned the next thing we got to do up here guys We got to get an elk. We got to get an elk in the site. So that is the next mission. We fished We've hunted grouse. We're living off the land, which is amazing But we've put in the hard work. Now it's time to see an elk So hopefully we hear some bugles in the morning. Keep your fingers crossed And I will see you guys Lord God, we thank you for this beautiful day and this opportunity for friendship and fellowship. May I ask for your Protection and the wilderness we ask to you to just protect us and Give us a little bit of love today We ask all these things in your name. Thank you for your blessings. Amen
