Ep. 8: Answering Your Questions

bit different on this one. I feel like it's a good point to maybe answer a few questions that we've got from past episodes and kind of just just reply, do some a little free form, and maybe you'll glean some more tips off of stuff that I've already talked about or new stuff. So Been here has prepared a few questions Q and a's for me just out of things that he's seen. Maybe cut some down to some questions that I will be answering. I am. I don't

know the questions yet, so there maybe some surprises. I don't know. Maybe it's either secret question question I haven't given you. I've been I've been manning Remy at the Mediator dot com for this entire time and sitting in in the studio while Remy narrates his stories and give the tips. Like I'm not what if I'm the man behind the scenes. I'm definitely a man that is also

behind the scenes behind it. I'm way behind. So I've been reading a lot of your your stuff at Remy at the metator dot com and I've been following along with social and enjoying this podcast. I mean, we certainly want to make sure we give you the best product you possibly can get, and so we're gonna get these are all pretty pretty useful and pretty serious questions, and so you're ready, Remy warm. Well, first, I want to thank everybody. Sure I like to throw up gratitudes and platitudes,

but no, actually a lot of it. I love Uh people have been like sharing and tagging me in it as well. That's awesome. Like I think that discontinues because of the people listening and their excitement about it as well as just sharing it with their friends. So thank you guys for doing that. I really appreciate it, and thank you for interacting and the questions and stuff, because it gives me better direction going into the future of

like what what I should be talking about some stuff? Man, I'm like, yeah, I didn't know I should be talking about that. So it's good, Like there's a lot of things that like, Man, I don't some of the I think that that's kind of boring, But really it's stuff that I just maybe take for granted, like the things that I know that I just kind of take for granted. So that's where a lot of the comments and stuff

come in. I'm super handy and every buddy you know, sharing your experiences, sending pictures in all the things that you've guys done, it's some great successes. Yeah, and and those are the best triumphs. The funny part is that some of these emails are long. You guys are you guys aren't skipping on the details, and we appreciate that because it's we're hunters. Man. We like to Remy, I know,

likes to listen to and read stories. I do too, so for sure, And so the idea of this podcast is just to draw out all the stuff Remy's going through in his life. And and he spends you know, three hundred days a year afield sometimes some years, and um, there's no better person to kind of translate all this. So I've been very happy with all of your emails and all your questions. Man, it's been fun to ride along with Remy and and see the reaction. Man, It's just it's a it's a hell of the thanks. You

want to get started? There the dutious. Uh, there we go. So episode number three, you talked about hot weather meatcare, and that's a hot topic. You know. I'm a four or yetti man myself as far as an employment goes, and a current YETI man as far as my cooler use goes. And this question came from Jason in Arizona.

He lives in a hot state pretty close to your home state of Nevada, and he is asking, he wrote in you know, a long email, but essentially boiling down to asking, when you're transporting meat, do you if you're putting it in a cooler, would you allow it to

be saturated in water? And is there any point during your the meat process from field to butcher to whatever, that you would would feel as appropriate to leave, say at elk quarter or a meal to your quarter, or any any good cut of meat soaking in water for any amount of time at all. He specifically asked about leaving, you know, coming back, throwing a quarter and your cooler and driving home and having all the ice melt and now you've got, you know, a pretty fresh chunk of

meat for sure that's submerged. Yeah. So here's the here's the thing about that, Like I was saying before, is you know you want your you want to keep me cool and dry, now Elk core elk or a special breed, because a lot of times they're just the size makes it cumbersome. Now, I think if it's you want to avoid it being in water. However, that's not always possibly. You know, like you got to relive in the real world.

If you can keep it out of the water, great, But I just knowing from experience traveling home or whatever, a lot of times that quarter does get soaked. Is it going to go off between you driving home and sitting in the cooler water. No, it's not. But one thing that I do when I get home is the first thing I do I And I've done this like with ladders in the garage, like I create some form

to hang it somewhere when I get home. I've done this in the garage with like a closet dowl between two ladders because I just didn't have a good set up for it. And then what I do is I take a fan because the best way to cool it down and keep it dry. It's to is to dry it out. Now, if you live in Arizona, it's even hot pretty much all the time, so the garage is

shaded somewhere it's cool. If you don't have a c in your garage, run a fan on it, get that air circulation, and you'll develop that crust again and then it's time to put back in the fridge or whatever. Now. I recently had a buddy have the same problem. He's like, Man, I got back everything was water logged. I don't I gotta go back to work on Monday. What do I do with this freaking elk until I can? I'm butcher in it all week, but I don't. It's not going

to be one day. I've got other things I gotta do, Like I gotta do pieces of time. How do I store it? What do I do? So? I think there's a couple of things you can do. First, refrigerator is a great place to store it as much as you can. And when you store it in the fridge, if you just put it all in one tub like, that's not getting that's not keeping it dry either. The blood and everything soaks to the bottom so you need to figure out a way to separate everything out or continually move

it in the fridge until you get those pieces. And you would flow a lot of times if you're if you if your fridge has like a glass shell for something that want a lot of air circulations, just you can flip that quarter over every want in a while to make sure that there's always air circulation. Get that air circule. You gotta have it. But you know, I mean, like how long can you leave something in the fridge, Well,

it depends on the state. Like if it's in the fridge with air circulating around it completely, you can leave it in for a month almost, um, twenty days. I don't really like aged meat personally like dry age that much. But I've left stuff in my chiller for you know, a week or two and it's great. It's fine. You've probably done man age all the time I've aged, I've aged up to in the of days and it's it's you just it's a science that you have to really take time on. So we were talking about when we

were recording that podcast. I remember talking about we're sitting in trying to just determine how you're going to go through the thirty minutes of the show, and we're just talking about a lot of times a guy like you said, is going to shoot an elk on a Saturday or a Sunday, spend all this time getting at home, and

then Monday comes, it's time to go to work. Yep, and you don't have you know, say you don't have an area that you can hang it, say it's too hot to hang it outside and your fridges and big enough for a hundred plus pounds of meat to be stuffed in it. Here's another option, you can you get the water out of the cooler. And then I've I learned this trick from some friends in in New Zealand.

Is you get a big animal well cut off. You know, you don't have a lot of time to butcher it the way you want, so you you for that downtime in between the butchering, cut off large chunks in in big muscle groups and get large vacuum sealed eggs and vacuum seal those pre butcher because then when when there's no air going to them, they won't go bad in the fridge. And so you don't have to worry about the air circulation. So you can pack it into the fridge that way and then take those packets out and

butcher it. You could also repack the cooler full of ice, put those vacuum sealed things in the cooler on top of the ice to keep them cold. But by stopping the air, you're gonna stop them from going off, like from spoiling. So just by vacuum seeling them, you can leave them. I've I've got friends that it. When they shoot something, they just vacuum seal and leave it in their fridge for two or three weeks because they won't

spoil if they can't get air. Now, it has to be a tight vacuum seal, so you really got to make sure you know nothing's around the edges of that bag. And you get those bigger bags and you can put those big chunks, and it's just an easier way to organize it until you have time to butcher it. Then as you come home, you might have one quarter that is free hand free drying in the fridge and then the other stuff stacked in the cooler. You can kind of work your space and then as you butcher, you're

getting more space and you can rotate things through. That's the way that I do it. I'm sure you would agree that, Like you have to have that process though, but I wouldn't just leave it in my garage soaking in cooler water for five days. That's not cool when you're when you're out hunting on a weekend, even if you're even if that's kind of your game, if you're just a weekend guy. I just feel like, I'm sure you agree that you gotta have a process. I killable

no matter what it is. This is how I'm going to make sure that the meat doesn't get ruined from from field to truck to cooler, the freezer to butcher paper. I mean, you have to have this thought out, and you can't run into a situation where all I gotta go to work and I I have no idea what to do with this meat. I got it all the way here not you know, in those in those instances, maybe

it's I like to do my own butchering. But dude, maybe you just gotta you gotta bite the bullet, drop it off somewhere they can handle it and have that placed down before you do it. That's just it sucks and you're like, I don't wan to butcher it. Myself. But if that's your situation, you can't. You don't have the ability to take care of it. There are places that have so that you've got to keep that as a backup plan too. That's an option, but really there's

there's workarounds. However, back to the original question, soaking in water, don't do that. Don't leave it soaking in water. The next one Adam see he's from Virginia. He was talking about, you know, in your first episode you were talking about shooting an angle's horizontal distance versus linear distance. He is just telling a story of trying to understand site picture

and and shooting an angles. And the question that he leveled in here that I thought was good was just basically at the at the end, he says, my bubble level, I feel like my bubble level is a distraction. I'm trying to get my pain in the right spot, make sure I've got good footing and do everything right. Why the hell does my bubble level matter? And what does it mean when shooting at angles? Okay, that's a good question.

That's that's a there's a lot of technical answer involved in that simple question, but I will give an abbreviated version of it. So first answer why the level. The level is really important because if you think about it, you got let's say, we'll just go with a multipensite night even a slider site, just multipinsite. You've got your first pin at twenty and your last pin at fifty. Let's say, okay, so you draw back and your bow

is not level to the ground. Well, what the level is is it's making sure that all the pins are in line with the horizontal plane of the ground. So therefore your left and right of the of your point of aim is the same. So if your bubble is cocked way to the left, say that means that the top limb would be angling far right. Now, think about your bottom pin, your fifty yard pin. Not that you're even shooting fifty yards, but where is that putting that

fifty yard pin. Well, that's putting that the pins further down, further left than where it should be. Now, if you're shooting just really close, it makes a smaller difference. But as you even move out five ten yards, you're really pushing your point of aim in in a direction left or right. If your bow isn't level. Now, when you talk about you know shooting an angles and using your level it's even more important. But one thing you have

to factor is what we call the third axis. So that's as you move your bow down, is your level still level? And then you can the second access you would do to level your bow. Make sure you can put your bow in a vice or use it up against the door jam, something that's plumb, like a plumb line, running say a weighted string down so you know that something's level. Then you draw back at full draw. Do this outside summer safe, don't dry fire it. You can do it with an arrow, but make sure obviously use

common sense. Be safe. Now are all your pins lined up on that plumb line when you're flat, and then your bubble should be level. Then you know that your bubble is level four level ground. If it's not there, almost every bone now has a way to adjust that, so you're just the level itself that way. Then that that would be I guess the second access. Then the third axis would be canting it out. So as you go down at a fort up or down, does that

level stay level? Is it true? And so I I like to use a plumb line to figure that out. I also and a full draw you want to do it at full draw because it changes your grip and everything changes, so that does make a difference. I found this vice to ice. I think it's like it's like a vice that PSC makes. I don't even know the name of it, but you can find it that you can clamp it on you level. It's got levels on it. Then you level yours and then you can drop that

vice to forty five degrees. That's a good place to start. The other access. You would actually you push the housing away or towards you to adjust well. And if you're if you really want a quick way to learn this too, you and your next time you're at your pro shop and they're setting your bow up, just ask them because they're if they're doing it right there checking your third access, ask them how do you do that? And just watch them do it. They'll they likely will have a tool

if they don't see how they freehand it. And then there's um, there's another good device for full draw third access is Hamski makes it. That's a good one. But long story short, Heck yeah, that bubble makes a big difference. Yeah yeah, And and and that's you gotta like when you're checking your side picture. That's just gotta be again

part of your process. Check this, check this, check this, and arrow at the air of line, you can't skip that bubble level or like you said, at distances it's tough well and if you just think, oh it feels level on angle, it always feels level. What's not level, So it makes a big difference. This is one that you and I were both thinking when we were recording episode number two, which is the bear attack on the

fog neck being safer in bear country. We were both thinking of this and when we were talking about um putting the episode together, whether it should be multiple bear attacks or multiple bear encounters that you've had that kind of informed the tips, But we turned it just we felt it was smoother just to have just the falkneck attack. But you have a lot of other bear encounters, you know, that are informative, And this question came in a bunch um it came I probably I probably read twenty of them,

I bet. In regards to black bear country as we'll call it, which is most of the United States, but in in country where you're hunting or you're around black bears, do you the same precautions as you do in grizz a brown bearer country, and you know, how do you how do you how did your mind think about that that scenario. Yeah, So I generally don't take the same precautions, but I take precautions because statistically, I think there's more black bear attacks than there are brown bear attacks, and

it's just based on you encounter him more there. They are more places, and they're close, they do things closer people. One day, my brother was on a fall bear hunt, packed into the mission mountains, hunted bears hard for seven days, got back unpacking his stuff. He texted me that he was home. So I'm like sweet. So I rolled back into the driveway and here's a big old black bear trying to get an empty diesel can in our you

know what I mean. And I'm like, here, he was out in grizz country and black bear country and had zero encounters, and yet right in the driveway, here's this big old bear that's like getting honorary about an empty diesel can. And I think that that right there is a because you just don't know where you're going to encounter black bears. Um, so you need to take precautions. When I'm in areas like Prince of Wales, or due to a place that there's a lot of high densities

of black bears California. People that hunt in California, there's a lot of freaking bears there. And so in those places where there's a lot of bear, black bears, I do take the precautions. If I don't keep food in my tent, I take the precaution. And you know, it never hurts to have some form of protection from any sort of prayer. If you're bow hunting in California, you know, it's not a bad idea to have have some kind of something on you. I always I'll never forget. I'm

just like, well, I reading what was it? There was actually Cam Haynes book on back country bow hunting, and he has a story in there about a guy named South Cox. They got tore up by a bear in California. Every time I'm hunting California, I think that as a black bear. You know, I've heard other stories of just people that have sent me, oh I got look at this. This is from black bear. And my buddy's cousin got taken out of her tent well River guiding by a

black beard. So yeah, when you're in black bear country, you really need to just also be aware of your surroundings at all times. But I do not personally. I think there is serious of a threat. Is grizzly bears, Like you have to be a hundred percent on it in grizzly country black bear country, Yeah, I don't know. I've had However, though I've had bad encounters with black bears. Well,

there's roughitely, there's roughly I don't know. It depends on the population, but there's ten times the amount of black bears in this country as there are grizzly bears. I have encountered more aggressive black bears than browns. Yeah, I mean I've had my I've had one follow me. Um, these are I've got some. Yeah, a lot of encounters with black bears. One of them I had one tear up my brand new four wheeler, had to one steal some packs from some hunters follow me. I had to

put the pistol in one's face and charged me. It charged like I should. I thought about shoot. I had a tag too and I but I just didn't want to deal with it. Spit. While speaking of camaigns, I have hunted with cam before where you know, hunting with a with a bow all on the ground in Alberta when there's fifteen eighteen black bears walking around you and they're all within ten yards complete on a bait side.

And the way that they express describe it up there is that if a grizzly comes into the bait, you stand up and you get your shotgun, or you stand up in a defensive position because the grizzly bears not coming into lick the honey. He's coming into mess with anything that's in his territory. And that's how they described it. And so I've never I didn't run into a bait that had both carriers and black bears on it. But

that's that's how they describe it up there. Uh yeah, I mean, but if you're in just black bear country, camping whatever, you should be cautious. You should take precautions. It never hurts to be cautious. So do yourself favor. Don't just don't just go into a situation thinking if if it, if it freaks you out, if you think, oh, there's black bears in this and I'm nervous, bring some bear spray, bring something. Follow bear safety tips, like what's

it gonna hurt. Who cares? You'll be more comfortable that way, especially family camping and stuff too. Oh yeah, gotta be on the ball. Okay, Well, can I tell a funny family camping bear story? Okay? So I was just divert

from the questionable quick. So my grandpa always had this story that he had he had he has white hair, so when we were little kids, like real little, he would tell us this story that a bear pete on his head and that's how his hair turned white, and so in order for him to get his hair back, we needed to pee on a bear's head for him. Right, So we're like on a family camping trip. I don't even know I was probably I was old enough to know better. I was probably like six years seven years old,

six years old. And then my little brothers are there and we're camping in northern California, somewhere in the Humble area, I don't know, campground style camping on the coast, and this big old black bear walks into camp, just checking people's coolers, and me and my brothers get together and we're like, wouldn't it be cool if we pete on this bear's head for grandpa? So it's like getting into our cooler and we think, okay, we're gonna jump up on the picnic table and pee on this bear's head.

So we jump up on the table ready to be on this bear's head, and the very season starts running and now we're like chasing the bear pants half down through the campground. These three little kids chasing this bear with their pants half down through a campground. People are looking like, oh bear, And then here come these like screaming kids running by trying to pee on this bear's head. That had it been successful, that would have been great.

That would have been counter an entire podcast. But yeah, how many people you think actually pete on a bear? I think anybody's ever made it happen like Luis and Clark maybe probably probably pete on a bear sometimes. Yeah, but that's my campground bear story to a unique story. So why we love your podcast. These stories you gotta get. Yeah, yeah, we may make that into a whole episode that should someone should animate that, like, okay, that would be a

great little animation. You're listening to this, you're an animator, Please let us know what it costs or just do it for free. We'd prefer that what else we gotta here? What else? What else? What else? We did three episodes on elk, so so as you can imagine, lots and lots of questions, questions, and we're still we're not out of the elk season yet now, so some of these I think can be helpful. Um here's one, well, let's see.

It was from Brian in Minnesota. He said he's traveling out west to Colorado to do some elk cutting this year by himself, and was asking that a lot of year in in episodes four or five six, where you talked about dogging, el can coaxing and loan bulls and non non vocal sounds, he says that a lot of that you were describing guiding another person or calling for

another person. You're on a show called solo Hunter. He's asking what do I do if I'm by myself and all these situations occurred, I've got to both draw my bow and break a tree or draw my bow and make you know, cow sounds and bugles in different directions. He's just asking for, like, how do you execute those things? Yeah? It is more difficult, but most almost all the elk

I've taken have been by myself. You know. I One thing I do is I like to change the direction that I'm calling to make it appear that I'm further back. Another thing is don't be afraid to move around. UM. A lot of the call like elk are expecting to see movement. You can get away with a lot of movement, especially when you're in a calling position. You just have to stay vigilant, keep your eye open, make sure that the elk is not going to see you first. But don't be afraid to do what you need to do

to get that bowl to come to you. Now when it's really bearing down. I prefer to use a diaphragm style call um because it's hands free. Al's got some elk calls. I always have calls I never UM, you know, but I I know that some people have trouble even using these calls, or don't practice with them, or can't

use them. So if out as you practice making the cow like the basic cow call with your voice, I use that a lot to stop the bull or to you know, if you've got to draw back and in bad timing, use just a that's no call, that's just my voice going practice that because that is key just to stop the elk sometimes you'll need that. Another good call if you don't have is like the kind that you bite, the biting call um, because you can keep it in the corner of your mouth. The name the

pre must makes everyone makes one. There's a lot of those. I've used quite a few of those in the past. Um but yeah, a lot out of the tactics that I've done the best too for being by yourself, the dogging elk and the calling to a loan bull, that's great. They're great setups if you're by yourself, So hopefully those situations arise. Yeah, that's just everything up hunting. Where you're by yourself and you're calling, it's more difficult, it's how it is, but it is doable. Yeah, it's tougher to

close the distance because you're closer the animal. You have to draw, you have to be ready. It's just tougher. But also think about calling further back and then sneaking up, like stalking to where it is, because when they're hold up, when you're by yourself, you make the moves, and so you can get away with a lot more just getting into position than moving crawling, closing the gap, closing the distance. He said it. He said the name of the podcast,

it's cutting the Distance. We started just as, um, just as this is a little bit of behind the scenes. We started out as closing the Distance. That was the show name. I didn't like that sounds like I'm in a bar because like trying to pick up chicks at a bar. I'm like, then cutting, that's not a good name. Cutting, but cutting cutting is better, Yeah, because if you're at a bar, you wouldn't you would close the distance, not cut it right too, that's too brash to brash. What

else we got? Oh, um man, there's a lot. There's a lot. I should make shorter answers and we can we have time for I think we have probably have time for two more. Two more. Um here's a good one. And this came in a lot. People love the shoes off situation. I think we might have to make a T shirt that says s OSS situations off situation. This was an episode ago where we talked about a Remy talked about Honey Mule Deer without your Shoes on, and a lot of you guys rode in to ask uh

specifics about it. But one of the things that came in the most was what's the craziest place you've ever done? An s os uh in the Chewcatch Mountains of Alaska, stalking some bedded doll sheep. It was closing in. It was steep, it was shelley. All sheep generally don't mind noise. But I was bow hunting and I was so close and in order to get a shot, I had to get closer because shoes off situation. It was wet ground, it was rocky. That was That was a major shoes

off situation. And then probably the second craziest shoes off situation, um bow hunting in Mexico, a little cactus country. But I did the sandal. I did what I liked, my my modified shoes off sitch, the sandal with sock over Yeah. That that helped with the old not a fashion statement, but effective. Well you don't see the sandal because the socks over the top. Yeah, you can wear socks under your sandals. If you wear socks over your sandals as well,

neither of what's very fashion. Yeah, what else we got here? People like the shoes off sitch though, I and the only reason I started talking about that that was one of the things that I just get a lot of questions about and think, uh huh huh. I mean every thing about every mule dear archery article you've ever read talks about that, and then people are surprised about it. Yeah,

I don't know. I think it's probably something that those of us who do a lot of stock and understand, but maybe those that that just see this that are either casual hunters that just don't do a lot of Western spot and stock. You know, you're stocking the thing I see all the time, big mistakes, guys wearing mountaineering style boots and like, I'm going to sneak up on this mule there in dry country in my uh full

shank boots. Good luck son. I would say the first time that we ever went to Lunai to stalk access here, I probably I probably bought brought a pair like crispy mountain boots that were probably and you notice that that first time, I just hunted like damn near barefoot the entire time, and I did pretty darn good and it was just like, yeah, I was just walking. I was like, it's flat, it's not bad. This one spot as well,

just hunting my stocking socks. All that we we ended up by the second or third trip we went over there, and you and me and everyone else didn't even bring put boots in your pack and just have them in case you had to walk on the road or something. But you just didn't even wear them, didn't even need them. So it depends on where you are. But and the funny thing is a lot of you guys that wrote in, you know, Remy does a lot of hunting out west,

and that's what this podcast really about. It's cool that a lot of you guys wrote in you're from all over the country and you're coming west to hunt. There's so much you know, there's such a divide regionally, but it just seems like there's a lot of people that are traveling from a long ways from the home place to go do these things. So it's important that you get it right. So I'm glad that those things are

coming together now. Probably the biggest question that I have this is uh episode four, it was called the Story of Stubby mcnubbon mcnubban's Stubby mcnubbins and um, a couple of people ask it in is Stubby mcne ubbens still roaming the hills of Montana? So yes, and no the o g Stubby mcnubbans. I think he's gone. However, his genes moved on. There's I mean it's one of the it's like bigfoot sightings in this area because there's multiple places where we're like we saw Stubby. I think it's

just Stubbies offspring. Dude. He was. He was the boss hog, he had his harem and he ruled the roost. It's his Jenes definitely got passed on the memory and the legacy of Stubby mcnubbans shallingder. God bless you, Stubby, Yeah, God bless you. Do you have any like what's in the future. You know, we're we've we've we want to do this. We're gonna do this, um you know, is as frequently as we can. Rebby be out in the

field a lot this fallen as well. I'm doing other things, but we're gonna try to make sure we do this at least once every couple of months where we gather all your questions and we answer them on the show. So look out for that. But there's a lot of other things is coming up as far as topics, so hopefully stick around what's what's what's burning for you? There, Renny. Oh, I think there's some good stuff as far as we're coming into. I like to make it topical and seasonal.

So and let's talk about a little spotting stuff, some rifle season LK hunting tactics, deer hunting tactics, then just some you know, some all around just good hunting skills. Man. We've been we've been hamming pretty hard on glassing tips, which we haven't covered yet on the show. So you think that's coming up, right? Yeah? Glassing. I mean that's the number one tactic for Western hunting. And that's the question I've been getting a lot. I just uh, someone
