So I get up, get dressed, drive down there to stupid lair. I'm always, you know, 20 minutes. He's always the first man there.

So I'm sitting there, yon, I'm talking about, well, Phil and a whole crew comes in on his truck, three people, two people with you. Then Jace drives up behind me, yon, took him like 20 minutes to get out of the truck, finally walked by and I said, Stone's showing up today and I had to feel that too. And he said, well, he's supposed to. So I was sitting there the whole time, as soon as I dropped and shut the key off,

I said, what am I doing here? Yeah. So finally, I just said, well, hey, it was close to, you know, 5.30 after, hey, I was going to tell Dean goodbye because he's going back to Mississippi after Duckhart. So I just pulled out and was going, and they coming down the road, so I stopped, you know,

and they backed up. And Donald said, what's going on? on you feeling bad i said no i ain't feeling bad i just said i come to my senses i ain't going out there waste my darn time i said i said i had a real good day yesterday we killed ducks in the morning and then one and y'all had a deer that we wanted to shoot and he come out there and we popped him and hey we're back in the house by your old seven o'clock so you killed your big old buck dick oh yeah yeah i feel a good uh eight point hey that's good old meat hook meat hook so y'all got that accomplished.

And hey, I made a perfect shot on him. He sure did. Oh, Chad, the nurse practitioner is the phone wrong, you know, and I looked at it because I've got called before I know who's calling now. Oh, he's back on that caller ID bag. So you ain't going to hang up on me. Hey, look, I had 100 people calling me asking for money. So now my wife, all she does is picking the phone and says, if you're looking for

Yeah. But he was pretty dear. I mean, real pretty dear. And a good rack. Well, I think he's a little older than five and a half. He may be. Yeah. I think he's actually about six or seven.

I think he's in his prime. Well, he was still in his prime. Yeah. He's in his prime. Well, you'd be happy to know your prediction on Georgia, Alabama turned up beautifully. Hey, hey, I was going to say that. Hey, y'all heard it on the pod. cast first. If Georgia played like the football team, they've played all season, 13 and 1.

Alabama was on their eighth receiver. I don't care if they were going to a hundredth receiver. Hey, they were defenced, okay? They scored one touchdown. Otherwise, they was in there three times, and they had to kick a field goal. So Georgia shall four times. And one got blocked. Well, see, I was so tired last night after hunting in the morning for ducks and then hunting. and afternoon. That was way past your bedtime. Oh, no. I went to bed like stone.

I went to bed. I finally just woke up. And I looked at the clock. It was 8.30. And I said, click, turn the TV off. Weren't got to bed when asleep 8.30. So you had been asleep. Oh, yeah.

I didn't sleep in the recliner. The game started like at 7.30. Well, hey, I was asleep. I'd only watch about five minutes. I've been on an hour. You played poker the night before. Well, that's nothing. Went duck hunting.

Yeah. How was he poker game? I clipped them clowns for about 2460. $24.60. No, $2,460. Well, that sound like you need to open the donation line back up. Oh, that may be why. Hey, that may be why we're getting called all the time.

All them boys is telling on you. Call, Cy, he got all the money. Oh, yeah. So you're up on 2022. $2,040. It's time to retire. $2,400. I'll go back there.

I'll get it all back over the year. Plus a little and a kid. Nobody's going to win consistently all the time. You've been living fast. I know one person that does it. I know. But he's got a full grown meal you know where. Shued.

Okay. I don't know where. Please tell me. No. He ain't got to. the shoe he got the whole mule he got the whole mule no sire you had a full day you did you went duck puckered that night then went duck hunting then did a podcast and then went deer hunting so it was well worth it i enjoyed it was quite the day look i hadn't like okay i'm with i'm with two people

who my love very clearly okay and we're watching deer the whole time yeah so and then i get to shoot the buck we went after okay and look we're done he cleans it Okay, so we're done, okay, cleaning the deer by 6 o'clock. No wonder you like deer hunting so much now. You got a damn catty. Well, no, no, no. That's why I told you. I said, he's a good man.

You're like Tiger Woods. You got Steve on the bag over here. Hey, the man takes care of old people and children and does a very, very good job. I have not laughed that much in one day. I don't think in my entire life. I can't believe the deer even come out because we're laughing in the blind. Wait, you, y'all three, you two. All three is in the blind.

And Dr. Dean's. All three of us were in there. Yeah. And they killed. That's why, hey, and we had a riot doing it. Oh, I guarantee you. I've never had that much. And Stone was chewing Dean's rear-in because, hey, he said, he took the picture of us with

the deer. And Stone said, hey, I can't see his points. The point of this, he's an eight-point. I want to see all eight of them. The old day, he said, well, I'm trying. He said, what are you mean? He said, what are you mean? He said, hey, get it closer, draw it in or zoom in, do something.

Just take a different angle every now. He's a paintologist. He's a paintologist. He's a paintologist. Not a pictureologist. Well, he is a funny character. Oh, no, hey. He is funny.

No, we had a blast. It was a fine day. It really was. Yeah, it was. Well, I need to take you somewhere with me. You want to go buy some scratchoffs or something? You got a pretty good street. go in here.

I would like to hit the big, like, you know, $240 million lottery. Me too, because I think I'd get a million just by being as close to you. You would. You would. Just by diffusion, I think I'm making it get a million. If I had it, yeah, if I had it, yeah. This podcast would be over, I'd say that. No, I don't.

I have a blast doing the podcast. No, but I care. You would keep doing it? Absolutely, he would. But you know what? He would do it for us. He wouldn't stop on them things we'd tell him to stop on no more. Hey, we're going to take a break.

Hey, here's the deal. The editors would really earn their money. Cold and the boys would have, yeah, they would have a good job, okay, because I, wait, this podcast is edited? No. Well, I heard something yesterday that really made me laugh. You know, I told you the shotgun. and his little suspect these days,

just because everybody's getting older. So this mallard drake comes in lights. Oh, he got crippled down. But he's 20 yards, and Phil shoots, misses, shoots, it's 20 yards on the water, misses again, and Jay says,

hey, you're shooting over him. And Phil immediately said, my gun's shooting high. So it ain't him. No, it ain't him, man. It ain't him. No, my God shoots high, son. Yeah.

It ain't here. Hey, they told me when they brought up. Hey, these Benelli shoot high. My God. It ain't, I'm shooting high. Hey, look. I think Benelli's probably shoot pretty true. The Italians figured that out.

Hey, Italian. Two things really good. They make good pizza and good shotguns. Oh, I guarantee. And meatballs. Meatballs is Phil's latest. But it was instant. My guy's shooting high.

It wasn't. He had already assessed that blame in his head. He didn't even have to stop for it. I looked over at Jason. James was smiling. And then he said, well, let's see I shoot him. And then he said, I just bop. With that little, they call it by pop gun.

Okay. That's why. I say, why, every time they're out there over 40, I'm out. According to Phil Robertson, Jason Robinson, I have never killed a duck. And according to you, none of us have. That's right. According to the truth So I'm noticing a pattern

If I don't go They don't kill doodleoo Oh there's a pattern all right They went this morning I only killed three Because you wouldn't have Pitiful I showed up well day before

And they'd kill 14 I'm gonna say The dynamics of the blind Was not the same As it was yesterday A little bit lower morale That's the most I've seen Phil Robertson laugh

In a long time Oh, he laughed. He laughed. And all it took was one matter of Drake. Coming in back. Come in the decoys and get killed. Phil killed him. And that's all it took.

He probably. It was like flipping a switch. He could probably pull the plug on the place now. He did come in pretty, though. He really did. Oh, he was. He was high. And they hit him in.

Hey, he that's next time I know I'm looking. He's got them wings. And here he comes, boy. And then. Oh, I love him. come out of the sky. Oh, yeah. You're talking about fly.

Green, that sun is on that green head. They've got, what in the Encyclopedia is they say, they fly this fast and all this, and they got it even by species. You know, they ain't never seen one come out of the sky from up there where they look like they're mosquitoes. Okay. They're coming a lot faster than that, ain't it?

Yeah, and then when you hear them, you think a jet had just come over. I remember the day on Dog Bowell. Me and you. We hear a. And I'm thinking it's a jet flying low. And Martin looked at me. He said, hey, get ready.

It's three canvas bags. Oh, yeah. They come back and, hey, I said, that's what we killed him. I said, Martin, three ducks made that racket? Oh, yeah. That old ring neck, he can make some racket, too. Oh, he shot them cans in front of that scaffold line, and they hit the water down there at the water control structure.

That's how fast. That's about 250 yards away. We shot them right in front of us. That kind of shotgun right up size, Alley. Oh, yeah. He's a snap shooter way back. Pull out in front like a school bus and let her eat. Oh, I don't pull out in front of nothing.

I catch up with them and shoot them. When the gun barrel blocks them out. That's me, you and your son, wasn't it? That's me, you and Scott, I think, well? Yeah. That's a fun morning. Oh, that's a good hook. We didn't kill squat, really.

We got three cans, but we had a good time, though. And it was worth it just to hear that sound, and Martin said, he said, you'd only seen how high they was when they started down. I kept looking for them and I could just hear them. I'm looking. I'm looking and I finally catch a glimpse of gray. You go across there.

I said, whoa. And they come right there. Because they're supposed to be, according to the end of sarcasmuched, that's the fastest one. Canvas bag. Yeah. That's what they say, yeah. Well, let's take a... Because he's arrow dynamic.

Okay. From the tip of his bill, it's out of an angle where his body is. The only thing fashion is, canvas back this first break let's take it all right look springtime is here it's warming up you know what that means that means more outside cooking and y'all know we love to eat beef around here and that's what because of our friends over at tritels beef makes such a good product baby ain't it good it's so good it's our friend sall robertson would say

buy on the grill look before we got tritels getting ready for a cookout man somebody had to run the grocery store do all the things grab whatever was left in case you were late in the day. And you never really know where that beef comes from, but with Triedales beef, we skip the grocery store and do it a different way. Triedales comes from a family ranch out in Texas. They're a fifth generation American ranch, so they've been at it for a while. Now, look, the beef comes straight from their ranch and other ranchers they work with who raise cattle the same way. Their steaks are properly aged and shipped straight from the ranch to your door. We threw a couple of ribbys on the grill. Look, salt, pepper, garlic, hot fire, that's all you need.

look because I'll tell you what when the beef comes from people who raise cattle for a living you can taste the difference the tenderness and the flavor are fantastic so if you're stocking the freezer for grilling season go check out try tails beef I know in size case Christine loves it which is just a she doesn't eat me a big meat eater folks yeah just go to trybeef dot com slash that's try beef dot com slash support ranch families and eat some dang good steak we're in Lake Blind, which is, you know, a big cypress tree. How tall? How high up it was it?

14 foot off the water, okay? And it's like a, uh, one half of a horseshoe. You know, it's a skinny lake. So is it the horse or the shoe? Huh? The, the shoe. Not a skinny horse. That's bad business.

But anyway, y'all, it's a right on the Arkansas, Louisiana line. Just like it. like? Yeah. Hey, we'll hear them. Here they come. And it's about 40 of them. Except there's something funny about the bunch.

It's just a bright yellow spot in the middle of it. Oh, yeah. You know, and it's go. And feels that, hey, don't nobody move. And he said, and don't nobody shoot. Whatever that is yellow in that bunch, I'm fixed to kill it. So it makes around here they come back. He, boom, throws it.

Okay. You know, goes out there in the P-row. He's got a P-roll at the bottom of the area, you know, because we parked a big row somewhere else. Gets in the P-roll, goes out there, picked it up, coming back, and he said, hey, guess what this thing is? We all said, what? It was a bunch of cans back.

He said, you're exactly right. It's a canvas back, but it's bright, bright yellow. Canary yellow. They had took an egg and injected it with a yellow dye. And I ain't talking about it just a dull yellow. No, no, no. this is bright canary, y'all. They've done a bunch of the species of ducks.

They did them all kind of colors, pink, blue, red, yes, you know, and put a radio collar on them so they could see where there's migrate, because they know rednecks, okay? If something comes flying by that looks weird, a redneck's going to shoot it, but they ain't ground-checked. I got to be honest. Every bunch of ducks, I scan them for something different.

Oh, no, yeah. Before I start in, I look at all of them. I'm like, tell me, is anything out of that, are there? Is there anything, is there anybody in there different? Yeah, because Phil, when he was hunting with cocoa down down south Louisiana in the Mars, it was timber, it was flooded timber. You know, 62,000 acres. Yeah, the more, Paul Swan.

Yeah, yeah. They was, it was like 5,000 ducks come in and lit on them at daylight. And Phil said, don't nobody shoot. He said, what we want to do here, he said, find a odd duck in there, something different, something special. So they're all looking for one odd duck like Barton's talking about it. So it kills something. I do it every time they're working.

Every time they're working, I survey them. Some people even spot the bands on them. Yeah, I've seen a couple. So I said, hey, wait, wait, wait, wait, kill that big drink. What a one is ten of them? I've clipped me a couple. Boom. He said, that and right there.

He said, bring it back. It's mine. It's got a band. Yeah, I've clipped me a couple of them by surveying. If you ever see me shoot out of position, that's what it is. It's a ban. Well, or just something different. Or something in the ordinary, extra ordinary.

So you're saying they died the duck before it was born? Yeah. They died about an egg with a fine, fine, hypodermic needle. Martin, biology? That's what I was told. You can do lots of things. I mean, I'm not going to say you can or you can't. It would be an easy way to track them.

It's like when they put them collars on geese. and all that stuff, because then they can see them from a long ways away. I mean, I thought when he said yellow, it was going to be one of them. They used to put, like, nasal tags on them where they could see them from a long way, and it'd be a big yellow spot on top of his bill. Yeah, I ain't never heard of that. So, I mean, hey. Well, Phil killed a yellow one.

He met a guy in Arkansas that killed a blue one. Then somebody else somewhere that killed a pink one. There you go. And it was canvas bag. All canvas bag. Yeah, all canvas bag. Checking them divers out. Checking the diver.

The part I think is funny is Phil said nobody shoot but me. I'm going to. No, no. Yeah, because I, he just said, hey, nobody. You know why? Because he didn't want anybody claiming that they killed it. He wanted that to be his. Hey, well, hey.

When you're the general, you can do that. Yeah, when you're the captain. You used to be in charge. Yeah. He's used to quarterbacking himself. Hey, he's a control for him. He's a control for him. He's a control for him.

No, no, because I had said, I said, I said, say, look, there you go. They did it to chickens. Oh, wow. Okay, well, I'm just saying. And you all killed me. But I think about that, though, look, you're in a duck blind and something, that bright yellow, a big bunch of them

and only one of them in the middle of it's like that. The question is. Works on fish. Well, and the question is, how did he not get snuffed out by a hawker and eagle? That was kind of my thing. You were talking about that. We went to the Perth, Mississippi, for the quail.

Okay. They released quail, chucker, and feathered. You know, you would think a hawk would attack the quail. Now, they killed the feather.

Oh, yeah. The biggest one. He's slow. Well, no, no. You would figure a little one. No. Them quails fast, now.

Get on that big slow chicken out there. Well, I guess that's why they do it because, hey, they go and put them out, okay, and then come back and get the hummers. Yeah. Well, hey, by the time,

we got out there, the dog's up there, and the dog's hunting, and the dog hounder saying, hey, that's a pheasant. I can tell the way he's acting. So we're all getting ready for a pheasant. Not because he put him there. Yeah. But anyway, no, this one's laying in the middle of the road,

and he's half eight. Yeah. So it ain't been five minutes. And the guy said, hey, I said, a hawk guy, I said, it looked like they take the little bird. He said, oh, no, they want, like you're talking about, they want a big, slow chicken. That big, pretty bird.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, you got to think. You know, would you rather go to Popeyes or would you rather run down a chicken and eat it? A lot easier to go to Popeyes. Hey, you see me running. I used to get your gun ready to shoot whatever's changed at me. So Phil killed a yellow canvas bag.

Yellow canvas back. Right, yellow. That's interesting. I was back in, what, 72. It's illegal now. To do that to wild animals? Or to animals. You can't die animals.

Oh. Okay. It's inhumane. The question is, did it? affect his meat color at all was his meat yellow i don't know because they all he did was he mounted had it manned well where's that where is it oh it ain't no tell it okay that for 1772 no and phil he probably traded it for a hoop net somewhere along the way oh he may have you know no hold hold it hold it hold the line i had seen that in that house down there on the creek

but i doubt if it's there now gordon's old house No, no, where he lives, where he's been living since 1970. Phil's house? Yeah. Oh, Phil's house? Yeah. That house down there on the creek. On the creek.

I hadn't seen it. It used to be there because I've actually seen it there somewhere. Huh. But, hey, the whole house is slammed full of, you know, the hoarders stuff. Yeah, Kay's a bit of a hoarder. So, hey, it's stuck. I'm telling you, it's down there, but it's probably stuck in some closet or in somewhere in a drawer. It's probably in there by that grocery sack full of bands, Phil's got in that bag.

Well, it may be. I put them on a string. I put him on a string. I put his duck bags on a string. They stretch from here that door. I ain't lying to you. Hey, that's the reason. He showed me the bag one day and I said.

Hey, good. That's the reason that Mawlake is a refuge. Yeah. Phil Robertson. No, no. Yeah. Well, he did the responsible thing and reported it. We did.

We did what we're supposed to do is good hunters. when you kill something that's got a ban on it, they got a number you can call and find out when it was released and banded, all this good stuff. Well, they finally just was printing out, one guy said, wait a minute, I've seen that name before, Phil Robertson.

Oh, I've seen that. Computer. Run a test, give me the band that's got named Phil Robertson. Then next thing happened, they flew over it. Next thing happened.

Well, the government moved in and bought it and made a refuge. And they burned down the blinds. They burned down the blind. True story. Yeah. For a while, look, and hey. For a while there was remnants up there of it. Yeah.

Go fishing it. We had a floater on fish lake. We had a tree blind in the middle of the property, B-break. That's where all the ducks come in when they come in when they migrate. they go down and be break. That's the one that was real. Real, real high. Yeah.

How tall was that one? That was the tallest cypress tree in that swamp. Okay. And we built a blind and liked the lost demand of it. Yeah. Yeah. Tommy's one of a right guard or tackling at Louisiana Tech, Maurice Greer. Yeah.

That weighed in about 280. Total materials. Oh, yeah. Yeah. So look off. The ladder shifted on it. What we did, this thing is about probably six. probably 70 yards at the top of it.

Okay, so we made about five or six 14-foot ladders. 210-foot cypress tree. That's a big. No, no, no, no, no. Look, hey. 70 feet. Well, whatever. That's a lot.

Well, whatever. Yeah. But anyway, we had about six or seven ladders, okay, 14 feet tall. When we was actually, we had big long boats about all, you know, about big as my thumb, okay? And we was ratching them with metal containers going over our tubu-sixes that we made the latter out of,

you know, screwed into that cypress tree. What a man will do for a duck. Oh, no, yeah, but hey, it was worth it. One of the coolest mornings I hunted is that the blind shooting ports, you walked out, got on it, he walked up about four steps, got on the shooting ports,

and when you stood up, you're above all the blind. Okay, you're 100. 360 degrees you can shoot. Well, the fog is about right here on me when I stood up. I'm above the fog. It's clear. Bluebird day. Here comes 25 wood ducks.

You know, and that's three for three. You're talking about pretty. And look, they wasn't flying flags. I'm serious. They were just, it was like they wasn't even doing the wings. They would just kind of float. They thought they were safe. Oh, no, yeah, they thought, but no, wrong answer.

There was Silas. But hey, but you thought pretty. Man, that was a pretty spot. Somebody told me they burnt that now the top of the tree, too. Oh, absolutely. That's to keep some idiot from climbing up our 70 foot and getting duck on. That was some good ones, boys. Oh, that was pretty.

We used to go in there. Look, going Friday night. Hey, look, tell me about it in a minute. Let's take a break. Oh, no, you're talking about it pretty. One of the prettiest mornings I've ever seen. We've watched nine. Big river otters.

Heard to fish. Heard to fish. So what happened? I've already told that. Yeah. How long? So y'all went in on Friday night. It was a weekend thing for cutting back for y'all.

Yeah. We would go in on Friday night because you could kill the limited ducks and tag them. Okay. They had tags you could get. Okay. You know, we'd tag. Hunt Saturday morning. Tag them full limits.

Hunt Sunday morning. Tag them. Sometimes hunt Monday morning if we didn't have to work. Yeah. Tag them. How much beer did you take with you? No. No beer?

No whiskey. Phil and them was always, you know, he was on Moss Lake. Me and Tommy would be in, me and Tommy and Daddy or somebody else would be in. And fish or something or bee. Yeah. Yeah, they wouldn't, it was hard to get, uh, so you didn't. Al Bowling and Phil, it was hard to get him and whoever they was hunting with out of the Moss Lake blind. You might never had to take a tube before, you know, a pry bar.

Make them hunt somewhere else. You had to pry them out of that blind. So that was. their hole. Oh, yeah. Yeah, that was their hole. Tommy, you know, he hunted Fish Lake and then B-break a lot, you know. I got you. Yeah. But that was back, you know. That's a glory days of duck oh, no, yeah. That was. 10 a piece. 70 and, you know, you're talking, man, you're talking some duck hunting. It was fun to actually go up there, brush the blind on Moss Lake and then and a flight would start. Yeah, we'd go up there for daylight, you know, be working on a blind,

building it or brushing it. And they start coming in and Mallard was, and they'd come in at B. Break. And I'm talking about it's just one bunch to start circling and going down in that 30-foot hole and the brush under that big cypher tree. And it would start at daylight. It would be going that way at dark.

A black tornado of Mallards all day long. Black tornadoes. Lighting and hay. Lighting and swimming away. Lighting, swimming away. I've seen it once in Kansas. The tornado. I've seen a lot of ducks up there,

but the most ducks I ever seen was Dixie, Louisiana, on Red River. Many of the middle of high school went, and we killed one matter at hand, and I bet you I saw 10 million. Mallards. Look, far as you could see, 10 million.

It's coming from the north. Nothing but solid mallors. What was they running from? Hey, they're coming in and head and south. Well, one hen, one hen comes out of them big, high bunches, lit in the decoys, and I groundswatered her. One hand. That was only done we killed.

One out of ten million, that's right. One hen, her sigh, go, huh, ha, ha. That's it. Mama, that's it. Mama, that's like, must that long, lost daughter of mine down there. Hey, mama. I'm going, mama.

I'm coming, mama. Huh. Hey. I was back in the heyday, boys. I'm saying. No, couldn't any one it used to be. Oh, no. And like when the river got out of, you know, was flooded and flood stage.

Yeah. You know, we fish Moss Lake and Bee Break and, you know, Fish Lake. Yeah. But we pulled up there one day and look, we shut the vehicle off. And all you can hear is just, it's a roar. It's like thunder. Just whew. And all it is is brim feeding.

Just the smacking of them. eating mayfly and whatever critters is just hitting the top of the water. You're hearing used to be a lot better. Oh, no, no, no. Ducks sound like jet. You know, but it was so many fish, okay, in that area that it was like thunder. Yeah. Brim that sound like thunder.

I'm just trying to think I've heard Blue Gill pop my whole life. Oh, no, no, no. I'm trying to figure out how many of them. No, no. Second sound. Look. I saw it on Darbo one time, but it was croppy. It was a Mayfly hatch.

Oh, no. They put off that cliff down there. You know the boat around the top? Yeah, on the South Levy. There's a cliff about 30 feet high. And a big South wind come up and blew them mayflies out of them trees. And the channel runs right beside that. And it was in April.

Yeah. Ain't that something? And they called Mayflies. It was in April. No, no. Actually, I think it was in March. It was in March. And look, when he's saying, you know, you're talking about millions.

You can see, you know, the river channel. Okay, hitting the water. The river channel in that lake, you could follow the channel just by the fish smacking the mayflies. They were in the, there wasn't no fish outside the channel eating mayflies. They were all in the river channel. Oh, no, no. You talking about that?

That little bit of kern in that pond had it coming right. Me and Galwin had three fish. and we were heading to the truck, and I saw that. I said, what is going on? And we went over with our fish finder, and it just turned black. The screen turned black from the top of the water column all the way down to the bottom. So I took my little gray hair jig, flipped it overside boat. There it is.

And about an hour later, we come out of there with 100. 97 more of them. I actually done that when I was stationed in Massachusetts. I think you got in on some of that, didn't you? The next day, yeah. I got the tail end of it. I couldn't get no fish to hit. I was up in Massachusetts in a creek, okay, that was full of trout.

But I've seen trout jumping away 14, 15 pounds. I'm serious. I was out there waiting and had a Mayfly. Dang, megas. You know, hey, a Mayfly, artificial lure on my fly would touch it. But just watching that was so unique because it was literally, millions of little mayflies. Why didn't you grab you one of them and put on it?

Oh, no, no. I went to the bank, took my pocket knife out and cut me a big club. I'm serious. He went out there and was going to wait until they jump up because they was jumping over, they was jumping over by fly rod. So I said, I think to go out there and play baseball with these trouts. He said, I took my pocket knife. Yeah. And whittled me a club.

No, no, no. If you'd have been watching because I'm out there, chest even water swinging. and at fish coming to a top of water. I wish I could say you that. I'm serious. I spent the whole evening to slap dark trying to kill me one with a club. Si, looking like that guy on a buffalo. I'm telling you.

Break your gun on a stump, son. No, I'm serious. But that was one of the things growing up when it been with Phil, when we'd been all kind of hunting. We've seen some wild things. Oh, I imagine. You know, I was telling Dr. Dean about migrating squirrels. Oh, I know this story.

Okay. The great squirrel migration of 79. No, no. It's true story. Hey, you can Wikipedia this, okay, and he'll tell you. When the woods, it used to be just solid woods from Arkansas all the way down to Louisiana. Well, they would migrate, you know. When Phil told me about it, I said, where are you telling me?

He said, we're going to squirrel hunt and went to meet us up there. He told me how to get there. And I just bought me a brand new 22 with a scope on it. Well, when I walked up there, I looked at what kind of shotgun is that you got? I said, they ain't shotguns is 22 rival. We look, about five of us. They all got to laughing.

He said, what are you bringing the 22 for? I told you, these are migrating squirrels. And I said, well, what are you telling me? He said, they never stop. They're just going to go buy you in the top of the trees. And I said, don't worry about me. I'll get mine. And I did.

I did. I killed my limit of eight. And you shot them on the run with a 22. With a 22. In the head. In the head. Yeah. But hey, that's something to see because they go through the trees, chirping and everything.

You know, so you just are sitting there and all in front of you hear a bunch of noise. Squirrels barking and you look up and they just, and they never stop. They just go by you. I'd like to see. It's a cool thing to see. Oh, no. It's a cool thing. it really is.

They make a lot of racket. Oh, a lot of racket. What are you talking about? Sounds like thunder and a jet plane. What old dude? Just do that squirrel noise. Oh, skip. Oh, oh, the artist.

Oh, skippie. Yeah, skippy. Oh, Skippy. He sounded just like Captain's where. He told it. He sure did. You can take, look, you can cut you a limber limb off of a tree. With your pocket now?

Yeah. And then beat the snout out of a trap? No, no, no. and cleaned it up. It's got to be a limber one. And then just you do this real fast and it'll make a sound. And I'm telling you, they'll come through the shopper trees looking for you.

Just blow them off the limb with shotgun. How are you going to do that? You're whooping the air with other ones. Well, hey, you're whipping him. You better have a buddy. That's a buddy. When he comes to the sound, kill him. I'm all.

Call them, boy, that's right. You call him, I'm all. All right. Let's take another break. We'll be back right after. Watch this. Watch this lemon juice pour, by the way. Is it stout?

Zoom in on this. Zoom in all right. How much lemon? How much lemon? Watch how much limit. All right, boy. Good. Great.

That's what I'm so. Hey, take you a pull off that bottle. Oh. Watch it. Uh-oh. Oh, no, he didn't. Yeah. I've watched that man eat a whole.

He didn't flinch. No. Uh-uh. No. I like, hey, I like lemon juice. Look, at a, have you ever been to a restaurant with him? Yeah, he eats them, doesn't he? He eats a whole.

lemon while he's sitting there. They bring, I always tell him, I said, what do you want, darling? I said, I'll take. They call you, darling. Well, he is. He's America's daughter. I said, hey, give me unsweet tea. And I said, and bring me a bowl or a plate of lemon with it.

That was so much lemon. And there ain't nothing left but the rhyme. Oh, no, no. I sit there, squeeze the juice out. Eat the rind. You know, eat the goods of it. I've actually ate the rind too because the ryan's the best part for you. Oh.

It's a little too stout, though. Yeah. The rind's the best part for you? Oh, no, it is. That's where all the vitamins are. Here's what the nutrition's tell you. Which nutrition that are nutrition? All of them.

Well, hey, like if you buy an orange, a real good orange, you peel it. Mm-hmm. Throw the orange away and eat the pealots. I have a... Because it's way better for you. Okay. On that orange zest. He likes it, now.

A little citrus zest, kind of liven up the palate. Don't know what they say on Food Network. Lemon, little, lemon stout. Lime is pretty rough. I got a lime tree in my yard. Oh, no, yeah, it's rough. I'm a lime man. I'm a lemon man.

Stahl, I notice you over here moving a little ginger later. Oh, man. You all right? Well, yeah. Oh, I had a back injury this morning. Oh, you, I was about... I thought it was from giving this man the greatest, day of his life.

No, no, no. Carried him around. This morning. Well, what did you do to... Well, you wasn't there, so he wasn't having to carry nothing. I guess all that weight off his back. That's one of the reason I decided not to go. I'd give him a break.

He's giving your mule a day off. I'm giving him a break. It's important. Can't run them too ragged. I usually use when I go hide the vehicle, whatever vehicle we're using that day, I use that as an opportunity to get my cardio in.

Okay. I'll take off running through the water. Walkabout. Yeah, so. He got an Australian in him, I'm tell you. Well, this time, Phil says, Stone, he's hollering at me while I'm putting out decoys. I said, yeah, he said, I left my bag. When you get done, bring my bag back, go get my bag.

He left it at the boathouse, which is, uh-oh, uh-oh. He's hunting up in that north lane. I see why now. Pretty good little jonk. I see why now. I took, I took the boat back at the boathouse, got picked up Phil's bag, and I thought good. Creep.

It's like three cinder blocks. He's got a DWalk 2 kid in there. He's got everything. Ritches. Oh, yeah. He's got everything in there. It weighs. He's got a crescent wrench as big as the bag.

Yeah. I fixed that. For his propane. Right. That bag weighs 100 pounds. Yeah. But Phil carries, I would say, 250 pounds of grit every morning.

A propane bottle full. a fish cooker for a heater. And you know how heavy those things are. And his 100 pound bag. I don't think it weighs a hunter up, but it does weigh about 60 or 70. That's about like a bag of quick creak. It is.

It's 100. It's a hundred. So anyway. Two bags. 50 each, okay. It's two bags. It's a hundred pounds. Anyway, where we was hunting was too shallow to sink to Piro.

So I had to go hide the boat, had the boat in the blind at the lake where the boat run is and that the walk and we move that north lane floater on up the north lane so it was probably how far you think that is probably 700 yard 700 yard walk well it's 300 and you got to go out you got to go out and around too well yeah it's the least high and a few good pretty good ruts in there yeah uh so i put phil's bag on my shoulder and I thought hmm I don't know about this I said but I always look for opportunities exercise I thought this would be like the good old days you know on the on the on the rucksack march oh bad call bad call I said when I sat down that blind I had a twinge oh I said that ain't good

I said Phil what in the world do you have in that hunting bag he said everything you got to have it he got 80 pounds of gear it ain't got but a box of shells in there that's the funny part he ain't got no bullets i'm just he knows he don't need many hey i'm just the opposite yeah but that's my military i pack i'm not gonna go hand to hand because this boy ain't no ever hand and run out of bullets yeah i i carry four boxes of shotgun shells to me when i go hunting i pack like side bullets and a bottle of what i don't pack four boxes oh hey i put however many in my chest pocket on my waiters a hold and I got a bottle of water

in the other one. That's all I'm going. They drilled into me, you don't want to be hand to hand combat. And I said, nope, I'm too skinny. I ain't going hand to hand. He just grabbed what he's left in his box up. I'm going to have a gun. I'm going to have the bullets for the gun.

He ain't running out, boys. I ain't running out. Not only does he have four boxes in his bag, every pocket on his jacket is slam full of shotgun shells. I let him borrow my slicker the other day it was raining and I went to pick my slicker up and weighed about 15 pounds he had a box in each pocket yeah I'm serious right he ain't run it out I ain't run it out of

but in case that one day happened yeah mind you we can't kill but six yeah but he got 150 bullets that old enough he's waiting for that one moment well hey man stone has done disgust this I better not catch any deadly disease that I know I'm on my way out hey, then, hey, the gloves are off. And this kid is going to go slam insane. Well, here's what I tell you. Right now in North Louisiana, you could go slam insane. And good kill enough, it enough to get into trouble.

Yeah, you're going to struggle to get to six. You'll be struggling to just do something to get in trouble. He'll be out there shocking catfish. Doing it all. You got to think about it. The things are the most fun in life. Oh, okay. Kids.

Is the government Bade them illegal? Okay, that's a lot better than I thought of it. They're kind of like Jason Robinson. They don't have no fun for it. I had to get you, Jason. Don't worry, he'll listen. I ain't working.

He ain't listening. Nobody going to tell him. He's the name my name's sake, and he know I love him dearly. But have a little fun. He was laughing yesterday. He was laughing. If you didn't laugh at that, yeah, something bad role, but he was laughing. Well, that was just, that was going down memory road.

Oh, yeah. Yeah, we've seen so many wonderful things out in God's creation. That was the best part of it. Well, let's take our last break and we'll get in that mailbag. Oh, we fit. We fit you check in a mail bag. Well, I tell you what, that shot was way better than that one on that little earland out there at the dog. I was really concerned when you shot 10 foot over that deer.

I thought to myself, well, he ain't got a long left. And typical Robertson's gun, though. No, no, no. He said, what's wrong with this gun? I said, that's bullfrogs good. There ain't other role with it. He said, did I shoot over that deer? I said, no, I didn't say that out today.

If they had me on the medical machine that shows brainwave activity, I said it wouldn't have been there I've never seen a man shoot 10 foot over a deer Oh yeah Oh no I tell you He totally redeemed himself He made the absolute

Perfect shot on that buck yesterday But it took three minutes of me Talking him down Because his finger was doing Look I was watching that finger He's lying No

He's lying Look we're sitting there When that buck walked out there I said there's a buck and he looked and he said wait me he said he turned out he said he said to step him

down yo don't be shaking you know he's shaking me because he's shaking I was all okay yeah and BK.

a back bill for that he had to tell him hey dad it's okay yeah quit shaking you're gonna make you a video terrible I was telling you keep your head down

he said I know it I said nothing moves back your finger I know it And look at his fingers. He said, and make sure he's wild side.

I said, I know it. I said, he's buying four deer right now. I got to wait until they get. I get a clear shot. I was just trying to calm me down. I said, I got him. I got this. Oh, he smoked.

He's smoked. Look, lights out. Lights out. Oh, meat hook gone. He's gone. Johnny, what's in that? Hello, H-E-L-L-O at duck callroom.com. Mailbag.

I still got good ones. I still got good ones. I'm glad. Fans are getting in. involved here, boys. I do. I love size stories today, but Connor has

emailed us. He doesn't. Oh, South Carolina. Is he from South Carolina? No. Is he 24? No. Has he been married for three and a half years?

No. Different Connor. All right. So Connor says he still has a lot to learn, so he figures he's asked the veterans of marriage and food what their advice would be. This is not going to end well.

Oh. On marriage and food? Yeah. When you're combining these, two things. I got a story to tell about it. His wife can cook well, no doubt. She has her staples.

He lists a few jumble-eyed. I'm not sure about South Carolina Jambalab. Here's the problem. She likes to change things up. She will take a perfectly good recipe from one of her staples. Then like white chicken chili, he says. It's not my thing, but it is his thing. And then change it up and tries up a new out.

And he gets all excited about it. Then it's supper time, and she's used ground chicken instead of chopped chicken breast. I don't know what ground chicken is. Oh, you can buy it. Look like hamburger meat. That's chicken? Chicken. You can get it chicken, turkey, pork, you name it.

Oh, I guess you can grind anything. And he's like, gross. She took something perfectly good and switched it up. She sounded like she got a little Willie Robertson in her house. That's what it sounds like. Sounds like she's a goulash. A goulog. Yeah.

Gullis. Slum, gulog. All she's doing, okay, in my humble opinion, you can always, okay, strive to make something better. What happens when you make it worse? Well, no, no. So here's the deal. That's where, hey, that's one of the things you've got to be, you'd be tactful on this. So everybody's always looking for a short point.

Hey, I like it just the way you do it on the recipe. I mean, from the sounds of it, just like in a chip. It'd be a lot easier to use ground chicken and having to shred chicken. So recently Allison got a cookbook from the Pioneer Woman. Love you, Pioneer Woman. But it had like shortcuts you could do. And so Allison was making steak fingers and gravy and mashed potatoes. And she used the shortcut of just used corn flakes for the breading.

Uh-oh. That makes sense, right? But then when Carter ate it, he goes, Mom, this is, what is this? thumbs down, and he yelled that at her. I said, hey, we don't, it's probably pretty good. Mom worked hard on this. Then I took a bite and was like, hmm. And then I tried the gravy, which was cooked in the, you know, where you fried.

The drippings. Yeah, the drippings. And I said, how, what kind of corn flakes did you use here? She goes, just the regular ones. And I said, first the box. It was frosted flakes. Oh. Oh, no.

So the gravy had like a cotton candy twang to it. You had dessert steak. I had two bites. And we all laughed about it, but sometimes shortcuts are dangerous when you're not thinking. Y'all go with Johnny's or Dominoes? Who saved the day? I have a sandwich. I had a sandwich on back order.

But yeah, you got to be careful. But, I mean, you can laugh about it, which if it's that bad, the only answer is to laugh. Now, that one you got to laugh at it. Well, look, here's the deal. I mean, just be thankful that you got a woman that a cook for you. Yeah. You know, my wife does not cook at all. And there's some people right here that are very good that Dan does that

because Stone is an excellent cook. I try. Well, I do it out of necessity. And you've actually got really good at it. She might get corn casserole in the dust. She's a pretty good dessert woman. Oh, yeah. She's making bad dessert things.

Oh, she makes a good corn casserole. Yeah, she can bake. She can't cook. She's on the, I'll give you an example. Nan makes great cowboy cookies, her and BK both, and she's upgraded, okay, in my humble opinion, because we had something other than that, okay? Stone cooked me a big filet mignon,

which was fine as frog hair split 78 ways. Did he burn it? No, it was perfect. But anyway, the man has upgraded on the cowboy cookies. She added something more to it. It's not medium well. Because now they are fine. Butterscotch Cowboy Cook.

Oh, they are fine. Oh, instead of chocolate chips. Oh, no. They are better, too. Way better. I ate six of them. Praise God. Oh, boy.

Hey, boy, Martin's going to start preaching about this food, boys. Every now and then they have to drop off of ten of them cookies. Oh, no. Oh, she's upgraded them and these are fine. They are fine. I love them way better than the chocolate. So what was our man's question? We don't got way up.

Oh, yeah. He was just wondering how to approach the situation. and not hurt his wife's feelings. With tactfully. Be open and honest communication. Hey, it's better to tell your wife. Stone says, don't say anything. Just eat it.

You don't even can't understand how much I love you. But hey, next time you cook this, use the original recipe, please. I just, now on that one, you just tell her, say, man, I think I like that pool chicken more than I like that ground chicken. Move on. And then she'll say, you pull it. Yeah. Stone's been traumatized. All right. Well, speaking of Stone and his wife.

Here we go. Annie. And his wife. Annie. Okay. And your wife. Annie. Speaking of Stone and your wife, Annie sent in a question. Very confusing. Hello, love the show. She has a question. The other day I heard Jay say marry someone who can help you get to heaven.

She's heard other people say it. I've never heard this phrase or use this phrase. Can you explain what you meant by that stone? Oh, good grief. When you go to marry somebody, you're looking for somebody that, number one, loves Jesus. And number two, that you can live with yourself. You know, that's not easy. I mean, being married has got a lot of challenges, as we all know.

but what I meant by that is if they love Jesus they're going to help you get to the ultimate goal which is to get to heaven so I think that's all I meant by and I think you can use that phrase too to refer to friendship

or with anything well everybody's whoever you can choose to be around people that are going to bring you up or bring you down you down that's right I prefer up yeah and be a good influence I mean yeah because

you know everybody's going to struggle they're all going to make everybody's going to make mistakes but just try to pick somebody that will help you get better. Yeah. Absolutely. Great way to put it. Cy, anything on that?

No. Be positive, boys. He's all tuckered out. Hey, I've been around people that are negative, okay? That's rough. That's why he went back home. That's it. Be positive.

I've never seen he pull that move. I'm driving down there, size coming the other direction. I actually drove down there and then when I got up, pulled up and shut the end of the end of the office. I said, what are you here for? Life too short. What are you here?

We got one more. We got one more, yeah. Yeah, we got time for one more. I got one more. I like this one. Corey in Mansfield, Ohio. He liked our New Year's resolutions. He's going to delete everything off his phone.

But he's about to have. have a baby girl. All good. And he wants us to name her. Oh, no. First and foremost, congratulations on. That's not true. Oh, great God.

Receiving one of God's blessings for you, a child. What is he wants? And, sir, my advice to you is, hey, you and your lovely wife, y'all name your children. Well, no, so they're just undecided, so they wanted a little hell. He doesn't actually want us to name it. Oh, okay. Oh, so he got it down to two? or something.

We've got two options. Judah and Charlotte. Charlotte would be a shout-out to his stepfather, Charles. Judah would be in recognition of the heritage of Jesus. My daughter's name's Lottie, which is short for Charlotte in some cases, so I vote Charlotte. But she's just Lottie. My personal opinion, you know, you're going to have to choose. I like both of them.

He likes both of them. Judah is a pretty cool name. What about Charlotte? I would lean toward Judah. That was actually, Judah, Charlotte. I'm not going to say his last name on here. Yeah. But.

Or Charlotte, Judah, Judah. They both sound good with the last name. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But Corey, congratulations on the daughter. Amen. They're a handful.

Yeah. Let me tell you. You got one, Hammer. This hand right here. I got three. Look, they're all fun. They're fun until they get about 14. Then they just go nuts.

Well, hey. That don't matter if they male or female. I was saying that's both, you know, species. My advice is he starts saving money right now. Put a little back. Hey, put it back, boys. Put it in the bank. You're going to need it.

Pretend like you got a bill you don't have. Yeah, that's right. Well, you want to close it? I got us a good verse that I honestly, I googled something in a break and I really liked it. And so I'm going with this one. This isn't something I was able to just come up with. Well, hit me with you bet.

Google help. Job. chapter 12 verses 7 through 10 but ask the animals and they will teach you or the birds in the sky and they will tell you or speak to the earth and it will teach you or let the fish in the sea inform you which of all these does not know that the hand of the lord has done this in his hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind i like it we went kind of old school nature today. I like it.

And I really like that verse. It's a good thing I don't need the ducks to tell me anything right now because they ain't here. Well, I'll end this with a, we're duck hunters. And hey, the almighty, when he made a duck and he made a bunch of species of them, okay, they're a jet, okay, they're a boat, okay, and they can be a submarine when they choose to be. Yeah.

So, hey, put that. in your pipe and smoke it baby the almighty is hey he has done some incredible things so put that in your pipe and smoking we'll see y'all right here next time for either a jet a plane or a submarine you take the joy you want to ride on boy we're out a boat a boat
