What a great hunt guys. I'm impressed with how you guys change up area's, units, and tactics. I'm surprised that you haven't thrown in some time chasing upland birds and some fishing to boot. You guys hunt like family. Marcus and Mike, and Matt if he wishes, you guys are all worthy to carry on Randy's legacy, if and when Randy wants to slow down, alittle anyway 😉 Randy i agree. It would have been real cold of you to take that buck after he came up to you, shaked your hand and introduced himself to you. Testament to the guys you are.

Michael here. I use the ole Yamaha all the time, and it's remarkably reliable. I had a rock stuck in my impeller, and it was an easy fix, but I was eager to hunt that morning lol. While I do wish that I had a newer, nicer boat like Randy's. I bought my boat for less than what a new 60/40 Jet Pup outboard retails for by about 3 thousand dollars! Some day I'll have a nice shiny Jet. Looking forward to that day, but for now, the ole Yam will get it done! Thanks for watching!

I was just about to comment about shoving off without starting the boat motor first, then Michael's boat showed why.

@Fresh_Tracks 7 ай бұрын

Yeah I usually do do that. It was a really shallow spot and that was actually the problem. My boat sucked up a rock and it was stuck in the impeller which wouldn't turn the drive shaft, in turn wouldn't start the boat. I was in a rush to go hunting that morning and had plans to return and fix it mid day. But just kept on going, and going, and going. The next morning I took the foot off the jet, and a huge rock fell out. She started right up after that! It's an old boat for sure. But for the most part, pretty dang reliable. I'm also becoming a better boat mechanic lol! Thanks for watching! -Michael

Exactly. Jet drives are great for running rivers. When you're on plane you can get through really skinny spots that you would never be able to with a prop.

I just am completely blown away on how people are in the field actively hunting with their guns either still strapped to their packs. Or in Michael's case. Wrapped with a cover!! Why????!!! Not raining not snowing. Why why why? So you can watch bucks run off? Don't get it at all

$@soonerfrac4611$

@soonerfrac4611 7 ай бұрын

Open county in a spot and stalk scenario, while also using walking sticks in each hand negates having the rifle in hand. That means slung somehow. A most slings don’t generally work well with a backpack that size, plus this style rifle carrier also spreads the weight onto your rucksack instead of just the sling. The rifle cover isn’t for snow or rain, it’s dust and debris from the sagebrush and grass.

@sneakinguponit 7 ай бұрын

With a filmed hunt they aren’t as concerned about quick opportunities. The camera has to be set up and that takes as long as unstrapping, uncovering, and loading a rifle.

@heinrichstoltz1356 7 ай бұрын

It is okay if people (other hunters) do things different to how you would do it. There is no reason to be blown away. Sometimes seeing someone go about a process in a different way, it presents an opportunity to learn. There are some regions where I hunt where I will always have my rifle in a semi cover; why?! I know that the area always requires actual hand and knees or even belly crawling for success. And I’d rather keep my rifle and optic clean and free of dirt and plant debris.
