Speaker 1: All right, you got all those Christmas gift cards? What
Speaker 1: to do with them by hunting gear of course, and
Speaker 1: all that is right here on Gun Talk Hunt. Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm kJ, dedicated lifelong hunter. Here. If you got an
Speaker 1: interest in all things hunting, you're in the right spot.
Speaker 1: Whether chasing quail across the plains of Oklahoma were in
Speaker 1: pursuit of belk in the back country of British Columbia,
Speaker 1: you'll always find me on the hunt. All right, welcome
Speaker 1: in all you Gun Talk hunters. I am your host, kJ,
Speaker 1: and I guess this is our Christmas episode. I didn't
Speaker 1: really dress up for it, but I'm gonna just tell
Speaker 1: you right now. I'm donned in a nice sitka little
Speaker 1: hoodie pullover in the Lichen green. I really like this
Speaker 1: a as a like a hunting solid is what I
Speaker 1: would call it. But it's an early season or a
Speaker 1: spring type of wear. But you got all these gift
Speaker 1: cards coming to you on Christmas, I'm sure, and you're
Speaker 1: sitting there and you've probably got your wish lists lined out.
Speaker 1: But on today's episode, I'm going to go over the
Speaker 1: gear that I use this hunting season that really helped.
Speaker 1: It helped my mood. And of course I don't have
Speaker 1: the peanut butter eminem's here, but it's all gear that
Speaker 1: I've purchased and I have faith in. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: get to that. But first, our sponsors are We're brought
Speaker 1: to you by Ruger range Ready Studios, Savage Arms, cz Usa,
Speaker 1: and Hodgden Powders. All right, so watch it, listen to it.
Speaker 1: I don't care how you do it. Subscribe, do all
Speaker 1: those cool things that the YouTubers say to do that
Speaker 1: are important to this channel to keep it running. But
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump right into it. I will be looking
Speaker 1: down at my computer. I apologize, but there's so much
Speaker 1: information out here. I can tell you how they were
Speaker 1: used in the field, but like some of the finite
Speaker 1: details and everything like that, it's a little bit harder
Speaker 1: for me to remember, like twenty products that are up here.
Speaker 1: So I apologize for that, but I will tell you
Speaker 1: right now, I'm going to start off with an absolute
Speaker 1: banger of a product. This sucker. It goes everywhere with me.
Speaker 1: This is not just for the hunting guys, this is
Speaker 1: not This is for the everyday person that wants to
Speaker 1: be prepared. I don't care if you like guns, I
Speaker 1: don't care if you think like this, guns are icky
Speaker 1: and gross. There's always a reason to be prepared. There's
Speaker 1: always a purpose behind a lot of the gear that
Speaker 1: we carry. So the first one is the micro trauma
Speaker 1: kit from Blue Force Gear. Man, I'm going to tell
Speaker 1: you right now, I kind I think I feel like
Speaker 1: I kind of got screwed over on this and you
Speaker 1: guys are getting the better end of this deal. This
Speaker 1: goes in my pack, or if I have time, I
Speaker 1: could have it on my belt, which would be the
Speaker 1: wise choice if you're out in the field or if
Speaker 1: you're on a hike, having it nearby and close is
Speaker 1: very important. But this is, mind you, a micro trauma kit.
Speaker 1: It's a complete kit. The reason I got screwed over
Speaker 1: is because I paid upwards of one hundred dollars for
Speaker 1: this kit and currently right now I'm looking on their
Speaker 1: site at blue Force gear dot com twenty eight bucks.
Speaker 1: I don't know how this is possible. I really don't.
Speaker 1: Maybe that's for empty pouch. Okay, all right, so okay,
Speaker 1: all right, So the no contents pouch would be your
Speaker 1: twenty eight bucks. But if you just get the essential supplies,
Speaker 1: it's seventy six bucks, and that's down from one hundred
Speaker 1: and forty one dollars. So these are it looks like
Speaker 1: they're trending towards almost fifty percent off. So to have
Speaker 1: a micro trauma kit is essential. But with the Essential kits,
Speaker 1: you get your trauma gloves, you get quick quick clot,
Speaker 1: mini compression kit, a hypothermia blanket, and a flat fole
Speaker 1: and flatfold tape. So I got the Advanced kit, which
Speaker 1: is more expensive. So it is it is more expensive,
Speaker 1: but it comes with all the stuff that I just
Speaker 1: mentioned for the Essential kit, plus your chest seal, a
Speaker 1: NASO fair and genial airway, and a decompression needle which
Speaker 1: I took the decompression needle out because I am not
Speaker 1: skilled to do that. I don't feel like a stop
Speaker 1: the couple, stop the bleed. Clinics will get me to
Speaker 1: that point where I'm comfortable with that. But I kind
Speaker 1: of rearrange this kit a little bit to meet my
Speaker 1: needs because you know, it doesn't have band aids in there,
Speaker 1: so it has these it's more of a trauma it's
Speaker 1: a trauma kit, so I throw in a couple of
Speaker 1: band aids in there and stuff like that. Just to
Speaker 1: help me out through the field. So man up to
Speaker 1: seventy percent off, and I don't see it up here.
Speaker 1: I don't know why I didn't grab it. I must
Speaker 1: have left it outside. But a combat application tourniquet a
Speaker 1: cat tourniquet, which you can also buy from Blue Force Gear.
Speaker 1: Always keep one of those on hand because you never
Speaker 1: know what you're going to encounter, whether it be a
Speaker 1: car accident on the side of the road, which happened
Speaker 1: to me a few years back in Canada, or you know,
Speaker 1: someone is cleaning a deer, which almost happened to me.
Speaker 1: That was that was terrifying you. I mean, you get
Speaker 1: wildy with a knife and you just don't you stop thinking.
Speaker 1: So that that's important, all right. So Blue Force Gear
Speaker 1: awesome product. Carry with me everywhere. We have them all
Speaker 1: over the place here around Range Ready Studios. Okay, So
Speaker 1: in the field, I've got to come up with it.
Speaker 1: I needed to come up with a better solution for
Speaker 1: some magazines. I was having a lot of magazine issues
Speaker 1: with my six five Creedmores or my three eights, just
Speaker 1: a lot of magazine issues. And I've found through some
Speaker 1: competition and some more serious shooting, Uh, The MDT metal
Speaker 1: mags are phenomenal. This is a twelve plus uh plus
Speaker 1: I think two adapter. Yeah, it's a twelve round adapter.
Speaker 1: These go for seventy nine bucks on mdd MDT TAC
Speaker 1: dot com.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Really great magazines. I would suggest, highly recommend you get
Speaker 1: the metal magazines. I've messed with the polymer ones from MDT.
Speaker 1: They were okay, they weren't awful, but man, the metal
Speaker 1: ones absolutely are great. And they sell them in seven,
Speaker 1: they sell them in ten, they sell them in twelves.
Speaker 1: I got twelves because they transfer easily over into competition.
Speaker 1: So just a heads up on that, all right, Moving
Speaker 1: on bipod. What bipod am I running? I'm running again.
Speaker 1: I'm going to MDT TAC dot com and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go with a skypod. I've ran Harris bipods. They're They're great.
Speaker 1: If that's what you can go for, that's awesome. I
Speaker 1: would say one proceed with confidence with Harris Warn. I
Speaker 1: like Warn, I just had one issue with a foot
Speaker 1: on one of mine. The rubber grommet for the foot
Speaker 1: came off and I can't get it to stay on.
Speaker 1: So that was the only issue I had with that one,
Speaker 1: but the adjustments and everything on the worn scopes was
Speaker 1: really really good. So the skypods I have up here
Speaker 1: with me a single pole, and I really like a
Speaker 1: single pool for out where I hunt because I there
Speaker 1: is a better opportunity for me to get prone in
Speaker 1: most places. However, if you really want to spend those
Speaker 1: Christmas gift cards and put them all towards one, I
Speaker 1: would probably recommend a triple poll. It is beefier, it
Speaker 1: is bigger, and it is more expensive, but you can
Speaker 1: you can shoot seated, you can shoot kneeling, and you
Speaker 1: can shoot prone from that. I mean really the only
Speaker 1: position that you can't is standing unless you're like three
Speaker 1: foot tall. So just saying like they're they're really solid.
Speaker 1: They are more expensive, just just warning. A triple pole
Speaker 1: is going to run you a thousand bucks and a
Speaker 1: single pole is going to run you about eight hundred bucks,
Speaker 1: so eight hundred nine hundred bucks. So it is more expensive,
Speaker 1: but good bipod if you're utilizing it over competition through
Speaker 1: your hunting, buy once, cry once. On most of this stuff.
Speaker 1: It's buy once, cry once. All right, we're gonna go
Speaker 1: to the next product here, and this is probably my
Speaker 1: favorite and I don't know why I'm starting now with it.
Speaker 1: I should save it to the end, Benjamin, Should I
Speaker 1: save it to the end? Oh man, he says, save
Speaker 1: at the end. Okay, I'm gonna save it to the end.
Speaker 1: You could. You can blame Benjamin for this, like seriously,
Speaker 1: just blame him and you'll be fine. This would is
Speaker 1: an Armageddon Game Changer X bag. I picked this one
Speaker 1: up at the PRS match in at K and M
Speaker 1: Shooting Complex, and I will tell you this is my
Speaker 1: favorite bag right now. The Game Changer X gonna run
Speaker 1: you anywhere from one hundred and nineteen depending on what
Speaker 1: fill you get. But this has the party mix in it,
Speaker 1: so it is a lighter bag. I will carry this
Speaker 1: in my pack because you never know when you need
Speaker 1: a because it can function as a rear bag. I
Speaker 1: can throw it over a fence post if I need to.
Speaker 1: A very sturdy bag, waxed bag. So here it is.
Speaker 1: So with your standard beads, it's going to be five
Speaker 1: point eight pounds. With your specs light, it's going to
Speaker 1: be one point two pounds. So if you really want
Speaker 1: a bag that's nimble, lightweight, and you're trimming down, if
Speaker 1: you're marching far back. That would be it special, your
Speaker 1: special sand. I don't know what makes it special that
Speaker 1: it kind of gives me cause do they sit there
Speaker 1: and polish each grain of sand? I don't know. But
Speaker 1: it's thirteen pounds the party mix. This is a ten
Speaker 1: pound bag, so ten and a half pounds, fifty to
Speaker 1: fifty mix of heavy and standard, which is what the
Speaker 1: paraty mixes. So I kind of dig it. I like it.
Speaker 1: And here's where I found it, almost more useful than anything.
Speaker 1: As I keep this in the truck with me, I
Speaker 1: put it on my center console and I and I'm
Speaker 1: able to rest my arm on it and it cradles
Speaker 1: the arm just fine. So that's a really good one
Speaker 1: that I would highly recommend you get or look at.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about cutlery, because we've got a bunch of
Speaker 1: different knives up here that I find really useful. I'm
Speaker 1: going to start talking about. So when I'm starting to
Speaker 1: process a deer, I don't have a gambrel hook that
Speaker 1: hangs from the tailgate, and I don't have something set
Speaker 1: up on the farm or the ranch, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it. The lease, Let's call it the lease.
Speaker 1: So a lot of So when I'm traveling to hunt
Speaker 1: in different states, I usually have to take everything with
Speaker 1: me and a big game gambrel off the tail hitch.
Speaker 1: My truck takes up so much room. I just I
Speaker 1: don't want it to take up that much room. And
Speaker 1: so that's one of the reasons why I processed here
Speaker 1: on the back of my tailgate, or if they're way
Speaker 1: far back, I'll just process them out in the field
Speaker 1: and just pack them out. But a good boning knife
Speaker 1: I have found is one hundred percent essential. Oh it
Speaker 1: makes such a big difference when you're carving up game.
Speaker 1: And the one I'm using is the professional boning knife
Speaker 1: from Knives of Alaska. Now, I've been a big fan
Speaker 1: of Knives of Alaska for and they aren't a sponsor
Speaker 1: of the show Man. I wish they were. That'd be
Speaker 1: really cool to get them on.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: But it's a eighteen to twenty degree bevel angle sugarrip handle.
Speaker 1: I like it that it's bright neon orange because I
Speaker 1: can look around and I can find it immediately on
Speaker 1: the back of the tail gate. It's a five inch blade.
Speaker 1: It's lightweight. It's four point two ounces, so it doesn't
Speaker 1: weigh hardly anything. It maintains its sharpness. I cleaned seven
Speaker 1: deer over a week and I barely touch this blade.
Speaker 1: I barely touched it. I just hit it once or
Speaker 1: twice and it's still it's still rocking like a like
Speaker 1: a scalded dog. So I would highly recommend this. And
Speaker 1: this is I don't know. This is one of my
Speaker 1: favorite favorite knives to carve up meat with. Now and
Speaker 1: going on that, let's continue on with man. I guess
Speaker 1: let's go to my title knife that I've I've shown
Speaker 1: this before. This is an older version they've updated since then.
Speaker 1: It doesn't look like much. It weighs nothing, and it's
Speaker 1: a replaceable blade knife is what it is. But it's
Speaker 1: more like a fixed blade rather than a folder. Folders
Speaker 1: made me a little in their risks. I don't know why,
Speaker 1: but they did. But it's more of a fixed blade,
Speaker 1: really durable construction because now it is Sarah coated, which
Speaker 1: is great. You do you could lose this, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: just tell you right now. Like there's there was like
Speaker 1: three or four times where I was like, where's my knife?
Speaker 1: Can't find it? So I would recommend they do offer
Speaker 1: like a blaze orange one I would probably recommend this
Speaker 1: if I had it to do over again, I'd probably
Speaker 1: buy that one because this one could disappear in the
Speaker 1: blink of an eye. That's going to run you about
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks. One hundred and nine bucks because they've
Speaker 1: updated their model and they take the sixty A blades,
Speaker 1: which will just jump into it. I've got to kill
Speaker 1: kit right here. This is what goes with me in
Speaker 1: the field. I've kind of I bought the pack off
Speaker 1: of Amazon. I don't I don't even know who makes
Speaker 1: this little it's a little utility pouch that has Molly
Speaker 1: on the back. And I've got two bigger knives in here.
Speaker 1: One I think, I don't mean one's at Gerber and
Speaker 1: the other I think the other ones at Gerbert. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're both Gerbers, but they're big, heavy knives for you know,
Speaker 1: like breaking down you know, those joints in the in
Speaker 1: the rumps of deer. And then I've got a knive
Speaker 1: of Alaska. This is a little rib spreader, five inch
Speaker 1: rib spreader. If I decide to take out, take out
Speaker 1: the internals and then open that chest cavity up. But
Speaker 1: I've got all my replaceable blades in here in a
Speaker 1: plastic container and then I do have See, you only
Speaker 1: learn this stuff by going out and being unprepared, like
Speaker 1: that's how you learn how to do all this stuff,
Speaker 1: like and what to take with you. I've got dude
Speaker 1: wipes in here, like little single packages of dude wipes
Speaker 1: for after you get done cleaning. Uh. And of course
Speaker 1: I've got some little plastic gloves in here that'll keep
Speaker 1: your hands nice and clean. So that's what's in the
Speaker 1: kill kit. It's such a simple kit. And I've got
Speaker 1: a little sharpener in here, but we'll get to a
Speaker 1: sharpener right after.

Speaker 1: I'm telling you you look for stuff to buy every Christmas.
Speaker 1: I get I get a couple like gift cards. I
Speaker 1: might get some cash from an inn or something like that.
Speaker 1: But I'm always trying to figure out, Man, what do
Speaker 1: I buy? Like, there's so much stuff I love. I
Speaker 1: love gear. I love gear that makes my life easier.
Speaker 1: And that's kind of what I've got laid out on
Speaker 1: the table that all this stuff that I'm talking about
Speaker 1: has made my life so much easier. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: So we're going to talk about the sharpener that I've
Speaker 1: used in the kitchen, that I've used in the field,
Speaker 1: and that I've used in my workshop garage. Let's just
Speaker 1: all be honest, like it's it's a garage, but it's
Speaker 1: from Ward Hoog. It's the V Shop V sharp A four.
Speaker 1: I'll show you how this works. It's really cool, it
Speaker 1: really is. I'm going to clear out a little space here,
Speaker 1: but it gets your angles right every time you don't.
Speaker 1: I suck at sharpening knives, I said it. I suck
Speaker 1: at sharpening knives. But they make But what ward Hog
Speaker 1: does is they make it easy. And again I was
Speaker 1: on an event. I was on a media event and
Speaker 1: they they hosted us and that's where I got this sharpener.
Speaker 1: Ninety nine bucks, I believe on Amazon is what these
Speaker 1: are running you. I think you can find it on
Speaker 1: their website for one hundred and nine something like that.
Speaker 1: They've got varying models, but they do have like a
Speaker 1: small like to go model that is pretty dang slick
Speaker 1: that I do carry also out in the field, like
Speaker 1: I'll carry it in a in a bin with me.
Speaker 1: So I really like the to go model and I'll
Speaker 1: figure what that is for you guys. But all right,
Speaker 1: so I'm gonna take this boning knife here and I'm
Speaker 1: going to show you how this works. And you kind
Speaker 1: of have to like sling your wrist down you hold it.
Speaker 1: It's really easy. I mean, it's that easy, and it
Speaker 1: cuts the angles perfectly for you. You run it through
Speaker 1: there ten times or so and you're back to running
Speaker 1: like you were when you started. On fixed blades, folder
Speaker 1: tactical knives and even and I was using it on
Speaker 1: the replaceable blades. You know, there's some blades you buy
Speaker 1: on Amazon which I've been guilty of. If you don't
Speaker 1: buy the really good ones, they run out. They're halfway
Speaker 1: through a deer. You're like, this knife doesn't work. Hit
Speaker 1: it with the Wardhog sharpener and it works really quick.
Speaker 1: But so fifteen degree angle for high end specialty knives,
Speaker 1: so like your kitchen knives and stuff like that. That's
Speaker 1: why this makes a lot of sense. And really I
Speaker 1: should have put this out before because then you could
Speaker 1: have bought it for your entire family. But everybody gets
Speaker 1: and there's different angles. It goes from fifteen all the
Speaker 1: way up to thirty different angles, and you have replacement sharpeners, stones,
Speaker 1: different grit but it's got four adjustable angles, three hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five grit natural diamond hons when finishing steel
Speaker 1: metal frame construction, and then you can buy additional honing
Speaker 1: tools for this, so you can get it either two
Speaker 1: seventy at three twenty five, six hundred or one thousand
Speaker 1: grit and ceramic hones. That's huge for someone who goes
Speaker 1: out in the field and they just want you A
Speaker 1: sharp knife is everything when you're hunting, sharp knives or everything,
Speaker 1: and the V sharp is killer. It is amazing okay,
Speaker 1: and then that's going to run you. You know, I
Speaker 1: was saying like a ninety nine to one hundred and
Speaker 1: ten somewhere around in that range. But the V curve,
Speaker 1: it's called the V sharp curve, which is there almost
Speaker 1: Their small to go model is man, it's awesome, three
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty five grit diamond hones. It's ultra compact,
Speaker 1: easy to use, no adjustment. It's available in red, blue,
Speaker 1: and black. But it's small, so it's a twenty five
Speaker 1: degree angle. So this is great for your hunting knives
Speaker 1: and stuff. It's kind of an all around in the
Speaker 1: middle type of sharpener, but it's just as easy to
Speaker 1: use as a four and it's only sixty nine bucks.
Speaker 1: So I just throw it in my kit. You could
Speaker 1: throw it in the back of your backpack en roll
Speaker 1: with it. So that's the V Sharp from Wardhog and
Speaker 1: they're made here in the USA, which is awesome. Wardhog
Speaker 1: USA dot com go give them a look, all right?
Speaker 1: Where should I move on to next? So we've got
Speaker 1: the cutlery out of the way. Headlamp. I use this
Speaker 1: headlamp every day. I've got to find it up here
Speaker 1: there it is. I've talked about it before on the
Speaker 1: podcast A Peak duo or backcountry duo headlamp. Now, this
Speaker 1: is not inexpensive headlamp. This is ninety five bucks and
Speaker 1: everything's ninety five or one hundred bucks? Have you noticed that?
Speaker 1: Is that? Benjamin? Is there a conspiracy theory about products
Speaker 1: all being around one hundred bucks? Okay? Okay, Benjamin says
Speaker 1: it's true. So there's I mean, everything's like a hundred bucks.
Speaker 1: Oh what is that one hundred bucks? Anyway, it's about
Speaker 1: how much it costs me to fill up a tank
Speaker 1: of gas anymore. But it's rechargeable, which is great. It
Speaker 1: has a long, long battery life. But I use this.
Speaker 1: I use this almost every day. I use it for running,
Speaker 1: I use it for any any work I have to
Speaker 1: do around the house in the night. Keep it by
Speaker 1: the bedside. So this this has proven invaluable for me.
Speaker 1: The one complaint I have and Peak made it right. Peak,
Speaker 1: I hope is listening. But the one problem I had
Speaker 1: was the clasp on the flashlight that connects to the headband.
Speaker 1: It's plastic and I have broken one of the arms
Speaker 1: that holds it before and cracked another. You know, whether
Speaker 1: the headband goes slides in. I've cracked that and it
Speaker 1: just won't stay on. So that's plastic, I don't. I mean,
Speaker 1: you could add a little weight to it and maybe
Speaker 1: make it some type of aluminum housing or something. But
Speaker 1: that's the only complaint I have about this, other than
Speaker 1: that it's red light or a high high, high high lamp.
Speaker 1: What is it? It's a I want to find out
Speaker 1: how many lumens it is because lumens matter, right, Oh
Speaker 1: my gosh. Maximum output is one thousand lumens. So all
Speaker 1: you duck hunters, man, if you're not running one of these,
Speaker 1: you need to seriously think about it. But it's only
Speaker 1: two zero point sixty five ounces, so why not just
Speaker 1: and it's water resistant IPX six. I have no idea
Speaker 1: what that means, no idea. I'm sure somewhere out there
Speaker 1: one of our listeners is on it and they know it.
Speaker 1: The other thing that I've been running is a Stiletto
Speaker 1: Pro two flashlight. This is the new one from Surefire.
Speaker 1: Carry it with me every day. This is another one
Speaker 1: you always carry around a flashlight. Now this one throws
Speaker 1: a long distance. This is like, hey, I want to
Speaker 1: see who's over there? Like all right, yeah, Okay, yeah,
Speaker 1: I see them from about a mile away. This one
Speaker 1: thirty five thousand Candela long distance illuminations fifteen hundred lumins.
Speaker 1: So you got your hybrid performance here. So you're going
Speaker 1: you're going far, and you're going and wide. So I
Speaker 1: really like And you've got, you know, a small reading light,
Speaker 1: a small search light, if you will, So I really
Speaker 1: like that. And it's rechargeable. Hold, it's just telling me
Speaker 1: right now that it's almost out. So I need to
Speaker 1: get that sucker on charge now. If you've got someone
Speaker 1: who gave you a lot of money, that would be
Speaker 1: an option. Three hundred and seventy nine bucks on that,
Speaker 1: but worth it. All right. We're getting close, guys to
Speaker 1: finish with this, and I know you guys are probably like,
Speaker 1: oh man, he's given me too many options. Options are good.
Speaker 1: One option that I do want to talk about is
Speaker 1: the AMMO that I've used this year. So early season.
Speaker 1: We're sitting there hunting and my son shoots a deer.
Speaker 1: He feels like you had a good shot on it.
Speaker 1: I think he jerked the trigger a little bit and
Speaker 1: hit it a a little bit lower than expected. He
Speaker 1: didn't hit it in the ideal spot. And shot placement
Speaker 1: always matters. Always, shot placement over everything. Couldn't find the deer.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to bad mouth the six y five
Speaker 1: creed More. I'm not going to bad mouth the round
Speaker 1: that he was using. But I switched his round. I
Speaker 1: switched it to this nozzler whitetail country. Now this is
Speaker 1: a I mean, it's solid. I mean you're looking at
Speaker 1: fifty yards twenty three inches, or actually with the six
Speaker 1: y five crea more you're getting more than that. You're
Speaker 1: looking at thirty inches of jail penetration and it's holding
Speaker 1: its core. So this is a solid base, is what
Speaker 1: we're talking about here. So it's going to hold together.
Speaker 1: It's going to punch big holes in it, trust me,
Speaker 1: I've seen it. And then at four hundred yards you're
Speaker 1: getting thirty two inches of jail penetration. That's pretty dang impressive,
Speaker 1: especially for downrange performance. It's pretty nice. So my son
Speaker 1: in regular season, he shoots a deer and he says
Speaker 1: the same thing, I was shaken so bad. I shot
Speaker 1: he ran off. I don't, I just I don't. I
Speaker 1: think I missed him. And he walks over and I've
Speaker 1: already seen the dear dead right beside the track that
Speaker 1: I drive down to pick him up. Deer's dead, I
Speaker 1: mean dead, and it's been dead since he pulled the trigger.
Speaker 1: So he goes. I went over to where I shot him,
Speaker 1: didn't find any blood, and I was like, well, what's
Speaker 1: at your feet? And there was a pool of blood.
Speaker 1: I don't know, almost the size of this desk, I
Speaker 1: think in the recoil and him trying to get back
Speaker 1: on it. He just didn't see, but the deer had.
Speaker 1: I mean, we're talking about I'm tracking a deer with
Speaker 1: pools of blood from a six to five creed more.
Speaker 1: I don't get that a lot with some rounds, I
Speaker 1: just don't. And then my younger son he did the
Speaker 1: same thing. It's sprayed blood all over my feet for him,
Speaker 1: Like yeah, this stuff works. So I'm super excited about this.
Speaker 1: This is a new one from Nozzler, and they're they're good,
Speaker 1: good folks. They sent it. These are media samples that
Speaker 1: we got. These weren't even you know, they weren't something
Speaker 1: that I went out and bought. But I guarantee you
Speaker 1: that this is what my boys are going to start shooting.
Speaker 1: Because it's solid base, it holds together and man, it works,
Speaker 1: it performed. I was, I was super impressed with that stuff.
Speaker 1: All Right, where are we at next? Oh we're down?
Speaker 1: Oh almost too? Okay, so these are three products that
Speaker 1: the next three help me get through. All Right, You're like,
Speaker 1: that's just a cheap bluetooth speaker. You're dang right, it is.
Speaker 1: It's a cheap bluetooth speaker. Why do I have it
Speaker 1: up here? Because when I'm cleaning deer on the tailgate,
Speaker 1: I've started to get in this habit of like and
Speaker 1: it's kind of I don't want to say it's dexterish.
Speaker 1: Is dexterish a word? It can be like the show
Speaker 1: dexter It's kind of it seems a little psychotic, but
Speaker 1: it's it's kind of normal. I've started to listen to
Speaker 1: like the rack Pack while I clean deer. Is that
Speaker 1: is that weird? Is it just me? Yeah? Oh? Thanks?
Speaker 1: Benjamin says it makes sense. We need to get a
Speaker 1: mic for Benjamin. I enjoy I enjoy his banter when
Speaker 1: he's when he's doing it. But listen to any type
Speaker 1: of music you want. But it's real low, it's real soft,
Speaker 1: like I don't, I don't. I'm not out in the
Speaker 1: you know, annoying the neighbors or anything and disturbing. But
Speaker 1: I wanted just a little background music just to take
Speaker 1: my mind off of, like help me calm down from
Speaker 1: the hunt and stuff like that. And that's why I
Speaker 1: play the rat Pack because it's what I listen to
Speaker 1: with my son on the way to school every day
Speaker 1: when I'm taking him to school, Like that's it's kind
Speaker 1: of our thing, and it kind of it calms me.
Speaker 1: It gets me ready for the day. And so I've
Speaker 1: I tried it out a couple of times and I
Speaker 1: kind of dig it. I like it. It puts me
Speaker 1: at piece. But this is a treb Lab HD seventy seven,
Speaker 1: and I just keep it in the truck and it
Speaker 1: holds a great charge. It's sixty nine bucks. It's not
Speaker 1: one hundred bucks, but it's sixty nine bucks and it
Speaker 1: does the job. I kind of dig it. Next is
Speaker 1: fix it sticks. I keep them everywhere I go. This
Speaker 1: is the works it. It costs two one hundred and
Speaker 1: ninety six bucks, have three hundred bucks, but it has
Speaker 1: literally every tool you could use. And I throw in
Speaker 1: a couple extras for optics. You know, there's some adjustments
Speaker 1: on optics turrets that aren't all quite the same, like
Speaker 1: the little hex screws that you get to take your
Speaker 1: turt off to set it. So I've got a couple
Speaker 1: extra tools in there, which came with the optics themselves.
Speaker 1: But other than that, this sucker goes with me otherwhere.
Speaker 1: Fix it sticks dot com is We're gonna go find that,
Speaker 1: all right, last one, this is it. I'm done. Benjamin's
Speaker 1: tired of hearing me, hearing me talk. I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you right now. This has been my favorite thing that
Speaker 1: I've seen a ton of long range distance shooters use
Speaker 1: to display, to display their shots and to explain what's
Speaker 1: happening down range. And this is my experience with the
Speaker 1: trigger cam. This one is the most expensive thing. Well,
Speaker 1: no it's not. The bipod was the most expensive thing.
Speaker 1: But five hundred and sixty five bucks, it's what this
Speaker 1: thing costs. Now, this is gun talks. This isn't mine.
Speaker 1: When I have five hundred and seventy bucks, I will
Speaker 1: have one because I like it that much, because I
Speaker 1: want my own for my personal use. But I took
Speaker 1: it out to test out if it's a wide range
Speaker 1: of a wide range of optics, it does not come
Speaker 1: in this plastic case. I will tell you that it
Speaker 1: does not come in this plastic case. We found a
Speaker 1: plastic case lying around because that's what you do around here,
Speaker 1: you find find stuff. But this is what it is.
Speaker 1: It's a trigger cam. This is the easiest thing I've
Speaker 1: seen to display a shot and to see auretical and
Speaker 1: it's compact. This is and it works. It works. Benjamin
Speaker 1: am I lying. Yes, Okay, he said yes, But what
Speaker 1: he meant is yes, it does work. It's amazing. So
Speaker 1: if you want to see your shots, you want to
Speaker 1: replay your shots. I I recorded deer with this, my
Speaker 1: youngest son. I got to replay his shot. And I
Speaker 1: will tell you this, in low light conditions, this does
Speaker 1: not work. Great. This is not what you It is
Speaker 1: very different. It appears darker in very low light situations
Speaker 1: because the sun was just starting to peek up legal
Speaker 1: shooting light. And I'm going to tell you right now,
Speaker 1: when you look at my son's deer on this thing,
Speaker 1: it looks like he dang near shot him in dark
Speaker 1: like you can just you can just see a hint
Speaker 1: of light on the deer's vitals. So I will say
Speaker 1: that to me, was the only downside of this product,
Speaker 1: but it comes with a bunch of different sleeves to
Speaker 1: out fit your your optic and use it over multiple optics.
Speaker 1: But that has that has been my favorite by far.
Speaker 1: The trigger cam has been a highlight of this year.
Speaker 1: It's it's so indescript on your gun. It makes it
Speaker 1: look a little bit different, but it's so in descript
Speaker 1: on your gun. I forgot to get my shot on camera.
Speaker 1: I had it, but the deer ran in so fast.
Speaker 1: I was like, oh, I forgot I even had it
Speaker 1: on my gun. So so that was a mistake on
Speaker 1: my part. But these are gifts that I can tell
Speaker 1: you one hundred proceed valiantly and purchase. I love them.
Speaker 1: Like the trigger cam. I cannot wait to buy my
Speaker 1: own because I'll have it on every gun and the NRL.
Speaker 1: If you shoot long range, that's an absolute must because
Speaker 1: then you can see what's going on down range. You
Speaker 1: can see a little bit clear. When you magnetize magnify it,
Speaker 1: it magnifies like you're seeing everything. So have fun, guys.
Speaker 1: The New Year's coming up. The next episode, We've got
Speaker 1: a great one. You're not going to want to miss
Speaker 1: out on that because we're talking predator control, so we're
Speaker 1: talking trapping coyotes, so make sure you listen to that.
Speaker 1: All right, gun talk, hunters, you know the drill. Merry Christmas,
Speaker 1: but keep those Red Riders pointed in a safe direction
Speaker 1: and always be on the hunt.
