joe rogan podcast check it out the joe rogan experience train by day joe rogan
podcast by night
all day hello joe rogan what the fuck's happening everything how are you
enjoying my country i'm
loving your country yeah it was good um it's good to be back yeah you were here
uh you did another
one of those wild back country elk hunts which you haven't been able to do
because of covid
for three years four years four years yep wow and five years since the last
podcast did you document
the whole thing like you did the last time in your internet stories i did yeah
yeah i tried to capture
as much as i could sometimes it's hard because you're stuck in the moment so
the last thing you
want is like a phone in your face right it does with it right yeah so i couldn't
capture it all but i
tried to at least mention everything that i was going through but there was
like one stage i just
felt like i was in the war and i actually slipped between two fallen down trees
and it i nearly
broke my legs like straight across the front of my shins oh and it's like i
didn't capture it
and i'm sort of hurting so you don't get to see the whole story but i reckon i
at least give
the people 80 of the story you know what happened when you almost broke your
legs
well i was rooted for starters like stuff like this is day 26 or something like
that what does rooted mean
to your people you didn't know what it means right yeah really guessing rooted
means really exhausted
oh okay like just yeah you know right and uh i was coming back in the dark you
know you're trying to
you know um conserve everything because you're going so you're trying to use
your headlight as
less as possible as well like you're out there for a month right so a lot of
the times your headlight
yeah torches turn right down if it's on at all so it's turned right down and i'm
coming back down the
mountain to camp pretty much stepped on one bit of dead fall like a big fallen
pine tree and then
slipped off it and then there was another pine tree only like a foot apart so i
went between the two of
them and all my body weight come over the top of it oh and then yeah like i
just remember i like
least bruised the bones because it was hard to walk you know oh boy but it's
like at that point you are
you feel like the whole world's against you right really really tough trip like
and i i think a lot
of the over-the-counter guys went through that this year it was a really
difficult year for elp
was that because of the heavy snowfall was it so i think because of winter kill
for one and then
a lot of the other states are not doing any over the counter anymore so that
pushed more people into
colorado and then colorado shut down some units and limited units because of
the winter kill
so there was a lot of hunters jammed in the areas i think the bulls didn't come
down so i
think a combination of a lot of things colorado's just reintroduced wolves
which is just
it's such a shell game because when there's like stipulations to reintroduce
wolves like
ranel has talked about this before like they reintroduce wolves and then the
idea is when
the wolves get to be a certain population then they will allow hunting but then
the wildlife
protection groups come in and they sue to make sure that you don't open up wolf
hunting so then they
only can issue depredation permits to ranchers and p you know people don't like
the idea of hunting wolves
and i get that but you shouldn't also like the idea of rampant wolf populations
that are invading into
people's communities and eating their dogs and threatening children like the
reason why big bad
wolf and little red riding hood and all that there was a story because they
used to eat kids what was
happening yeah yeah they ate people for a long time until people got wise and
said you know we should
probably kill these things and that's what they did for the longest time and
then the greenies got in like
we need to bring the wolves back and it's generally people that have zero
experience with real wildlife
predators and there should be a balance you know there should be grizzly bears
it should be mountain
lions it's not like anybody wants to eradicate those things but reintroducing
wolves especially what they
do with montana they took those big ass canadian wolves and brought them down
yeah well like you know me i
like i do think there needs to be a balance and i think people hunters are part
of that balance as
well you know yeah um and i think a big part of that you know is keeping
everything in check you know so
if the if the elk population is too big then there should be more tags like it's
a really good system over
here in that sense in america and then if there's a winner kill like there just
has been in this last
season then yeah limit the tags and things like that so because i've been on a
few hunts now where
you don't feel comfortable shooting an elk because you're not seeing any so it's
just like
she i actually i actually don't want to shoot an elk here it doesn't feel right
doesn't seem like there's
enough elk here for me to be shooting them right and i experienced that in a
few areas this trip
and i remember um the last time i hunted so four years ago and kimmy my wife
actually said it to me
we i think we hunted for 14 days and we hadn't seen a bull elk and she she's
like even if one steps
up at this point i'm not shooting it because it doesn't feel right yeah you
know and it's true but
there could be lots of elk in that area another time of the year but hunting
season starts hunters go in
and sort of pushes them out so it's a little bit hard to say but yeah you don't
feel right
you know you want to shoot something that's in a good healthy population and
now considering the
fact that you are getting these over-the-counter tags how do you know what
units to pick you
you don't you're just guessing yeah yeah so are you going online and doing any
research yeah
lots of research yeah hunting full super handy and stuff like that talk to the
guys pretty
frequent before coming up to a trip and then sort of just leaning on the
hunting
community a little bit you know and you've got guys and this is what happened
this trip because
i'm starting from fresh again it's been four years the spots that i used to
hunt elk in
aren't like that anymore or they're limited entry now so and i didn't draw so i
am starting from the
you know from scratch from the draw board and then so i sort of leaned on the
hunting community a
little bit and i had a few guys reach out well i had actually a bunch of people
reach out which was
really nice and you know try this spot you know i hunted here last year you're
welcome to join me in
this camp so i had a lot of that which was really nice um but even those guys
don't know you know
like you you think you've got an animal figured out like think again you know
like and and that's i
think that's why i love bow hunting so much and it's so i've constantly got a
passion for it because
you never actually fully work it out like the as soon as you start thinking you've
got something
worked out you're like they'll change it up on you and that that happens to me
every year and just
about every species you know so you can go in there with as much knowledge as
you like and obviously
that helps but at the end of the day that's why it's so good so appealing well
you like a crazy hard
hunt but these are nuts the ones that you go on are really nuts like the one
that you did last four
years ago that you documented where you had that close encounter with a grizzly
bear and you had a bad
pistol yeah yeah that was a terrifying encounter yeah the video of you with
your gun pointed out
where you can clearly see that the rounds not chambered because it does it
literally doesn't fit
in there it wasn't a good situation no yeah it's it's i've sort of myself
because i i want to go to a
place where there's just elk running around everywhere and stuff like that but
because i've
done these hard hunts now it's like i can't go backwards like and i'm not i'm
not lining myself up
for a disastrous hunt but like i want it to be that tough you know like i don't
want to go in on the
first day and kill one the trip's done what would you do if you walked in you
saw a 350 bull in the
first day i'd still shoot it yeah i would you have to yeah well you should
never that's the old saying
right you should never pass up on a bull on the first day that you would kill i
don't agree with
that i know no i don't why is that because what do you what are you in it for
well you're in it
to kill a bull yeah but there's also luck yeah but you can't spit on luck yeah
i think like day 27
broke me on this last trip when i say broke me it just i just got to the point
where i was completely
satisfied so i still didn't stop hunting i was still going to hunt for the very
last day of season
which was you accepted your feet but i accepted it yeah and that's what i
actually went out there
for you know and i started thinking about i'm not really here to kill a bull
like that's what's
pushing me and getting me to that point but i'm here for the whole package
right and like like your time
poor right yeah like you don't have a lot of time and there's a lot of hunters
that don't have a lot of
time whereas i come over from australia and i'm just like i've got 30 days
right so you know and that's
why i don't want to kill on day one or day two i would like you said if
something stepped up i would
but it's not so much about the kill it's that whole package you know and a and
a big part of that
package is breaking my own self down and getting past that point you know and i
did i put a video
up and i was like i cried you know and it's just like and look that's hard to
show the people but i do
want to show the people that it's just not about the kill and it is hard and it's
not like all
there's an animal i stalked it i shot it i killed it i got the meat you know
right you're gone you're
going on like a vision quest yeah that's it yeah you're trying to find out
something about yourself
yeah i've got no interest in climbing mount everest and i've said this many
times before but if there's
a fucking animal at the top of it i'll do it i'll i'll do it you know and i'll
push myself to that limit
you know yeah i don't get the mount everest thing yeah i've been i've been
offered to go with people
multiple times like yeah you can have a good time up there yeah it doesn't look
like a lot of there's
the reason why there's no houses up there yeah there's like one selfie at the
top and then you're
coming back down yeah i mean i understand it it's people enjoy doing things
that are very difficult
to do and i fully support them doing it i just don't have any interest in it
yeah yeah yeah it's just
not not my thing yeah it doesn't float your boat no not at all and if i had 28
days to do what you do
i don't know if i'd do that because what but i guess what you're doing is i
mean you hunt so much
in australia and australia is so game rich because there's so many invasive
species in australia there's
deer everywhere there's stags everywhere you have so many pigs it's it's like
it's a great place to get
your meat oh 100 yeah it's fantastic place to think um there's 27 hundred
species in australia
and there's like one or two of them that actually need a tag and that's it and
then and and open
season on everything you know so there's we don't have to wait for september to
roll around to go and
get some meat or have a hunt or something like that which is nice it is it's it's
freaking awesome yeah but
we don't have the system that you have in america either which is and it's
crazy that australia
doesn't have it because these animals are a resource yeah and and they're not
then they're not treated as
a resource at the moment we've just fully labeled them as feral animals and
then it sort of just gives
everyone the right just to kill them in any way possible and that so they they're
chopper shooting
them well
