EP 269: 2023 Winter Epic Hunt Giveaway Results!

Anything to do with Western big game.

Welcome to the Epic Outdoors podcast, powered by Under Armour. This is Gen Z's. How are you, Gen Z? I'm doing good. How are you? Right on. I like it. Hey, everybody. Jason Carter and the entire Epic Outdoors crew. And I mean, when I say entire, I'm thinking we're not missing much. Men, women, and children. Who's the child? Oh, the Gen Z. Oh, and we got one back there. I like it. They're children. Did you guys sign a waiver? We're going to get you on camera. Do we do that here in Southern Utah? I guess you can't use their image or likeness thereof. I don't know. We'll blur you. Nod your head. Okay. So we're pretty excited right now. We've just had the Epic Outdoors membership drive contest conclude. We basically pulled all the winning tickets. We've got them right here. We've got a stack of them all on this pretty little piece of paper.

And we're going to give them a call and kind of have a little fun with them today. So we're pretty excited. You know, we take pride, Bronson, in picking the best of the best. I mean, these are hunts we'd want ourselves. Yeah, we've said it over and over, but it's true. Every one of us in here would die to have one of these hunts. Of course, we can't apply for them, but we pick outfitters that we know well that are going to produce and the caliber of animals in the units that they guide in or the hunts. If it's Canada or Alaska or something that is going to set yourself up for success. So, yeah, let's get on. Pretty awesome. Make some calls. Like I say, we've paid full price for these. When you win one of these, you're not getting a second-rate hunt. This is a big deal and super exciting. So, anyway, we've got everybody. Wyatt, you excited? I'm here, yeah. It's fun to make these calls.

You never know about Wyatt. He's here. Well, he's being honest. It's almost like we're keeping him from a tile project or something. That means he's ecstatic, right? Yes. He's ecstatic. Because most times when you come in the morning, you're like, morning, Wyatt.

And you always have to be the first one. Well, he does hit me first. He does. I will say, Wyatt's always like, morning. Either a Pop-Tart or Fruity Pebbles. If he's out of Pop-Tarts that morning, you don't want to ask how he's doing. No, it's not good. What are the rainbow-colored Rice Krispies called? Fruity Pebbles. Okay, that's what I thought. Is that what you like those? I haven't eaten those in a long time. Go to. Come on. They're amazing. Anyways. This is like a chicken coop. Wyatt's the hen that's got a little blood showing. Everybody's pecking on him. What does he do? Exactly, yeah. Jeez. Like a target painted on me today. Haven't even said a word. All right. Well, we're having a good time. Here we are. We're going to call the guy. Bronson's made mention. We should probably call the guys back east. And I think he's right. Just so we can. I don't know. Maybe they're home from work.

It's nighttime. It's dark in places like, well, I don't want to say the state. Because the guys are going to be on edge. But by the time they. Let's watch the. We'll say Minnesota. Okay. All right. Let's call the guy from Minnesota. He drew the Acoma New Mexico elk hunt. Let's just give him a holler. And see what he has to say. Let him know he's want to hunt. We're sorry. You have reached a number that has been disconnected. I thought it was an elk bugle. It's actually. Okay. Hold on now. We don't have to edit that. I actually typed that in wrong. Jeez. Could you imagine. Could you imagine. We called. Fat fingering over there. Called some gal that's trying to make dinner or something. Hey. Is little Scotty there? You guys are hunters? Jeez. We don't believe in hunting. All right. This is the Humane Society of Minnesota. I got it. I got it right this time.

And I'm my own second check right here. So. All right. We got it. This will be Scott. He'll answer. Wyatt. Keep an eye on him. Wyatt. Never know.

Waiting for a weird sound effect. Pick up. Come on, guy.

You've reached the voicemail of Scott DeWitts. I'm unable to come to the phone right now. But if you leave your name, number, and time of call. It's all right. We'll be back as soon as possible. Have a great day. Thank you.

Scott. Hey. Jason Carter and the entire Epic Outdoors crew. We're in the podcast room. We just wanted to give you a call. Kind of visit with you a little bit about maybe. Maybe a hunt. So. That's for 2023. Yeah. So give us a holler. You've got my number. Don't want to say it out loud on the podcast, I guess. All right. Give us a holler. Talk to you later. Bye. We did that before, didn't we? Or three. He got halfway through it. I thought maybe that wasn't a good idea. Five, nine, three. All right. So I'm going to put it down here. LM. Do you know what that means, Gen Z? Left message. Oh. He's going to speak here. No. He always has to speak. You have me take my headset all the way off and then ask me to speak, huh?

Okay. I'm going to type in this contact so when he calls back, we know who it is. You know what I mean? Don't. We need to coach, guys. There are certain times of year when you do answer your phone. And you can always hang up. And Utah numbers are never spam. That's true. Well, we should. I think we already talked about that this afternoon. Adam had two coming from the hometown. Two from Wyatt's hometown today that I wondered if his wife was trying to call or something. Or not his wife, his mom trying to call us and make sure he was at work. I didn't know what was going on, but I let it ring and they didn't leave a message. And then I Googled it and it was a spam robo. Huh. Was it? From Nephi. They called you twice? Once yesterday and once today. Different numbers, both from Nephi, though. Okay. We're going to call the Nevada deer guy. Sneaky folks. Does that sound good? Yeah. Nevada deer.

This guy's from Nebraska. Wyatt, do a second check. I can't see your screen there. Worse thing in the world would be. Oh, yeah. Give away a... He blames Jenna every time. She got me a private screen. I wouldn't have done it.

I don't know. I think it was the only option.

I can't hear her. That's amazing. I can't hear her.

I like it.

I like it. We can say whatever we want, Bronson. Just get the right number. Okay. Okay. Here we go. Let's give away a Nevada deer hunt. Let's do it, Bronson.

Hello? Is this James? Yeah. James, it's Jason Carter, Adam Bronson, the entire Epic Outdoors crew here in the podcast room. How are you? Yeah. Good. Good. Good. How's Nebraska this season? It's cold. Hey, it's pretty nice. Is it really? It's 45 degrees. It's pretty nice. That's balmy. Yeah. That's good. Hey, do you have any idea why we might be calling you? I'm too scared to say it. Well, go ahead. It's true. Yeah. Are you serious? There's only one reason we'd be calling you on Thursday night at, you know? Yeah. Wintertime and first of March. Okay. Well, you won a Nevada deer hunt with Greg Krog, Muggy on Rim Outfitters, includes the landowner tag for Unit 231. You're the winner. Oh, my God. That's unbelievable.

Well, congratulations. It's true. Well, thank you. That's unbelievable. Well, we appreciate you and your support of Epic Outdoors. And so, yeah, it's one of the best hunts a guy can get, you know, for mule deer with guaranteed tag. You're going this year, choice of season, archery, muzzle, or rifle. We've given away a couple. The archery. Is that what you're doing, archery? Yep. Oh, I like it. Good choice. First choice. First crack. Yep. Yep. Oh, yeah. Greg has taken a couple of our winners, and he just loves them. Like, he loves the guys that win the hunts. Of course, it's not a lot of pressure, you know. It's a free hunt. And so, anyway, it'll just be an incredible experience with him and his team. They're some of the best that Nevada has. And so, anyway, we're proud to give it away, and we're glad you won it. Wow. Thank you so much. What do I do next?

Well, probably tomorrow we'll shoot you an email, put you two in touch together through the email and let you guys just start making plans, but, yeah. Hey, that is so awesome. Yeah. We'll get a landowner tag out to you as well. It's a voucher, and you'll turn it into the state, and then, you know, they'll basically issue you a valid tag for mule deer in 231. And then. For now, though, you want to put August 10th on your calendar. That's opening day. Oh, really? Unless you can go tell later. It's a 30-day long season, but, what, August 10th through September 9th. Yep. Wow. That's the dates. But you can work that out, Greg, but. It's a seven-day span. Never been to Nevada. Yeah, it'll be a guided hunt for seven days, so. Sweet. You'll probably fall in love with Nevada. It's a beautiful state. Lots of flowing water. Well, there is this year. This year. Who knows? There might still be runoff.

It's an incredible year to have a tag out there. You know, it's a state that's very susceptible to moisture, and when they get it, they have big deer. So, anyway, that's. Yeah, and they're getting some moisture now. It's pretty incredible. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Nice. Good as we've seen in a long time, so. Well, that's awesome. Welcome. If you decide to sell it, why, Adam might want it. I don't know. I don't plan on doing that. We're just teasing. We're just teasing. Yeah. Yeah. Anyway. Pretty awesome. Thanks, guys. You bet. Yeah. It's very awesome. Congratulations, and, yeah, we'll be in touch tomorrow through an email. Okay. But thanks again for your support. Thank you. All right. Sure appreciate it, Jim. Bye. You bet. You bet. Talk to you later. Bye. Bye. Bye.

Pretty awesome.

I need to. I need to put him in my contacts here.

Might already be green up over there a week ago in Nevada, huh, Josh? Yeah. There's no green up anywhere.

There's not, Josh. I don't care what you're saying. Your trip home, there is no green up. I saw some yesterday, so. Well. Where? Come on. Where? Oh, down south. Well, yeah. Yeah. Between here and Josh's house. I'm not on Josh's route. Josh came back and said, yeah, I saw some green up. We've got two cities in the state of Utah. That was just some car oil shining off. Green. Green. Green. Green. Tensile for Christmas. And the southern Utah. The Randolph version of southern Utah is Panguitch. So you've got Randolph and Panguitch. Basically, Antarctica. That's right. AKA. I didn't say it was green over there. And this was probably three weeks ago. Not March. This was about February 5th through the 10th that the statement was made. Live. It was a wreath that threw out of somebody's truck. Somebody lost, you know. Christmas decorations.

Christmas decorations that were plastic wreaths, you know, that were permanently green. It was green and I'm sticking to it.

We're going on a field trip. All right, Josh. You're up. Sound good? Let's do the optics package. It'll be a guy by the name of Nick. Wisconsin for optics. Thanks.

Yeah. I just had a guy try us back. What's Nick's last name, Jason? I just had a guy try us back for the Akamai elk. Yeah, call him. All right. Stop it. Yeah. Here we are. New Mexico elk. Let's give away a hunt.

Hello. Hey, is this Scott? This is Scott. Scott. Jason Carter and Adam Bronson, the entire Epic Outdoors crew. How are you? I'm doing fantastic, Jason. Really?

What's so great about today? Tell us about it. How was dinner? Was dinner good? Dinner was good. Dinner was really good. Nice. Hey, we're just calling you. Of course, we've run our membership drive here at Epic Outdoors and you won. I don't know if you remember which hunts you applied for. Do you remember? A bunch of them. Okay. Right on. Ben, that doesn't narrow it down at all. I jumped at every one of my guns. Okay. All right. Well, you are the winner for the New Mexico elk hunt on the Acoma Reservation for five days. Awesome. September 25th to the 29th this year. You won that. That is awesome. So, pretty awesome. We're super excited for you. What a great year it's going to be in New Mexico with all the moisture they've gotten. Yes, it is. Anyway. Yep. Do you remember applying for that one? Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Right on. Okay. Cool. Well, sounds good. Yeah.

So, we're super excited for you. We'll send you out an email. It'll be tomorrow. Give you the details. And our contact there, he's a super good guy. He's the main bio for the area. So, anyway, just a great opportunity for you. And we have a great relationship with them. And it's a hunt that we book each year with them. And so, anyway, they'll treat you right. But we're way excited for you. Awesome, guys. Love it. Love it. Okay. Well, have a good rest of the night. All right. You too. Thanks. All right. Bye, guys. Thanks for your support. You betcha. Bye. All right. Two for two. Pretty fun. All right. Who's up? Josh, you going to do this one? Sure. Optics. Optics. Is that what we're at? Optics of gear. Gun. Weapon package, gear, everything. Yes. It's probably not even legal in Wisconsin. What's not legal? Everything's legal there. Too close to the Canadian border.

We don't care about what's legal there.

Yeah. All right. Here we go. Start to talk about trail cameras right now.

It's Nick.

Hello, it's Nick. Hey, Nick, this is Josh Pollock with Epic Outdoors. How are you? Not too bad, Josh. How are you doing? Doing good. Myself and Jason Carter, Adam Bronson, everybody with the Epic Outdoors crews here on the podcast with you today. Oh, no, you gotta be kidding me. Yeah, we're really here. This is like the best phone call to ever get. Really? We were just wondering if you wanted more tickets. Absolutely, I'll take more. I'm hoping maybe I don't even need more though. Probably don't. Not this time. I know you guys in Wisconsin like to go into black boxes and hide for a month or whatever you do there. That's right, yep. I'm glad you came out to answer this phone call. You won. Well, I don't know. Do you want to take a guess? Did you win anything in particular? I honestly couldn't tell you because I sprinkled them in everything. Okay.

All right, well, we have you as winning the optics and weapon package. You're kidding me! That's awesome! Oh, yeah. Read it off there. So, you're going to be getting a Swarovski 95 spotting scope with an objective, or excuse me, that's the objective in an ATX or STX eyepiece. You're going to get a Vortex Fury 5000 range-finding binocular, Leica 3500.com rangefinder, Zeiss Conquest V4 6-24x50 rifle scope. Probably need something to put that on, so we'll throw in a fierce twisted rival choice of your caliber. And then a Hoyt RX-7 bow. Wow. Oh my goodness, guys. It's like the most incredible gear package we've ever given out, ever. This is pretty awesome. Absolutely. Do you need some of that stuff, or time to upgrade, I guess? I absolutely I absolutely could use some of that stuff. I know you probably tell your wife that stuff

only costs 200 bucks, but it's a little more than that. Yeah, we won't let her listen to the podcast. Never let the wife listen to the podcast. Never. Nope, that's right. Except for my wife, she edits it. Not fair. Not fair. Good stuff. Very cool, guys. This is awesome. Well, we made sure you a quick email tomorrow. We'll give you a call. Actually, we'll get the details on the gun. We've got a lot of the other optics in stock, so we can get those shipped right out to you. But we'll need to get some measurements and stuff from you for the bow, you know, draw, weight, length, stuff like that that you're going to want. So, we'll give you a call tomorrow on that and the rifle. But yeah, congratulations, and thanks for supporting our membership drive. Absolutely. Thank you very much, guys. You bet. Thanks, Nick. Have a good night. Hey, you too, buddy. Talk to you later. Yep. Bye-bye.

Alright, bye. Love that. So good. What are you doing here? S-E-G-B-R-E-C-H-T. Where are we at? Tejas? Should we go to Tejas? Texas? Yeah. Do it. It's probably an hour out. I gotta save these contacts while I got them right here. The rest of them are in the center. Out west. Yeah, they're even further. Call the white. The white one? Yep. Kind of fun. The Lone Star State. We should have one of the girls like tee it up maybe. Who is this? I just wondered if you want your membership on Auto Renew or not. Just seeing if you really want to apply in Montana or not. I don't know. Just something. Hey, did you, I didn't hear back from you on your weapon preferences for New Mexico. He's a monster in New Mexico. Do you still want to use a muzzleloader? Wyatt, do you want to do this one, or Devin? Wyatt? Go ahead, Wyatt. He knows me. Well, he may not be.

Oh, there you go. This will be good then. Huh? You want to do it? He wouldn't suspect it. Or Devin? No. Take it away, Wyatt. Devin, you've got to pick something, too. This will be a good one. Okay, we're talking Utah Mule Deer. Where's that one at? Okay, good. Don't start reading another hunt off to him. Never know. Hello? Hey, Chad, it's Wyatt with Epic. How are you? Hey, man, good. How are you doing? Good, good. Hey, our membership drive just ended. You calling me with good news? Well, I might be. We don't call with bad news. Man! Holy moly. I'm not on the applications. I don't know. Yeah, you might. That's a blackout date. We better make September 1 through 5 a blackout date on your applications for this upcoming year. Wow, what does that mean? I don't even know what that is. You won the Utah Mule Deer hunt. Holy cow! The one with bucks and bulls?

Yes. That's it. Pretty incredible hunt. You're kidding me. No. My gosh, that's incredible, man. That's awesome. Well, no good chance for a big velvet mule deer here in Utah. Wow. And I can drag a bow for a couple days and then give up and shoot him with a rifle, right? Yeah, we're 10 minutes. You're going to say, start with a rifle. I guess I'll talk to him. I'd start with a rifle. I'm getting kind of old and my eyesight's not very good, so I'm not very good with my bow. Okay. You answered your own question. Don't mess around for two days.

No. Just kill him when you see him. Okay, that sounds like a plan. Wow. Pretty awesome. That's so cool, guys. Man, that's awesome. Pretty awesome. And I almost didn't enter, so, man, tell everybody they need to enter. Okay. Well, you just did. Like, I never win anything. My son wins everything. Well, you won this one, buddy. So, anyway, Utah Mule Deer Hunt with one of the best. It's a world-class hunt. Very expensive hunt, guaranteed tag, September 1st with a rifle. So, this year, you're going, and we'll drop you an email tomorrow with all the details, okay? Holy moly. Guys, that's awesome. Thank y'all. Very awesome. You betcha. Thanks, Chad.

Okay, just make sure the spelling's right. Let's see.

Maybe this one. Which one's that? Do you want to do that one? Yeah, I'll do that one. He's probably gonna get the ball rolling. We called him a year ago, about today. Hey, we just called you on the anniversary. It was last year? Yeah. So, tee it up. Tell the world what we're about to do. We're gonna call Jim here. Which one did he win? Bonus. Yeah, the bonus. The bonus. Credit for any hunt of his choice. 10k, right? It just so happens that he had won once before. This is like the only, is it the first guy that we've ever had win twice? Yeah. First guy. Since I've been here, the only two-time winner. Yeah. That I remember, yeah. So, here we go. Don't really need anything else other than- $10,000 for credit toward a hunt of his choice with an Epic Outdoors outfitter. Yep. Maybe ask him how his last hunt went. Yeah, we'll do that. Okay, Arch, it's all yours.

Hopefully he picks up. He's got this number saved now. Yeah, that's true. If you start 6-7, they won't answer.

Probably shoveling snow. Not even five o'clock in Utah. Sorry, I missed your call. Please leave me a message, and I'll get back to you as soon as I'm able to thank you. At the tone, please record your message. When you've finished recording, you may hang up or press one for more options. Jim, hey, Jason Carter, Adam Bronson, the entire Epic Outdoors crew here in southern Utah. Just wanted to visit with you for a minute. You're probably out shoveling snow, so I hope things are going well up there, but give us a call when you can. Talk to you later. Bye. I better save his number. He's probably in there. No, he's probably in there. No, really? I don't know. How's that possible? I don't know. Just the guy. Saves numbers here and there. Okay, bonus. Put a little note there. What are we on to now? Okay.

At the tone, please record your message. When you've finished recording, you may hang up or press one for more options. Hey Mark, Jason Carter, Adam Bronson, the entire Epic Outdoors crew just calling you from Southern Utah here. We're in Utah here. Hope things are going well up there in Casper. Give us a holler when you can. We want to talk to you. Alright, you got our number. Talk to you later. Bye. Let's do this guy, I guess. Okay. Get in the mountain time zone. Which one? It is almost five o'clock. It's five o'clock somewhere. This is the big one. Ooh, yeah. Browns 24, right? 2024. You got it? Teed? 24. I don't want to freak him out too bad. You know his name? Gotta make sure you're ready. Ducks are in a row.

Four months. P90X, here we go. Giving away a duck hunt for a stone sheep winner, I don't know. Gotta make sure you got everything. You're gonna hate the next 90 days. Hello. Hello. Hey, is this Ben? It is, yeah. Hey, this is Adam Bronson, Jason Carter and the whole Epic Outdoors crew, how are you doing this evening? Oh, I think I'm doing a lot better than I was. Really? Why would that be? We were just calling, and we know Northern Utah has been crushed with snow and wonder how bad it is in Cache Valley. I hope you're calling me about my vehicle warranty. Well, that was the second question, but first things first, are you doing alright? Are your family safe with all the snow and all that? Yeah, we're managing.

Okay. Well, the real reason we're calling is we did have our membership drive draw just a minute ago, and you won the granddaddy, the Yukon stone sheep hunt for 2024 with Jarrett DeWing. How's that sound? Oh my gosh, that just made my year. Wow. Well, hopefully, yeah, it should. It might be more like a year and a half. Well, however long it takes. Yeah, well... That's awesome. You've got until August of 2024 to wrap your head around that, and you know... Oh my gosh. Yeah, well, it happened. Appreciate your support, and yeah, I don't know, have you hunted sheep before? Any other sheep? I have, yeah. I actually guide for dolls in Alaska. Gotcha. And I went on a doll hunt in the Yukon two years ago. Gotcha. There you go. Well, you're heading back. Alright, just time for a little different color. I actually talked to Jared at the Hunt Expo in Salt Lake just a few weeks ago.

Well, this is pretty teed up pretty good for you then. Awesome. We'll send an email to you tomorrow, CC him, and just kind of introduce yourself through the email. Like I said, you got a little over a year, year and a half roughly to plan for that one, but we've paid for that for you. There's a few minor details that have to work out, you know, getting yourself there. But hey, the tough part's over for you, other than just staying in shape, I guess. Oh my gosh. If you guys don't know, I was actually watching a video recap of your drawings from other years today, and I was just thinking, what would I say? Who does that? You didn't give me enough time to prepare. Wow. Well, hey, that's good karma. I don't know who else. I don't have anybody tell me they watch those for fun, just kind of on the draw day. Watching somebody else be successful seems anticlimactic.

Hey, you're gonna see yourself on the next one we put out on YouTube. Oh my gosh, awesome. Well, thank you. Well, you bet, Ben. Thank you so much. Yeah, it's pretty awesome. We appreciate you and your support here at Epic. We sure appreciate that. Well, yeah, thanks for putting it on. I put in for quite a few raffles and drawings every year. You know, there's always a chance, and this is why. This is why. It's one ticket right there. It paid off. It paid off. Well, congratulations, and you bet. Thanks, guys. We'll send you an email tomorrow. Okay, thanks, guys. Appreciate it. You bet, Ben. You bet. Bye. Get it. Get it. Oh, sorry. Let's get Sean on the podcast. Hey, you're on. Hey, you're going hunting. Sean. What up? What up? Nothing much. What are you doing? Well, you're on the Epic Outdoors podcast, Sean. Hi, Sean. Hey. Just come change a light bulb.

What are you guys podcasting on today? We're calling the winners, but Jason thought you were broke down somewhere, so we better take your call. I sent you a voicemail once, and then I'm finally like, geez, I better answer this. It's important. Oh, no, I was calling to tell you about the dog. Oh, okay. Bad news? He's getting a dog. Oh, good news. Okay. Anybody out there have any ideas for shed dogs? Sean wants them. Is it a hound? That's right. Sean wants a shed dog. Bad. Okay, just don't get a hound, probably. You got two months to get it trained up.

I know. I know. What else, Sean? Are you doing alright? Yep. Got any hunting plans this year? Just say yes. Yes, you got a lot of plans. Yeah. Trust me. Trust me, buddy. You got a lot of plans. Probably ought to go back to work. Alright. Alright, guy. Appreciate you. Talk soon. Have a good one. Alright. See you, bye. That's a hunting fanatic right there. Alright. What'd he get? What do we got next? What breed? He's looking.

Right now, he's right in the middle. I thought he'd got it. And the thing about Sean, he's such an animal lover. I mean, the first cool, cute dog. First one that bats his eyes. Dude. It could be a poodle. He might want it. And I said, Sean, it's a 10 to 15 year plus commitment. Like, this is part of the family. Like, this is no joke. Don't just pick up the first little stray that comes along. That's what I did with my shed dog. What? Pick the first one? Gather him up on the reservation? Yeah, I was on the reservation. I haven't heard this story. His name was Chief. Okay, well, let's go down this road. Go ahead, Arch. I trained him. He didn't know what a ball was. But if I said find a bone, he knew exactly. No kidding. Yeah, he found sheds. No kidding. Yeah. What kind of dog was it? You don't know. He had some... Let's call it a coyote.

He might have a little coyote. Plucked him out of a pile. Let's call it a res dog. Yeah. Best dog I ever had. Was it? Yeah. Wow. Geez. Anyways. Didn't mean to bring up a sore subject. It's all good. Yeah. Probably saw some stuff in his day. Special place in heaven for a good dog, that's for sure. Okay, here we go. All right, Bronson, let's give away this mountain goat hunt. What do you think? Yeah. Let's talk. We already gave it away, he just doesn't know it yet. That's right. Who's on? Who's on? John. I can do it. Goat. Mountain goat right there. I'm gonna hit send. That's with Greg. This year, right? October 23. Greg of Nevada. Dillinger River Outfitters. Pink. Super good hunt. Really good hunt. Awesome opportunity right here.

Hi, this is Greg. I can't get to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, I'll call you back as soon as I can. I think you did screen us. I think we should call him right back. At the town. Just hang up and hit it. Yeah. I'll do what you guys say. The robo calls don't do that. They don't. We need you now. Run to the phone, Greg.

Hi, this is Greg. He screened us twice. He's in the bathroom. They're pretty strict about it. He might walk you. Thank you. Might, when you're driving. Better leave a message. At the tone, please record your message. No. When you have finished recording, you may hang up or press one for more options. Greg, hey, Jason Carter, Adam Bronson, the entire Epic Outdoors crew coming at you from Southern Utah. Hope things are going well over there in Nevada. You've won a hunt. We just want to talk to you. Give us a holler. Talk to you later. Bye. Let's see how fast you've been on the national podcast. Let's try a couple of times back. You say you talk on the phone all the time in Nevada. You might get a ticket in the mail. They got to prove it. I had to go to the courthouse. Happened to me. You just heard it out of your lips. Day and time.

I would say anytime they ping my phone in Nevada, it's probably driving. That's pretty easy to do. They ping your phone. They look at your phone records. I don't think pinging your phone is fair. I don't know that you're on pavement that much in Nevada either. That's a good point, John. I love John. You know what I like about John? He always makes you feel better about doing bad stuff. Is the law that if you're on a two-track? I don't know the law. I know it's talking on a phone. Let's just say, if you were parked at the laundromat in Ely, and went like that to hear the voicemail, you could get a ticket. Trust me. Really? If you're parked? Did you get one? Yes. The first thing he said was, you hunt an elk? I was like, I was. Where are you, a guy? I'm like, yeah.

Alright, give me your license registration. I'd go to the Quare House, pay a bill. True story. Were you idling or driving? I was slowly entering a parking stall at the laundromat. Archibald has the most crazy things happen to him. Archibald, about an hour and three minutes ago, what happened to you? Well, I was talking to you guys. This guy's unbelievable. Got a little snacky, bit into a Kit Kat, and it didn't taste normal. It had no wafer in it. Pure chocolate, like a Hershey's bar. I'm like, he's lying. Nobody believes me. Nobody believes me. Oh, 100% chocolate. Well, broke off the other piece and broke it in half. Yeah. So, I went in and ate the rest of the bag trying to find another one. These guys all ran in there and ate them all.

And they were all wafers. How many Kit Kats have you had in your whole life and never have had one without a wafer? I told him that's an omen. Could have been worse. Who knows what's in those things? Arizona Draw something, that's an omen. That's a one in. I hope so. Willy Wonka's. Willy Wonka would have given you a million bucks for that. Golden ticket. So, anyway. I tried to tease him. I told him I watched the Super Bowl commercial and said if any, you know, it was a pure solid Kit Kat chocolates were a million bucks, and he didn't buy it. No. So, we tried somebody back? Yeah. Who,

Pick a small. Go with the Utah guy. Which one? Yeah, him. Is that the Nevada elk? The bonus, and then this guy's in Wyoming. They want to talk to us. Well, I think they do. I'm always a positive thinker. Who's doing this one? Devin. Devin. Which one is it? The bonus. Jim. Yeah, we need to get the ball rolling on this one. If we tried two times, we could give it away to the next guy. That's why we draw an alternate. Just teasing. Just teasing. Everybody, just teasing.

Sorry, I missed your call. Just like when we take pictures with the Biden hat, we're just teasing. Do we have to clarify that? We kind of did. Yeah, but we lost some followers. What happened with that? He said we lost followers. He's got to put on his headset. I love it when he just can't fire back, He's going to fire back, and we can just kind of have him. I'm beginning to think he did that on purpose at the beginning of this thing. Alright, so tell us about how we lost some followers. Well, Josh decided... Prove it. Prove it. Well, Josh... An unnamed Epic employee that also has access to the Instagram posted a picture with a beaver in a Biden hat. And that was the first day we have lost followers in like two months. And it kind of made me proud. You know, at least people are standing for something, but they're not reading. Like, we're just joking.

And if you're that big of a snowflake, maybe we don't need you anyway. Josh! Geez! I second that, Josh. Totally with you. Hey, Janet is in the room. We can't just say, oh, there's nothing to edit today. She's listening. Oh, that's true. Sorry. She gave the edit sign. She's giving the... Just like every time I leave the room, Janet. We're going to be looking at that. Janet, we're good. You can trust me. Gen Z, write down 33.

39, I got it. Is that where we're at? Yeah. Was that a Valentine's Day post? What was that post? President's Day. Oh, that's right. For our illustrious president. I forgot. Yeah. Alright. Tell me who. Tell me who. We only have this other guy. The yellow one. We're gonna have to call it a night. That's the Nevada elk. Alright. We haven't talked to him either. Those three. Some of these I haven't saved. I didn't save one of them. Let's see. That one. Did pretty good. Five out of eight. It's not bad. We've had a lot worse.

I would like leaning on the table, but it's not good for video. No. Yeah. I want John to lean a little more. Block the camera.

This is Mark Esau. I'm not by my phone right now, but if you'll leave your name, number, and a short message, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. We already left a message. Thanks. Off he goes. Well, that's all the fun, for now. Sit here and call these guys all night. Yeah. You guys, we've got to stay till midnight until somebody answers. I mean, who's getting pizza? Just teasing. Just teasing. Usually, Jana does that. Just teasing. Hey, Hoby. Nevada, Nevada Elk with Hoby. Do you want me to do it? John? I can do it. I got it. You need his name. Yeah, Lark.

Hello? Hey, is this Mark? Yes, it is. Hey, Mark, John Peterson, Adam, Jason, and the whole Epic Outdoors crew here giving you a call. Okay. Okay. So, we just had our membership drive, and do you have any tickets in? Yeah, I pulled the hunt, yes I did, uh huh. Alright, how do you feel about hunting big elk? I love it. Did I win, I think it was Nevada or Arizona, Nevada or New Mexico? Which one? Nevada elk. You won it. You won it. Oh man, I can't believe it. You won the Nevada elk hunt, Unit 076-081 with a landowner tag with Deadline Outfitters. Northeast of Nevada. Fantastic. So, just an incredible opportunity up there. It's a six-day fully guided hunt, and then you get to choose archery, muzzle, or rifle.

It'd be the rifle. Okay, well, what we'll do is we'll send you an email tomorrow, put you in touch with Hobie, the owner of Deadline Outfitters, but we're gonna pay for all that. We'll get you a landowner voucher when the time comes. You can redeem that with the state for the actual permit, but you and him can make your Plans for the day you're going to go hunt, but yeah, you got a great hunting store. Oh man, unbelievable. I wish you could see the smile on his face. Hey, we're on speakerphone, I like it. I can't hear the smile, but I imagine it's there. I mean, it is the biggest smile I've about ever seen. Well, hey, well, you probably already had a happy husband, but you have a happier one now for how you've seen.

I'm a good one now for however long this takes. He's very happy. Sounds like you got good home support there, Mark. Yeah, I do. Well, for some background, this is a $22,000 hunt. Yeah. Oh, my word. Yeah, this is no joke. Great hunt, great chance to kill a big bull. We've had many members draw this over the last, what, few years. They've killed some great bulls. So, you got a good one in store, and good timing. You probably haven't had to play for a lot of your hunts up there yet in your home state as a resident, so you can plan around this knowing you're going to Nevada. Yeah, fantastic. I still can't believe it, but fantastic. Thank you. Thank you so much. I'm starting to hear the smile. I like it. All right, Mark. We sure appreciate your support of us here at Epic Outdoors, and what a world-class hunt. We're excited for you. All right, fantastic. Thank you, guys.

You bet. Have a great evening. Be in touch soon. You too. Bye-bye. Bye. I like it. Let's try to get one more. Call that guy. We didn't call him for 20 minutes. We skipped him the second go around. Bronson, what's his name? That's Jim.

Okay, sounds good.
