Thanksgiving Eve

and sometimes get misled, these gay-hearted hunters, these guys dressed in red.

Now you can find them up over and you don't have to look far in the stores or cafes

or drinking at the bar. Their talk is of hunting before going to bed.

These gay-hearted hunters, these guys dressed in red.

Now when the season is open to the timber, they go all open and prayin'.

For a life fall of snow, for it makes good trekking and it may bring them luck

to go home successful with a very nice buck.

But we all can't be lucky, for this we all know

regardless of the weather. It may rain or may snow, but lucky or not

this is what I've heard said. They'll be back here next season.

These guys dressed in red.

There we go, just like that, another addition of the deer hunters round up begins.

The dog days of the round up, the middle of the week, this is where the

crubidores and everybody get tested.

It is Wednesday, my dudes.

It is Wednesday, we are in the heart, I believe day four.

Yeah, this should be day four.

Of seven days of the deer hunters round up. Joel here, Gray is here.

Special guest sausage from the FPH Country Club.

That's right. Good to see you.

Good to see you, happy to be back.

He even brought us some from the nice coosies in here. What's the story and all that?

Yeah, that's from our gravel grinder bike race down in Sponsor by Ken and

Kataba Lions Club outside of Kataba.

We have that each year, the third week of August.

Okay, we'll give you a more plug than that. Cool.

A little bit later, we get a while here.

So your phone calls at 715-744-106.

You can email us, WCUM at civicmedia.us.

Pulling that up right now.

All right. Most of the photos that came in, we have already pulled off

and are rotating in the upper right part of the screen.

I think we've got close to 60.

Somebody ratted you up sausage to send us a photo of your,

I was at Buck during the bow season that you got?

Oh, that was a good rat out, yeah.

Yeah, I believe it was the teasers that gave us that photo.

Yeah, yeah. How nice. What was that you got there during the bow season?

Well, it's the biggest bow deer I ever got.

Yeah, I'm pretty happy there.

And first bow deer I ever shot while it was moving.

So, yeah, I'm pretty happy with that one.

Yeah, very cool. How big was it?

That's seven pointer. Nice. Nice.

All right. Good to have everybody with on the YouTube channel.

You can see myself in gray.

And the elusive gray is going to lean over there a little bit.

Maybe we should give them a little more, a little more love.

There we go. All right.

Okay, that's good. All right.

You're younger myself again. That's good.

You're younger and a lot better looking than me.

So, you should be on there. Let's go right to the phone lines.

You're on the roundup. Who's this?

This is Rob from the Nelson Cairn.

Always first up, Rob from the Nelson Camping.

And I get my sound effects up here.

I'm a little bit late and getting everything up here.

How are things in the shawamegan forest today there, Rob?

A little cold.

A little bit cold. Hang on. I got my applause finally.

There we go. All right.

What do we have a high like 18 or 19 today out there?

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It wasn't very warm.

Yeah. Yeah. It makes you want to fire up that roaster

and get that turkey going right away, right?

Yeah. Yeah. We're going to get her all taken care of,

get some stuff put together on it and put her in the roaster

and get her ready to go for tomorrow morning.

We got the stuffing made already and Ricky made cranberries

and green bean casserole today.

So that's all ready to go on the oven, too.

So is the crowd for dinner tomorrow a little lighter

with the temperatures being a little colder?

Or did they still show up for you?

They'll still show up, but it's a little lighter anyway

because some of the family are going to some of their

extended family this year or so.

Okay. All right. Very good.

But any deer, any deer out there? What do you got?

No deer. My brother Billy,

your favorite thing there saw a little biker yesterday.

It's just a great line. I like that.

Yeah. So he saw something.

That's about it. Is your brother hanging out

with you the whole time out there?

Yes. Yep.

Okay.

So when it gets to be nighttime in the middle

of the shawamegan forest out there and it's nice and dark,

what kind of noises do you hear in the middle

of the shawamegan forest in the middle of the night?

Oh, we've heard bobcats,

screech owls,

and fart owls.

I haven't heard any wolves this year, you know.

But...

Sad, did you say wolves? Did I hear you say wolves?

Yep. Yep.

They're eating the dogs. They're eating the pets.

No sasquatches though.

Out there?

No sasquatches. I haven't even found any track.

Or could they just be disguising their voices

as wolves maybe, huh?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Sleep well, the night rob. Sleep well.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Do you...

Are you...

You've done this enough now out there,

so you sleep pretty good at night, probably, don't you?

Oh, yeah. Yep.

I sleep better here than I do at home.

But that first year or so,

you must have had things run into the back of your mind,

like, who's coming for me out here, right?

Yep. That first year,

even my one niece, Adam,

we had her here,

and we had some steak,

and we had the tea bones left over,

and I told her we were going to put them on the side of the tent,

so the wolves could come by,

and she got a little scared,

and scooted her cot over to her dad,

and real close,

so she's not close to the edge of the tent, you know?

Yeah, exactly.

All right, Rob.

Well, I hope your Thanksgiving meal goes good tomorrow.

We look forward to hearing from you again.

When we come back.

Good night.

Is it...

Is it the deer hunter's roundup?

If we don't play,

you are my sunshine.

Oh, by Tiger Lily, yeah.

Yeah.

We'll play that coming out of our first break.

How about that?

That'd be awesome.

Yeah, I've got that.

In fact, I just was looking at that song before we went on the air here,

so we will definitely throw that on there.

I'm glad you brought that up.

Awesome.

Hey, I want to say happy things given to everybody, too.

You guys always do an awesome job,

and it's just nice to be out here,

and hopefully everybody has a wonderful Thanksgiving,

and enjoys everybody's family, and friends,

and listening to stories, and enjoys themselves.

All right, Rob.

Appreciate you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours also out there.

You're on the roundup.

Who's this?

It's a Merlin from the Nutt Hut.

Boy, you're Rob from the Nelson Camp,

and the Nutt Hut.

Back to back, baby.

This is a good night.

Pretty good.

It's a good night.

Merlin, what's going on with the Nutt Hut?

Same thing.

Don't fall on today again.

Same thing.

Okay.

No, no bucks, but a lot.

I heard a lot of shooting towards the end of the night, though.

Okay.

All right.

Hopefully they come around tomorrow.

So.

Do you think there's different movement

with the colder weather out there with the deer?

I think so.

I think so.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They got to get batten up for this cold,

so I think they moved.

Yeah, exactly.

All right.

So do you have a name for your sausage?

Had an idea here to ask people?

He said that you said that a lot of people have names

for their deer stand, right?

Absolutely.

Great sausage.

Yep.

Do you guys, Merlin?

Do you name your deer stand?

No, not really.

Okay.

The one by the hill or the one by the telephone pole?

Or one down on the fence, won't they?

So it's I.

Yeah, it's identical.

Yeah, it's a little less formal.

I think that counts though.

Yeah, it's still counts.

Yeah, I think that counts.

Those are names.

All right.

All right, Merlin.

Hope you have a great Thanksgiving.

You guys also.

I love your show.

All right.

We love you guys.

So thank you so much.

Our number 715744106.

It's all about you.

All about the phone calls.

We are on 98 Q.

Country in Park Falls.

We are on 101.1 FM.

WHSM and Hayward.

We are on 105.5 W.I.R.I.

in the Nakusa and Wisconsin Rapids area.

And we are on the 98 Q.

YouTube channel, which has had,

I think about 1200 views already.

Yes, yes.

People are.

People want to see how silly we look.

Not just how silly we sound.

Now we got sausage in here.

It may blow up.

They might not be able to handle it here.

That's possible.

We're about to go viral.

Especially when the ladies find out.

Oh, yeah.

So you hunt in the FPH Country Club,

which has been calling into the roundup for,

I don't know, a lot of years, right?

A lot.

How long does the FPH name go back to?

Do you know how far back that goes?

Oh, I think it goes back to the original shack

out there in the big woods.

So we're looking 20, 30,

38 years somewhere in there.

All right.

And who hunts with you out there sausage at the FPH Country Club?

Oh, well, we got a whole crew that's out there starting with toner.

We got the cooking bee,

bee nut, cina, dina,

Trayvon Hughes is there,

Johnny Apple Sleep,

Turtle Junior, trying to think,

I'm sure I'm missing somebody with all that.

I don't know how you could.

It sounds like you could throw a shot,

just throw a dart at the wall and hit a name.

Yeah.

And then we had some visitors today with us

helping do some deer drives from the,

what's you more call it camp?

So we had ripped throughout 27

and beater came over.

So that was good to see them.

So what, I mean,

it's all about tradition

and getting together with people.

A lot of times it's once a year that this happened.

So what's the most people that you've had

do you think at your play at the FPH Country Club at one time?

Oh, at one time.

Well, we used to be a little wilder back in the younger days, you know.

So I'm sure we've had 30,

35 people at one time.

Oh, really?

Oh, yeah, really.

But, you know,

it's on average,

I would say during the season,

we're half a dozen each night.

Yeah.

All right.

More of your calls on the roundup

from all around Wisconsin and the North Woods.

You are on the roundup.

Who's this?

This is Skidmark for Camp Alco.

How are we doing?

Skidmark?

Whereabouts are you guys calling from?

Ah, well, camp's up by Perk Falls,

but I am back at home with Self Service.

Oh, with Self Service.

Very good.

Very good.

All right.

What happened out at your camp today?

There's Skidmark.

Pretty good success out there for this season.

We had two little bucks and then a big dough.

Yeah.

So all around pretty good.

Just good laughs, good hangouts.

Yeah.

I saw a couple of numbers from the DNR

that it's kind of hard to tell early on,

but the registration seems to be pretty good.

I think the deer kill is at a pretty good number.

It seems like Skidmark, but you're seeing quite a bit, huh?

Yeah.

We had good fun out there.

Yeah.

Pretty much everyone got something.

Yeah.

Do you guys name your deer stand?

Do you have an old Bessie or a little one?

Any name for your deer stands?

Well, we got the coffee shack and then a stavers field

and then that's about it.

Okay.

The coffee.

Just pop up lanes.

The coffee one interests me.

Is that drive up or do you got a walk?

Do you got a walk to it or what is that?

What is that?

It was originally made out of a bunch of used coffee bean bags.

Okay.

There you go.

There you go.

Nice.

All right, very good.

All right, Skidmark.

We appreciate the update.

Hope you and the crew have a great Thanksgiving tomorrow.

You as well.

Bye.

Thank you very much.

Everybody who calls goes in for all the drawings.

If you email us,

Gray has a few already.

To get to, these automatically get sliced up

and put in the box also for the drawings too.

You betcha.

A lot of these were from earlier today.

Some people kind of pre-emailing us,

which we appreciate.

Grandma Juju took butter bean.

This is from Grandma Juju in Papa Tom, by the way.

Grandma Juju took butter bean four-year-old grandson

to the tree stand today.

Saw two do's and nothing else.

It was enough for butter bean.

He loves hunting and even made a drive.

Shout out to FPH Country Club and Camp Smear Stick.

Let's see.

Camp belly acres.

Dumber checking and nothing much to report on today.

Still have one deer hanging,

but we'll be back out tomorrow.

Good news is we're eating good.

Backstrap from Shotgun Allys Doe

that have been marinating for days.

Also to all the hunters and listeners out there

have a safe and happy Thanksgiving.

Dumber has a very appropriate photo

under 98Q Photo Portion of 98QCountry.com.

That's all I'll say.

Just take a look at it.

It's everything you would expect

the moniker of Dumber to have in a photo.

And Gray.

I'm just going to pretend.

Anyway.

Gray, from the Red Pine London to Shanna Golden,

squirrels and turkeys for them today,

quick shout out to my old friend BC

at the Bullfrog Resort in Radisson.

All right.

So you can e-mails the best way.

WCQM at CivicMedia.us.

If you want to text it,

that's fine too.

Do the CivicMedia app.

You can do that also.

And the keyword for today.

What was the keyword for today?

You know, I read it several times throughout the day.

And the moment that six o'clock rolled around,

I decided to let it fall out of my head.

B-A-D-E-R-S.

Texas Bators for your chance to win

like $150 price package, I think, is what it is.

We got leaners in there.

And the 98Q Gear Hunters Roundup hoodie.

Sausage.

What do you think?

I mean, we've almost got bigger, too big for our bridges here.

We got hoodies.

We're networked.

You know, we might get run out of the Northwoods

if we take this any further.

Sausage, I don't know.

I got to be honest.

You're starting to sound a lot like a country club.

Yeah.

Oh, that's right.

Exactly.

We're going to have to hire you in for consulting on

making sure we fit the bill properly.

Yeah.

We may have to move our broadcast center out to the FPH country.

Hey, we would take you in.

We'd roll out their red carpet.

We're saving up.

We're getting fancy.

That's right.

You are on the Roundup.

Who is this?

This is Rocket from Camp Shootsalot.

Hey, Rocket.

How are we doing out there, Rocket?

Good.

Very good.

All right.

Where is Camp Shootsalot?

Where are you guys?

We're in Kataba.

All right.

All right.

Give us some good news out there.

Well, we've seen some deer today.

I've seen three doles and fawns.

Cowboy, he's seen seven doles and fawns.

And Blue Shoes had a nice six-point block by him.

Today, but he could not get a clean shot at it,

so he let it walk.

Okay.

Well, you got it or you don't, right?

I mean, it can't be pot-shot.

Yeah, exactly.

You have to make a good shot.

It's very important, and that's very good.

Yep.

Yep, exactly.

All right.

What are we doing for Thanksgiving tomorrow?

Are we hunting or eating?

Or what are we doing out there?

We are going to eat at camp here.

We're making a ham and potatoes and stuffing and desserts.

And we're going to end up probably having about 15 people out here.

Very good.

You guys name your stand out there that you go out and sit in?

Do you have names for those out there, Rocket?

Yeah.

We got a couple names.

One we call a North 40 stand.

One is called the corner stand.

And then we got one on the river edge stand we call, so.

Yeah.

Yeah.

They all got names and some have plaques, maybe, too.

I'm sure some of them all are on the Northwood.

That's exactly right.

They all got memories.

That's the most important.

That's right.

All right, Rocket.

We appreciate your call as always.

And you have a happy Thanksgiving and thank you for the show.

Yep.

You betcha.

I spent the afternoon contemplating whether I was going to be a spatch cocking tomorrow or not.

And my wife informed me that I was going to be a spatch cocking tomorrow.

An executive decision was made.

My son came home from college about 330 this afternoon and I walked in where he had his video games set up.

And my wife was in there and I said to my wife, I said.

So the big question is I said, are we spatch cocking or not?

And my son looked at me and said, Dad, I'm home now.

You can't talk like that anymore.

The process, you know what that is?

We talked about it on the air today.

I got to say, it sounds like something that happens at some camps, but I don't.

What is Grey?

We explained it.

You explained what it is.

It's basically butterfly in Turkey.

You take the backbone out of the bird by cutting it out with a scissors and that lets you butterfly it and cook it really fast.

Hour and a half, which the thought of cooking a turkey in an hour and a half, I thought.

You got me nervous already.

But it's apparently you can lay it open and you can grill it, you can fry it, you can bake it.

I don't know if I believe in it yet.

We're going to do it.

It's important for me that we are going to do it tomorrow.

I guess I've spatched cocked a lot of chickens in my life.

Yeah.

Because that's what I am out and grill them on the grill.

You just didn't know you were doing it.

Yeah.

If we see Joel going for the next few days, we know what happened.

I'm going to happy because the whole process of slicing up the turkey, as I get older, is more and more dangerous with a sharp knife.

And anytime that involves a sharp knife and leverage, that sometimes can end badly.

I'm thinking the spatched cocking is going to be more dangerous.

My wife said that she's the one who's going to take the bird braille, take the core out though.

I guess I don't have to do that.

I'm picturing your first novel, Joel, the pitfalls of spatched cocking.

A book written with one hand by Joel Karnick.

How I lost the ring finger on my left hand.

Exactly, chapter two.

It was to text.

How we missed all the other fingers and got just the ring finger on his left hand by Joel Karnick.

Former host of the deer hunter's roundup.

You are on the roundup.

Who's this?

This is Blue Boomer from Bolton Camp.

From the Bolton Camp.

And where is the Bolton Camp?

In Phillips.

In Phillips.

All right.

The Bolton Camp.

And what do you got to say for yourself in Phillips?

I don't know.

Lots of deer around here.

So did we catch you by surprise?

Did you call us or did we call you?

How many people are hunting with you there at the Bolton Camp?

I think five or six.

Five or six?

All right.

Were you were you out hunting today?

Yeah.

Did you see anything?

Yeah, I got a buck.

You got a buck.

How big?

Four point.

Four point or all right.

Nicely done.

See, that's how it works.

Yeah.

It's all right.

Very good.

Anybody else in your camp get a deer yet?

Not yet.

But we've seen deer.

All right.

So you're bragging, right?

Kind of.

Kind of.

Kind of, yeah.

All right.

You should be.

Sound like you may qualify for our youth drawing.

Am I correct on that, sir?

Yep.

All right.

We'll put you in for the youth drawing and the gun courtesy of Nemeth Implement.

Thank you for the update from the Bolton Camp.

We appreciate it.

Yep.

All right.

You bet.

Just sound like he wasn't really.

I think he got the wrong number.

No, no, no.

I think he was waiting to place an order for food and got Joel Karnak instead.

That was.

I think that's.

I think you were playing B there.

We made me one number away from somewhere.

You are on the roundup.

Who's this?

Camp Blanc Drop.

Hey, Mr. Janicek.

How are you?

Yeah.

Yeah.

We'll pull that about.

Are you still yelling at me?

I heard you were.

Yeah.

What?

What was that all about?

What was what all about?

All that noise.

And that was the crowd cheering for you.

You're a very popular caller to the roundup.

How do I sound on a new phone?

Oh, you sound fabulous.

Fabulous.

You got a new cell phone or new landline?

A new cell phone.

New cell phone.

Look at you go, Mr. Janicek.

All right.

So what happened in the wood for Camp Blanc shot today?

Nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing.

A lot of nothing, huh?

All right.

Yeah.

All right.

You guys have a deer stand out there that you hunt in

or you just kind of walk the woods?

Stand, sit in the stand.

Okay.

You got a name for your deer stand out there?

Yeah.

The one that's above the ground and the one that's on the ground.

There you go.

How about that sausage?

Yeah.

Yeah.

That's right.

That's right.

So what happened to them the first couple nights there?

They didn't get that song on there?

Well, it got lost.

We transitioned to new owners and all the computers.

Got thrown in a back room and Bucky Bucky was in the back room.

And I spent literally, I was up to like three or four in the morning.

Draining that, well, maybe not quite that.

But we got in tears.

I can assure you of that.

We got it off the computer and on the air.

And we even had it out before we went on the air.

Here's you hear that?

I heard it.

I heard it yesterday.

And I heard it today.

Thank you.

You're very welcome.

I'm a very sensitive guy.

And you got another song.

I don't know what it's called, but it's that one and back of the truck.

The big rack in the back of the truck.

Bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger.

And it gets bigger and bigger.

It's like a good Friday night.

Hmm.

It starts off with a smaller deer.

And then as they talk, they're bucking the back of my truck with the big rack.

Oh, the deer hunting in Wisconsin.

I think that was.

Yeah, I think that's the one.

Yeah, we'll play.

I think we played that the first night, but we can do that again.

Exactly.

All right.

Well, thank you.

Thank you and keep up the good work until camp.

Cheers.

Stick.

Hello from us.

All right.

We'll do.

I'm just glad everybody's stopping yelling at me because I'm a very sensitive host of the show.

Joel here.

We've got Gray Austin has showed up.

And we've got Jane hanging out in the front office there. Rachel making sure nobody breaks in.

She's our security guard out there and takes care of us.

You didn't know we had a security guard, Sausage.

It's not great pass.

Yeah, you did. Yeah, she didn't even say you had to bet.

You leaned down a little bit. That was nice.

Well, I'd crawl in on all fours.

You're good at that, huh?

And let's get back to more of your calls at 715-744-106.

You are on the Roundup, who's this?

Oh, hell yeah.

Hell yeah. How are we doing?

And I lost my sound effects. Hang on. Just how possible.

Over there, there we go.

Camp G.

Camp G. Spot. How are we doing out there?

Well, I'm going to tell you, Joel. I'm glad you asked.

Thank you. What I do. That's what I do.

I'm going to tell you, I came up with an analogy today.

Okay.

And it's like the most beautiful leak that's been out since.

Okay.

But you still go back in hopes for a trophy.

Okay.

Because you used to catch them there.

All right. That's exactly right.

Now, that's the way I'm looking at this.

But no, I'm enjoying it. It's been a great hunt so far.

The weather today was just incredible.

Quiet.

Nothing moving for me, but you know, hey, you can't have everything.

Is the snow still sticking around on the ground for you out there?

Oh, it's just, yes, perfect.

Yeah, just enough to get you some good visibility, right?

Well, it's ice underneath.

So it's a little crunchy, but no, it's great.

I mean, if I were to see one and shoot one, if I had to track it, it would be great.

Yeah, yeah, it would be easy tracking. That's for sure.

All right. So what do we do?

Do you have a deer stand?

Hell, yeah, that you sit in?

I do.

Yeah.

And I don't get a last one, probably seven, eight years ago.

All right.

I get her up and I call it the Shangri-La.

Yes, Shangri-La.

Oh, yeah.

A couple Shangri-La's.

Taj Mahal's out there.

Yeah, exactly.

Yes, there is.

Now, those are shacks.

Now, this is just a stand.

It's probably as comfortable of a chair as I have in the shack.

Okay.

All right.

No, it's fantastic.

All right.

But now, I want to do a shout-at.

Shout-at.

Shout-at.

Shout-at.

Yeah, I'm calling it the shout-at now.

Okay.

And it's to the leadership of the DNR.

Not employees, just to the leadership.

Okay.

And I want to say, let's make deer numbers great again.

Okay.

All right.

I don't think they should be appointed.

I think they should be elected.

All right.

They're eating the dogs.

They're eating the dogs.

They're eating the dogs.

That's what I was hoping for.

All right.

That's what I was hoping for.

Because, you know, I think, you know, we hunt the big woods up here.

And it takes a special kind of hunter to hunt the big woods.

Anybody can go to the farmland and the southern zones.

And I'll tell you, you take the best quality hunter from up here.

And you put them down there.

They're going to score within the first couple hours.

Yeah.

So figure it out and move on.

So it takes a special hunter to come here.

Yeah.

Now, we just need the deer numbers to come back.

Yeah.

I'm tired of excuses from the DNR.

I'm tired of the baby boomers aren't coming in blah, blah.

I've been hunting up here for 40.

I did it today in the math.

45 years.

I've missed two years and 45 years.

And I've seen the good.

I've seen the bad.

And it's still good.

I mean, just coming here is good.

Why?

We can get the numbers up.

I think we could get the hunters to come back.

Like that.

Feel the dreams.

If you get the numbers up, they will come.

All right.

So do you.

I'm not complaining or anything.

I'm enjoying it.

As far as everyone else.

And, like I said, that's what all I have to say tonight.

And it was, hey, oh, I do have to tell you that the young buck last night.

He was good.

Great.

He's right here.

He's got possibilities.

He is a young buck.

Yeah.

Well, thanks.

I appreciate that.

Greg's got possibilities.

He's going to be okay.

Now, we have a nickname for the crew last night.

Okay.

Now, let me tell you something about this problem.

We cause some Yogi and Boo Boo.

I can't even argue with you.

That's the worst part.

I like that.

I like that.

Big G sounds like Yogi and he sounded like Boo Boo.

All right.

No.

Right.

But let's, let's get the picnic basket.

I got to do something about this now.

This is the problem.

You have pointed out.

Okay.

Not a problem.

It's great.

It's cool.

You know, my instinct is, ah, hell no.

Oh, one, come on now.

So we got to end it.

Give it to me, ah.

Hell yeah.

We got to get a hell yeah.

All right.

Very good.

We've got you guys tomorrow.

Camp G-Spot.

So to get the wolf, to get the deer numbers up, what?

We do one or two things, right?

We either get rid of the wolves or we start slipping by egg

or into the corn piles.

I don't know.

Which one do you think sausage?

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

I don't know.

Which one do you think sausage?

I, ah.

I think one's easier than the other.

And he's not saying which one either.

I haven't heard that one.

I'll let them figure it out.

You are on the roundup.

Who's this?

This is Timothy and Michael.

Hi, Timothy and Michael.

Where are you calling from?

Snake in the bush.

Snake in the bush.

Where do you guys hang out?

Where do you call home?

Uh, Boulder Junction.

Boulder Junction.

All right.

Give us a report from Boulder Junction today.

Uh, we saw two more bucks

and we saw two other ones

have so they left kind of.

And then that big doe came on and gave us a wish.

All right.

So any deer hanging for you there?

No.

No.

Not yet.

All right.

So what are we doing tomorrow?

Are you getting up early and hunting tomorrow?

Or what are you doing?

Uh, I don't know.

You're not sure yet, huh?

We'll see if the alarm clock goes off.

Yep.

See if you respond to your alarm clock.

All right.

All right.

Well, we'll put you guys in for the youth hunt gun drawing.

We appreciate the check-in from Boulder Junction.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

All right.

Timothy and Michael.

They're conferencing in their technology here.

Yeah, I could picture them both just kind of sitting there

staring at the phone.

Yes.

And waiting for me to do something better than I did.

Come on.

Do stuff.

You were on the roundup.

Who's this?

Hey, Joe.

It's Jimbo from Camp Gallon, Louis.

Hey, Jimbo.

How are we doing out there?

Pretty good.

All right.

Uh, it was.

We didn't see any deer, so it's still slow.

All right.

Um, but it was.

It was pretty pleasant to be out in the woods today.

All right.

Yeah.

Only about 19 degrees.

But when you don't have much of a win,

that's a big factor, isn't it?

The heaters are very nice to us.

Yeah.

The heater.

Are you talking about the cigarettes or the actual

figures physical?

No, no, no, no.

You're regular.

You know what you're talking about.

I said the word heaters to my wife the other day and she said,

what do you have from the 70s or something?

Grab a heater?

Yeah.

All right.

So do you guys, you guys name your camp, uh, your stand,

your deer stands?

Um, you know, I'll.

They used to, I was just started hunting.

We always had like, uh, the guy who hunt with us,

Greg number one stand or number two.

And the one that I remember the most, uh,

we used to call the nosebleed stand.

And that was about two and a half feet off the ground.

But yeah, that was my first stand that I hunted at.

When I just started old.

But that one, yeah, that one rings a bell to me.

Just enough to get off the ground.

Yeah.

Yep.

Yep.

It was perfect for me.

Sounds like a safe one to fall asleep in.

Yeah.

Exactly.

It was just like a tree stump.

Uh, yeah.

Exactly.

All right, Jimbo.

We appreciate the update.

Hope you have a terrific Thanksgiving tomorrow.

You two guys, uh, we will hopefully talk to you Friday.

All right.

Camp Galen, Louis.

We will, we will not be on the air tomorrow.

We'll be on Friday.

Great.

We got a lot more emails coming in.

WCQM at civicmedia.us.

You bet.

The High Lemon Hills Camp's been sending us an update every day.

And excuse me, I should say exciting news for the crew

at the High Lemon Hills Frisbee Golf and Trap Range.

All right.

It's made a big expansion.

It's in getting better.

We made a big expansion in hunting land, pushed to the west,

and unexplored lands put up a new stand.

It's called the island for now.

We haven't had enough votes from the executive board

to assign an official name more to come.

Uh, more news.

We officially broke the streak of no-bucks today

when random hero found some shed antlers during a drive.

As for live deer, ever since we've rebranded,

those as swamp donkeys, they've been much more prevalent.

Collectively, we're up to several Davies worth of the peaky critters.

Back at it tomorrow and again,

hoping for a better report,

bus driver, random hero M77 and the one Oak Ridge boy

enjoying some steaks from the freezer.

That sounds like an acquisition.

Maybe the FPH Country Club could look into that.

That's a pretty elaborate outfit they got there.

Sounds that way.

For sure.

Yeah, we'd have to talk to our board of directors.

Potential future merger there.

Yeah.

To get a board of directors.

Shake up in the hunting camp economy.

But then talk to them.

Yeah.

Butterfly checking in from camp how many shots?

Not seeing much other than the no-brother good

and lost seeing a tail running from him.

We're hanging in and holding out hope.

Thanks for the show.

Thank you for checking in.

Got one more for you.

Hello WCQM folks and fellow hunters.

Dino from Camp Gunsmoke.

Checking in from just west of Feifield.

Another quiet day,

but overnight buck activity on the trail cams keeping hopes alive.

Still only 200s in camp today,

but tomorrow will be close to full strength.

Shout out to Camp Pork Chop Hill.

We miss you.

Wishing everyone a happy Thanksgiving.

Good luck tomorrow.

Gunsmoke signing out.

And like they always sign off.

Rock on.

Peace out.

All right.

And we certainly want to hear from our listeners

at 105.5 W-I-R-I in the Kusa area.

101.1 FM in Hayward.

You can use that WCQM at civicmedia.us.

To communicate with us.

If you like, let's go back to the phones.

You're on the roundup.

Who's this?

No, I can't walk me.

Camp Nancy.

All right.

Where about this camp?

No light.

No light.

Nancy from Camp No Lights.

Got you.

Nancy from Camp No Lights.

I got you back, Nancy.

We want to give a shout out to Duck Quacker out in the Kusa.

All right.

And then,

we'll shoot and rock it and shoot it.

And cowboy.

And cowboy.

And cowboy.

Are they all out in the Kusa?

No, just Duck Quackers.

Just the Duck Quackers.

The rock and in blue shoes are some that we hear from.

I'm pretty sure.

Yeah, yeah.

We'll hear from them maybe later, hopefully.

Yeah.

So what do we got for Thanksgiving tomorrow there, Nancy?

I can't know lights.

I'm not going to be out hunting.

Okay.

All right.

Nothing wrong with it.

I'm going to celebrate it probably next week.

Yeah.

Sure.

Sure.

Wait till that turkey goes back on sale again, you bet.

Give your thanks quietly after shooting a big buck, right?

Doing it the right way.

That's right.

All right, Nancy.

Thank you.

Appreciate you, Nancy.

Thank you.

Camp no lights.

You're on the roundup.

Who's this?

Hello.

Say that again.
