Summary

First off – we made it to Arizona AND hunted all four days we intended to hunt, so we can already say this is a marked improvement over the last podventure. Mark and Jimmy sit down in a hotel room on an oddly rainy southern Arizona evening around midnight or so to talk about one of the most challenging but immensely fun hunts they’ve ever done. They give the rundown on how the Subaru performed going cross-country and then offroading around the AZ desert, lessons learned bowhunting coues deer in some seriously brutal terrain, glassing tips, and how effectively stalking deer is a lot like mimicking tigers on National Geographic. As always, we want to hear your feedback! Let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on Instagram @vortexnationpodcast

0:00.0	Welcome to the Vortex Nation podcast brought to you by lovers of hunting, shooting, public lands, the Second Amendment and good food. What's up everybody here to paint the scene quickly for you.
0:19.0	We've discussed a lot of things leading up to this

0:55.0	I will, I will point out, maybe we can discuss that later, but anyway, yeah, the original idea, the Subaru has been modified with a solar panel set up on the hood that
1:08.7	charges a deep cycle battery in the rear in the spare tire well and that actually then has a power inverter off
1:16.2	of it that we would have been able to use for the podcast we've tested this out
1:19.5	it actually can work and maybe we'll have to record another podcast someday just out of the
1:23.4	back of the ill soup why not but yeah why not but alas here we are with MC Ryan in
1:29.7	this in this motel room but but following a couple of days of some really awesome hunting and so we wanted to give
1:41.2	you guys a little bit of an idea of what it's been like,
1:44.6	maybe what some of the applications of the former podcast
1:49.2	that we recorded on this series
1:51.0	have been like here actually putting boots to the ground and other things
1:56.4	that we learned along the way too that we figure some of you may be able to, I don't know, glean
2:02.3	some experience.
