Summary

From HQ, Mark and Jimmy are joined live via Skype by Ryan Muckenhirn at the tail end of his September archery hunt and "Scout Hunt" in pursuit of mule deer. The Slim Butte region of South Dakota is a difficult tag to draw for rifle and Ryan has been accumulating points for the last 7 years. Thinking he's surely due to draw any year now, he decided to get the far easier to draw September archery tag for the unit to scout things out and possibly arrow a deer while he's at it. We talk terrain, deer behavior this time of year and the sheer difficulty of trying to sneak up on one of these suckers pre-rut. As always - let us know if there are any topics you'd like covered on the Vortex Nation podcast by asking us on any one of our social media platforms and using #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. All right, welcome back everybody to another edition of Hunt Year Round,
0:23.4	of our Hunt Year Round series.
0:25.8	We're in September.
0:26.9	We're having our first remote slash internal podcast
0:31.8	with our very own Ryan Muckenhearn.
0:34.0	He's originally from Minnesota,
0:36.6	currently resides in Wisconsin,
0:39.3	but I think you could say that South Dakota
0:41.6	is his second home. I would agree. It's at least the
0:44.6	place he probably talks about most. Agreed. And we have done a remote
0:49.0	podcast before. This is the first one though where we actually are going
0:51.5	remote to talk to somebody who already is here at
0:53.6	Fortex. It's like an internal external. Yep. It's kind of like Pam Oliver down on the field, but
0:58.8	Ryan muckin'er it out in the field. Exactly. You've painted a picture. So and also to paint a picture we're going to paint a
1:05.8	picture of where you guys are right now and probably no better person to do that than you because you are there.
1:14.4	What does it look like, Ryan?
1:16.2	So we are in the northwest corner of South Dakota in a very interesting unit called the Slim Butes, which is a large upheaval of granite and
1:25.4	limestone, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. So I'm looking out in front of me and I
1:31.5	can see probably a hundred miles of nothing but
1:34.8	flat prairie and the beets are these white-walled pine-laden gorgeous craggy, very unforgiving features on this landscape and you can see
1:48.2	this Leviathan on the horizon from a very long ways away.
1:52.4	So as you're driving in from the east, it just looks like this enormous upheaval of land.
