I called my cameraman. I said, hey, meet me down in Maryland. I got a tag. He meets me at the truck stop in Maryland. He jumps in with me to this parking spot, and we get out, and the wind's just, it's like a tunnel. The wind's coming down is hollow. It's 20 degrees. And with the wind chill, it's zero. He's getting his gear on, boy, getting his cold weather gear on. I was like, hold on, cow. I don't know if the wind's going to be right for that. Kyle, why don't we just run up to the hot I-hop, sit there, get you a coffee. I'll get you a warm breakfast. We'll talk about this hunt today, you know know about a big old stack of pancakes baking
