As a guide and hunter, I've spent thousands of days in the field. This show is about translating

my hard-won experiences into tips and tactics that will get you closer to your ultimate

goal, success in the field. I'm Remi Warren. This is Cutting the Distance.

Welcome back everybody. Welcome back to the podcast. I hope you've been starting to plan and think about some of your spring hunts.

Last week I did a countdown of my top five favorite spring hunts. I got some interaction and some people debating what the top five were.

I know I keep thinking about that list and it constantly changes in my mind. But maybe it's inspired you to maybe plan out a spring hunt for yourself.

Now for me, I'm completely aware that it's only spring for half the world. South of the Equators just coming into fall.

As a guy who's chased the fall, the majority of his life, normally this time of year I find myself in the South Pacific

getting ready for the Red Deer Roar, getting ready to maybe chase some tar or the croak of the fallow.

It's one thing that I really am passionate about and obviously borders being closed and things what they are.

It's the first time in a long time last year and this year that I've had to sit out that season.

But that doesn't mean that I'm not thinking about you guys down there and not thinking about some incredible hunts that I've had in the other fall.

So this week I'm going to be doing a top five countdown of my favorite South Pacific or March through June fall hunting season.

But before we go there, I really want to share the story of what ended up being my best fallow buck with a bow.

This week I actually just got back the mount of my best fallow deer thus far.

I took it with my bow a couple years back in 2019 and it was just before everything shut down, before the world shut down for the whole epidemic.

So I got this mount back and it's just been like I've been kind of looking back at pictures, watching some video of the hunt and reliving that memory of what I think is one of my top and favorite hunting memories.

You go through and you have all these hunts and there's just some that stand out for various reasons.

I think as a hunter that's one of those things that's so cool about having antlers.

I'm looking where I'm recording here. I've got this little dog kennel that I've converted into a podcast studio.

Not little dog kennel, not like the kind you put them back in your car but it was a dog run for a while and now I've kind of converted it into a miniature office podcast place.

I've got a lot of my antlers here and it's just something you know as a hunter a lot of hunters can associate with this.
