I have one question and that question is is it September yet.

Welcome back to another episode of Cutting the Distance. I'm Dirk Durham and there are

16 days left until September. I can't even believe it. It seems like this summer

is just kind of blown by.

It's been super busy for me.

We've had lots of camp and trips,

done a lot of family stuff, and a lot of scouting,

and it seems like there's never enough days since summer.

You know, the short window of getting to the backcountry here in Idaho is,

it's tough because you know, a lot of them places are just not accessible until after July 1st or so

around 4th of July you can start hitting almost everywhere in the backcountry just due to there's just so much snow

It just kind of lingers a little too long but be that as it may this episode we're going to talk about live balls, grunts, chuckles, and barks, right?

If you remember back in episode number 86, we covered calling fundamentals, cow calls,

and basic bugles. Well this is the next episode and final episode of this

little calling series where we're going to kind of go over all the best practices to

help you guys get a little better at Collin Elk and have a little more confidence this fall.

But first, before we get too far, get too carried away. We have a question-answer

segment sponsored by Pendleton Whiskey, Letter Buck. Now this question is

not one in particular from one person. This question comes from direct messages,

for in-person questions. People have called in and asked about this question.

So I'm going to do my best to answer it here. It's a very popular one and maybe some of you can relate.

The question is, I can't chuckle very good and I'm worried about messing up my chances in calling in a bull. Can you help me with my Chuckles?
