Steve, happy Monday. It feels like a long time since we've done this.

Yeah, it has been a long time. We had a whole September go by, I think.

Yeah, Monday, a minute, man. Good to be back at it. September, on and

October here, it's crazy how quick that went, for sure. Yeah, man, it's good to catch up.

We'll get into a little bit of September stories. Obviously, we've been talking about the

Caribbean and this week for the main podcast is part two of you and I kind of debriefing

more the logistics and gear on that Caribbean. So tune back in on Wednesday to catch the part two

of that episode. And then here to answer a listener question, which we're getting ready to get

into, I think we'll relay maybe into some more stories, at least from your perspective, Steve,

on September. But I got an interesting email question from a guy that I'll just go ahead and

read in the world. We'll talk about it a little bit for this Monday minute. So he said he just got

home from an out-of-state hunt and he got his boatwats. So being a guy who's not from the west and

going out west, he had to scout and hunt as he went. He's basically asking what's the next step for

somebody who hunts out a state to find success after getting their butt kicked and eating tag soup.

So there's so much there in that question that we don't know. There's so many things that

could have should have what have you. We don't have details. And I don't want to get into that. But

from a really high level, I thought it was an interesting topic to discuss a little bit.

Here's we maybe get on the other side of September. And whether it's an out-of-state hunt or not,

I mean, there's guys who got skunked in September and state. There's guys who struggled, right? And so

some of the things I just thought would be good from a really high level to look at is, yeah, maybe

that September hunt you were looking at didn't go your way. Now what? And just kind of hit on that.

Steve, what are your first thoughts you didn't prepare for this? What just comes to mind as you hear
