JVB’s claim it would take decades to shoot over a hundred whitetails shows he isn’t familiar with bag limits in the south. Parts of Tennessee you can shoot 3 does a day every day of a 40ish day season. Depredation permits are pretty easy to get if you are or know a landowner. Depending on how the permit is worded, that can include bucks and those german sheperd sized does. Pretty easy to kill 100s of deer in a couple years if one were to put in the work.
Let alone the pigs. which most would argue are tougher than a whitetail (still not hard to kill). I'm willing to bet 90% of them are killed with an AR. I've killed 100s. A fagmenting bullet though the vitals takes them down very quick. We do shoot alot in the head though lol

It's a pretty good little haul, probably 34 hrs of actual drive time depending.
I used to drive 1600 miles in 24 hours to get to work. I enjoy the experience. Plus, I hate flying in the winter. I've gotten stuck in the Denver airport too many times to count. Cost me a bunch of money in day rate contracting work. Better to just drive.

Did he seriously say that?



I know guys killing 100 a year, doing depredation.

Hunters that are killing 12-15 a year, so even without permits, 100 in a decade is pretty easy to hit.
something similar. I believe it was “dozens and dozens a year but it would be decades and decades to shoots 100s of deer”
He did call southern whitetail does the size of a german shepherd, which was an interesting comparison.

I have driven straight through on 24-32 hour trips several times. I don't have much of it in me anymore.

At least you not worried about your luggage making it, we'll, except the methhead that grabs the shit from the back of the truck at waffle house.

Thats why you hide all your gear under pvc pipes you spray painted copper. It distracts them from what is really valuable.

There's areas where they are that size, south central/eastern portions of my state, and from there south, mature does can be in the 100# realm. Most of ours are probably 150 with some sprinkled in Dino Does that are 175 on the hoof. Mature bucks are 225-235# usually.

Since you mentioned methheads and a Waffle House, I know you’re within driving distance for me. 😀

I tried to listen to the second jvb episode this afternoon while driving around checking some cows. I’ll try to summarize what I listened to however I was only able to make it about half way through before turning it off

The first 12 minutes or so are of jvb “reading between the lines” and out right lying about the exo guys moose and caribou hunts this season. He specifically calls out Steve for having his caribou stay on its feet for to long and shooting a moose multiple times. He also talks about how the limited number of caribou he’s shot all died instantly. If I was Steve I would be very upset with his “friend”for his lies and comments about his own experiences he was not present for.

The next 10 or so minutes are him recommending Barnes bullets (shocking considering they sponsor his show) when using smaller calibers. He goes on to talk about how animals shot with them run for 50 or so yards then die. This is ok when it’s his experience but when Steve’s caribou does it it’s unacceptable.

The remaining 30 or so minutes I was able to listen to consisted of him reading listener messages all agreeing with him about how great the first podcast was. This seems to affirm his belief and ego that this podcast was somehow a great gift to the hunting community. The last part I listened to was him telling his listeners to share the podcast and that he hoped this would help grow his brand substantially. At this point I could no longer stand listening and I shut it off.
