And, and again, re-remind people, and maybe if they're tuning into this, they can go back to the other one, but kind of briefly again, what, what you do with the hunting sou- or the Hunt Source, um, and give a brief overview of that and what you provide to your, your clients.
30:53
Yeah.
30:53
So basically, um, I'm doing my best to simplify the application process or, um- Walk people through on how to do it and what's gonna fit best for them.
31:03
And so we'll build a plan for the upcoming year and then also tentative plans for the future so they know exactly where to apply, what units they're looking at, and the reasons behind all of it.
31:13
Um, basically teaching them how to apply and where to hunt instead of just giving them all of that.
31:19
And then, uh, once they draw a tag, they can book a hunt plan, and with that I just, um, kind of give them...
31:24
Uh, not kind of, I give them an area to go hunt, and then I'll map out three specific areas to focus on, um, glassing spots, all that.

Yeah.
16:11
Um, and it sounds like you have a strategy to help them do that.
16:17
Absolutely.
16:18
Um, I think f- you know, units like that that take 20, you know, in some cases 30-plus points do have their place, but only if you have a plan set up where you don't really care if you draw that tag or not and you have...
16:32
You're financially stable enough that it's okay to throw that money away, 'cause let's be honest, you are throwing that money away until someday that does strike and you draw that.
16:41
So you-- But what happens is you need to have states set up where you can draw tags every single year, and if you want to, you can do that and throw that money away in the meantime.
16:52
But what that means is having a strategy.
16:54
So what we tend to do with that is we have these low point states that you can hunt every single year, and it's different for every hunter because most states have tags that you can draw, you know, every year or every other year, but it's gonna be dependent on that hunter what's worth their time to go out there and hunt those.

Um, my, my outlook on it is, is fairly pessimistic.
