Jon's great adventure that Austin gets to come along on

[Jonathon]

So, we are heading up today to go shoot some videos with PF/QF and Ron Schara. We are shooting and staying in https://www.4200uplandestate.com/ which is about the nicest place I have ever seen and we are working with a Chef John Wipfli https://www.instagram.com/jonwipfli/?hl=en on some wild game stuff. Should be a lot fo fun but here is the great part, Austin is driving so I am going to be getting caught up on Meatgistics stuff the entire ride up!

Then, the even better part is that on Wednesday we are going on a guided fishing tour with Travis Frank (professional guide, TV host and podcast guest) for Muskies and Walleyes…I shall dominate Austin and post pictures to prove it! The only downside is I am pretty sure we will be using spinning reels and I want to see Austin try to deal with a rats nest from casting…I may sabatoge him!

Jonathon what does Austin usually use when fishing a Zebco Snoopy pole?

I must be blind as a bat or stupid as a Jaybird, Where is it?

Tex_77 Jonathan probably has a pocket fisherman.

Jonathon Better be careful with Austin, it could be a long walk home!

[Jonathon]

I got schooled at pool last night. Austin is much better at 9 ball than I am.

We’ve got a bet on heaviest fish and the most fish. Both will be settled on a futurre livestream !

[Jonathon]

I’m not a huge fan of cats but this place has the funniest most dog like cat I have ever met. If they aren’t careful I’m bringing him home to meet Brutus and riggins!

[Austin]

Getting started on recording 4 videos with Pheasants Forever today!

[Ridley Acres]

I spy with my little eye something ORANGE!

[Austin]

Ridley Acres Haha! It is actually a Pheasants Forever hat, not a Walton’s hat though. Jonathon brought his blue custom hat, but put it to the side when Chris @ PF gave us the orange PF hats.

[twilliams]

Austin I did notice the hats but I thought maybe he was going for the tripod leg….lol

Even PF knows what color to use. Awesome.

Sounds like an incredible trip, looking forward to seeing what you all will be doing with the wild game and catch.

we all wish we were there

So, I want to include some links to Jon Wipfli stuff cause…wow. Talk about a fountain of knowledge, guys I learned more about french style cooking in 8 hours than I have in years. THis guy wrote a venison cook book called [Slay to Gourmet](https://www.[link removed]/Venison-Gourmet-Field-Kitchen-Cookbook/dp/0760352402) He owns Animales which is pronounced like tamales in 2 locations and is just an all around awesome person. Big fan of what he does and how he does it. I think the 4 videos we did yesterday will all be really good. They are going to be released under Pheasants and Quails forever under 2 campaigns, one is Path to the Uplands, it is shorter, easier recipes and the other is Bird in the Bag which are more in depth.

In both series I acted as the audience and asked questions that I thought you guys would want to know.
